Also had to notch the shock tower for shock cap clearance after drilling the fourth hole.

Ok, I'm looking for some more on power steering with my buggy...

Running the FT B4.1 kit setup with the following changes...

Front:

-2 Camber
top shock moved to inside

Rear:

-0.5 Camber
2.5 deg toe block with the 0.5 hubs.

Battery is as far forward as possible. No weight has been added.

Suggestions?

u don't need to do that. the inside hole on the b4.1 tower is the drilled "4th" hole on the b4 tower

Can anyone give me any feedback on the B4.1 brushless RTR as a racer? Obviously I'm not expecting it to be a title winning car, but can it hold its own in the right hands? Just looking for a cheap 2wd to run, and the fact it has everything out of the box (motor,esc,radio etc), it a pretty tempting buggy to buy for a bit of fun on the side to my nitro buggy.

Is the motor/esc pretty decent? Any common issues with any of th car?

Its a decent setup to get started (i got the t4.1 RTR kit) the 3300kv motor is about a 13.5t motor and holds its own. I used my setup for about a month before i started upgrading, i still got some decent money selling the stuff because they arent "bad" products

Problem with it is its sensorless and once you drive sensored you will want to upgrade ie-better control of power with sensored

The radio, i never liked the radio... Uses 8 AA so it weighs alot and it sucks the batteries right up. Plus analog adjust is garbage. It gets the job done though

What would a good starting point on gearing (b4.1) for the sidewinder 4600 on a medium size track? I'm just looking to see if i need to pick up any more pinion gears...


Also any servo recommendation's? I dont know what speed and torque to look for.
