Hey guys! I'll be running my B4.2 on a medium sized indoor track. I'm going to run a 13.5 motor on it. What would be a good start on gearing for it?

The track is more technical with smaller jumps.

Thanks in advance for your help!

All of the small diameter drill bits that I break, gets used in my Dremel. Drill bits chucked in a Dremel makes a great cutting tool for plastic!

I haven't cut the holes in my chassis yet, but I'm sure I'll use a Dremel with an old broken drill bit to slot it out for the plugs to go through.

will need to add 2mm spacers if using 12 mm shock & old b4 tower.

check out the info for installing the 12mm shock on www.rc10.com

People say the parts wear out a lot faster is it true, and what if you use it in a mod vehicle?

Not sure why people keep saying $90 for the Pucks system...MSRP maybe? AMain has it at $68...which still isn't cheap but it isn't $90 either.

It's not for mod racing...don't use it in a mod car, the mod car has plenty of power to spin up the drivetrain, the 17.5 being "power limited" gains a benefit from the lighter drivetrain.

I wonder if you HAVE to use their "grooved" thrust washers in the diff?
