What length turnbuckles do you guys use? According to the manual, it says front camber is 2.62" steering is 2.83" and rear camber is 2.81"

The actual turnbuckles are 2" in length. Not many measure the entire turnbuckle with ball cups. I just build the turnbuckle/ball cup, snap em on and check toe/camber. I dont measure them out before putting them on.

Do the rear ackerman holes give you more or less Ackerman?

Ok, crazy question here. I am looking at either a B4.1WC or a B4.2.
Amain has them with about a $30 difference in the price.
Is the 4.2 that much better even considering the 4.1 has 2 sets of shocks that comes with it?

Thanks!

Default Loud car

Is a noisy transmission a characteristic of this car? Its so loud compared to the other 2wd buggies at the track.

Don't really know. Depends a lot on what the noise sounds like. Could be gear mesh, could be a top shaft, could be an idler gear (not very likely), could be the diff. Just lots of things.

Not sure if I agree. Sell the V2 shocks for $30, spend $37 on some Avid hexes and steering rack and save $23 overall for the same rig.

Or sell the big bores for $70, run the V2's, glue the rack and buy some hexes. Save $83 overall. 90% of the people out there won't even notice a difference.
