Yep... trying to center the rotor to the center line of the chassis
I was trying to get my buggy and truck balanced side to side as well as front to rear and came up with this[see pictures]Look closely at the sides the electronics are on.

Now without having to offset the motor or add unneccesary weight to one side, I just have to add 1/4oz. by the radio and it's balanced right down the middle.

What is with the new 4.1 chassis? Didn't know I needed an impact to put the front three top plate screws in. Are people tapping/reaming these out at all?

I had ZERO issues building my kit.

My diff isn't as smooth as I would like, but cerarmics are at the ready.

I have heard two ways to build a diff
  1. ceramic main diff balls with carbide thrust balls per AE recommendations
  2. carbide main diff balls with ceramic thrust balls per BFast/22 crowd.

I tend to think ceramic for both.

I would only cut them where I notice that the trimming was uneven Just so it glues in better.

I'm sure you don't suck That's like saying Travis Amezcua sucks because he makes the B Main at large events!

I just got my B4 a couple weeks ago and haven't bothered throwing any electronics in but when I do I'll let you know how bad all the 22's cry at my track
