I'm not interested in the b44.2 avid chassis but a chassis for the b4.2 grabs my attention.

I was about to take a pic but he requested not to and I respected his request. it is very unique in design and he or someone like rcinsider will probably post a pic on their respective sites. liverc will probably get a pic at worlds their good at pointing their lenses. lol

I actually like the b4 a little heavier and wonder if the weight down low will be good. but yeah for 17.5 it might be too heavy

Or spend more money there! I've worked at two hobby shops and they really rely on local crowds! Although i heard wcrc was a family thing

I ask about that and he said that carbon would be too stiff and would be too expensive to mold something that had the kickup in the front. the aluminum isnt bad, its actually pretty light.

Hello guys,

Is using ESC shelf will help on low traction track as it give more roll? And some suggestion for setup will be great.

The car was great but i need a bit more rear traction on throttle. The track is dry, has low traction with very thick dust (rooster tail on throttle ) and hard packed dusty on some areas, also bumpy.

This is my setup changes from box setup:
Rear:
AE Black Spring
30 wt with 1.7mm piston
-1 deg. of camber
2mm washer in inner camber link (unshaved brace)
3.5 deg of inboard toe (haven't got the 0.5 deg hub)
short wheel base
5g of weight each on rear pod
20g of weight on receiver side
24/81 gearing (running a 8.5t)
battery all the way back (full size pack)
Sweep square armor tires

Front:
0 deg of camber
1mm washer in inner camber link
20g of weight under servo (I'm using short servo)
VP pro square ribs tires with closed cell inserts

Thanks
