the diff must be too loose. fully tighten the bolt, then back off 1/8 of a turn. stick some allen wrenches in the outdrives and try and turn the spur gear. if the diff is set correctly, the spur gear should slip before the top shaft spins. loosen the slipper nut till its flush with the end of the top shaft thread. then re-try the wheelie test. it shouldn't lift at all now, and you should hear the slipper "slip" and no "barking" from the diff. tighten the slipper in 1/2 turn increments until you can lift the front tires an inch or so off the table, when you stab the throttle. then you're good to go 
Thank you sir for your help. It's been a long time since I've built one and I'm little careful with how tight things should be. Guessing I was a little too careful.

2S Lipo
Can anyone suggest a place that I can purchase a 2S hard case lipo for 59-69$ for my B4.1. My LHS has been out of stock for three weeks and amain is out of stock of there brand in that price range. If I have to go up to the 79+ range so be it, but I would like to save some bread for tires and practice time.

They're still only one of the few companies that actually send out parts without requiring the defective parts to be shipped to them. This happens with *every* new kit because every kit is packed by humans. Try to imagine what it was like when you had to mail in a paper order form and wait for the entire order to be processed by hand and then shipped out. Patience is a virtue...

Their are many differences. But if your just trying to change over to the 4.1 trans. From what I have gathered and ordered. I went on Ebay and just bought a whole new one including the new t-plate. 40 bucks. Gonna start with 3000wt diff oil. But for every little detail that they changed around as many have said before its just as easy to spend 100 bucks more for a complete kit! As for me I went the cheaper hopefully easier way!
