B44 arms are more flexible and should give you more traction.

Order of firmness:
B44.1
B4.1
B4 carbon

Curious. I know alot of guys are breaking chassis in the 4.1 plastic (including sc10) It's always at the nose. The only thing on my b4 that isn't 4.1 is the chassis. I'm contemplating trying the 4.1 chassis. Has anyone heard anything about what AE is doing or are they just selling more chassis? I know they added the X mold to the nose but it hasn't stopped the breakage.

I will keep my B4 chassis on my buggy. The only thing that the B4.1 chassis is the elimination of the molding plug on the bottom but I have a Upgrade chassis protector on the way to cover it up.

I would start with 81/24 with the 8.5, should be pretty close.

I'm at 22/81 on my tight indoor track but I've considered going up a tooth, maybe 2 to take away a little low end punch/snap...actually would drop my spur to the 78 before I went up in pinion to keep the motor forward..22/23-78

The b4 chassis is much stiffer than the 4.1. With that much flex the handling characteristics have to be different. Not real worried about the hole

Default B4.1 Weights?

Does anyone run with this weight installed in their B4.1? http://www.losipartshouse.com/servle...Team-B4/Detail

I have seen a few AE guys running with them at WCRC.

I've been running with weight infront of the trans since day 1. It's pretty much used by all. Some prefer a 'light setup' and choose not to though.

You can use stick on weights as well, although the AE ballast weight seems to tidy things up; it also makes it easier to remove if you need to disassemble the rear end.

all depends on which b4 chassis it is, RTR plastic or the Carbon FT one..
RTR and the 4.1 are pretty close.
