There is not much to talk about these days. All of the upgrades come with the car. Mostly people just asking about the chub and ubrace shaving. Maybe if the TLR or durango wheels will fit.

That made me LOL after reading the last 3 pages haha.

My B4.2 is really coming along...I ran my fastest single lap, 5 lap avg, and 10 lap avg last night...So today I'm pretty stoked on the B4.2! I really need to pick up another U-brace and C-hubs and try those out.

Just wanted to share a few pics of the recently released Yaiba Racing rear hubs for the AE cars. Vertical ballstud mounting for easy roll center adjustment and some extra room between the spring and rear camber link. Pics are on a fresh T4.2, but fitment is the same on the B4.2. More information and complete product line at www.tresrey-usa.com

dont forget you are using the yaiba +1mm shock bushing on the bottom. But yeah, the clearance looks good. The only thing that concerns me is the C hub config. You need to add 2 washers for the C hub height. That would mean 4 washers for the A height. I am not a huge fan of running a large amount of washers and making it more likely to snap a ball stud.

After snapping a ballstud in my 22 buggy aluminum hubs I quickly learned after having to buy a second set of expensive hubs that titanium ballstuds are the way to go. Never snapped a titanium ballstud. Might be ok with these hubs.

Running TD cars myself, I've run up to 6mm of shim under the outer steering links and as many as 4mm on both front and rear inner camber link mounts. I understand your concern, but I've never broken a ballstud on them. And the ballstud shim pictured are 3x8mm, providing a wider mounting surface for more stability in that regard.

Ti ballstuds definitely take more abuse than stock ones do. Next on the mod list, just built the truck a few days ago.

I'm having trouble distingusing Ti ball studs from some sort of Ti coating.... Looking for Ti ball studs for the Associated B4.1WC, T4.1, and SC10 2wd.

Any help available on here, plz.

I think these are the actual ones. It does not say 4-40, but I "assume" it is
