Will the Losi 22 aluminum servo arm work on my B4.2? I would like to get an aluminum servo arm for it. Someone told me to get a Losi aluminum arm, but I wasn't sure if I should get the standard arm or the Losi 22 arm.

Thanks!!!

There are many things to be done, to reduce high speed steering, it depends what tires, and track surface you are running on. Or are available to you

Thanks for the Reply.

I am running kody's set up. I race at the same track. Car is working great, just the turn in at higher speeds is a little fast for me.

Here is the set up I am running.

You could try a different piston I am running my 1.5 piston it could be the tapered portion of it that causesrat you could also try no anti squat and you could lower your ride height to 20 front and 22 rear thats about what in running I like it but it depends how bumpy/blown out your track gets

I think I need to talk to u about running carpet/sugar/ concret? We are starting a off road indoor carpet track and we have spots that are not covered with carpet yet so we sugared the concrete. I have but loads of rear traction!!!!! And not a lot of front traction.pushes like a dump truck.
We are running bald tires. And I need help I know I got to get rid of the tapered pistons1.6 all round. 20mm ride heigth front /rear 35wt oil front an 32.5 rear stock springs. The c-brace is stock with 2mm and the a tow in the hub. I know that has to be changed to shaved and c-hub. The have a set of green spring ft/rear and I got 1.5 1.6 1.7 taper pistons. The track is smooth!!!!. What do j need to change first??

Well if you have. Too much rear traction my first suggestion would be to go to a 1.5 piston 35wright rewr and 1.5 37.5-40. Weight front mes around with springs put a sway bar on it and see how you like that it should take away rear trsction and give to the rear move your battery forward to try snd slso you can try a. Longer wheel base the mod ubrace and c hub will give you less traction also a shorter resr camber link wil help let me know how that works for you. Make sure to clean your tires with a brake clean lighter fluid or motor spray that doesnt leave a greasy residue and you should be good

so i have a question about the shocks. i run the stock shocks o rings and i rebuild my shocks about once a month and the last 2 times i have built them according to the manual and many other sites i built them correctly emulsion style. I start with 0 rebound which turns into about 1/8 inch between the rod end and the shock body. When i rebuild them they have almost full rebound why? Also does anyone know of any plastic or composite gears that will fit into the gear diff, with some modification?

Emulsion shocks build pressure when they are used. They will need to be bled every few runs if you want to keep them at zero rebound.
