Three cars with the same , all three set a personal best with longer ....
Oyeah ....
Wheres that guy that said the car would handle horrible ?
We(Trcr) are experimenting with a longer car just cus we heard the team driver were too ...
The way we went about only took about thirty minutes to complete .
I am not claiming this is the best way to extend the wheelbase.
But we did go faster with longer tonight , that's the important fact I'm sharing with you guys ....
We
pushed the ft caster hub forward 4 x .030
rear arms back 4 x.030
also
switched to a 84 spur gear to help move the motor back over the rear arms

This has been done to the Kyosho 4wd. They had pictures showing it done. On the rear I dont think it would cause aproblem with the cva binding. I mean take out the cva from the out drive. There seems to be more than enough deviation from straight to accomidate shaving the arm 1/4 inch or so. seems like an easier way to lengthen the car with arms than cutting a chassis.

Nothing new with what we tried , just heard Team drivers are also experimenting with longer chassis, so we are too ...

I run the zero deg. hubs, the .5's add traction but at the cost of steering, which for me meant I had to use more brake and slide the rear to get it to turn, which can get "sketchy" at times. Driver preference really.

The Losi guys years ago were always able to adjust the amount of mechanical bind they had. The sliders had almost none, with dogbones in the middle and cvd's having the most. For a while some of the team guys would run the rtr dogbones to be able to adjust this.

it pushes but you can dail that out with the better front tires, and yes i cant drive a loose car for my life the .5 hubs really make my car

I think SC has already taken over. There are still some tracks that have a strong stadium truck presence though.

I havent done the exact measurements, but it is ever so slightly long. I race tomorrow with a team AE driver and a Team Kyosho Driver, I can try and take spy pics of the B4.1, but I know I can take pics of the RB5 chassis, it is longer maybe 4mm longer, which puts it at almost the same length as the 22. If you look at the AE Team Drivers cars they are the same length as the 22. SO.... whatever the difference is front clip, to back clip on both cars is whats needed to get the correct length for the extended chassis.

There is almost no stadium truck racing here in the NW... the bigger races has some, but we haven't had a regular club class of ST at my track in a few months. Every once in a while we will get 3 or 4... but its usually 0.
