I'm considering a new truck but am torn between the T4.1 FT and the new Kyosho RT5. I've always loved AE for their simplicity and parts availability, but I have heard really good things about the RT5, Anyone have experience with both who can tell me some pros and cons from the 2? you guys are always helpful Thanks....

Hi all,
Can anyone explain me, if the gear differential of the B4.1 RTR also works in the B4.1FT?
I heard that the drivers of the normal B4 version had to change something, for putting in the SC10 geardifferential...
thanks for the answers,

I had a couple of my shock caps have some flashing on them that cut the o-ring. I took some sand paper and coned the inside edge of the cap where the cap tightens against the o-ring. This also seems to help keep the o-ring from twisting and getting pinched.

A couple things to consider on the RT5 - the ballstuds and cups are larger and they hold up very well.. that said, good luck finding a replacement somewhere in a pinch. And the alum rear hubs are considered a required upgrade by most, which is going to add another 40 to your buy in cost.
On the positive side, the quick change hubs / wheels all around is a very nice feature, and the shocks are great. The new AE v2s are nice and all, but I still find the Kyosho shocks to be best in class..
With the T4.1, build it with better ballcups and you're pretty much ready to roll. For me, I don't want to carry an entire kit worth of parts around all the time, and I felt I had to do that with the RT5, where with the AE my odds of getting something trackside (even if its from another racer) are far better. The last thing I want to do is travel a few hours for a race and get hosed by a 3 dollar part

Feel free to drop me a PM if I can help with anything else.

My personal opinion, I rate the two trucks pretty much even on the track. I've run the RT5 since it's release, and have switched to running the T4.1 over the last few races for a couple of reasons; but the biggest by far is parts availability. I'm not hard on equipment by any means, and I break very little but it's been challenging to get even small parts on some occasions, and the chances of picking something up in a hobby shop (at least near me) are non-existent.
