go through the car and check bearings , I recently had a diff outdrive bearing go and it would intermittently lock up causing very poor handling . it happened at the same time I installed big bores and was chasing setup for a number of runs till the bearing finally started squeeking . after I changed the bearing the car was imediatly dialed .

Will do. .Some of the fast guys at my track say the b4 is always twitchy that how it is and AE buggys like slop. He could not keep the same lap time. Some laps were fast and some were 2sec or so slower it's just how the b4. 1 is it's not a good buggy for hard pack clay high traction it's better on a soft track. Hell I don'tkknow I am to new. But I like it I have fun with my b4

Default Chassis flex

My buddy....who is nameless....drives a durango...chopped his frame at some of the webbing...making a super flex chassis...the question i have is...does a more flexable chassis provide better grip on a VERY LOOSE ROUGH track?

try adding 1/4 oz to each or the rear triangles. Are you running a shorty or a full pack?

If your track is high traction you could use the graphite front arms. This will numb the responsiveness of the steering. After that you could try the graphite top plate and rear U brace. This will also calm everything down. The B4 loves to have slop, makes it more forgiving and takes away the twitchyness.

Slop = Good
