Or are they both for completely different surfaces?

Everyone who runs Gold says they last forever, and Green guys say they dont last long
I have used Gold on indoor clay. The green was for outside on dirt. Atleast that is what I always thought. On carpet they both wear fast.

I ran the ESC in the tray on a low bite track this past weekend and it was ok. I went faster than the week before but I think that was more because of better tire choice. I'll be on a medium bite track this weekend that I'm more familiar with. I should be able to see how it effected it more after that. As long as it doesn't make it worse, I'm keeping it. I cut a ton of weight due to less wiring, and it looks cooler, which as everyone knows, is the most important part of racing

For those running the ESC in the battery tray how are you finding it? What setup changes did you find necessary to meet the same feel as what you had before you moved the ESC there?

I didn't change anything, and don't plan on changing anything. The whole point is to make the car transition quicker side to side through the turns. If it was too much then I guess I would increase dampening to slow it down some, but I can't see it being too much.

why would you move the esc to have it handle the same? The whole point is to make a change to the cars handling. Why make a change only to zero it out?

A new setup was posted on the AE site. It is pretty standard, but does use the 1.4 pistons and a longer rear link.

I looked at the dex210. I read and read and talked to people, then decided it was a bad idea. Then a local bought one after he tried the B4.1 and the TLR22, I can say for sure that he lost an entire lap with the dex210, when he was not broken. And he rarely crashes and our track is like racing on pillows. very spongy clay. I have never seen a car fall apart as much as the 210. The dex410r v3, seems to be the opposite and very good though.

Are these the ones you have to modify for the Big Bores that come with the 4.2?

"This is an optional Team Associated Carbon Front Shock Tower, and is intended for use with the Team Associated B4 line of 1/10 scale buggies. This shock tower requires modifications if you are using it with the optional Team Associated 12mm Big Bore Shocks"

Thanks, I'll skip those for now. How does this look besides electronics?

I think the wing mounts are kind of a waste. The carbon parts are a matter of preference. I'd drive with the regular ones for a good while before swapping them out. Also, it depends how you drive. If you're sloppy, you'll break them pretty quickly.

As always, I recommend the RPM front bumper, too.
