Plus all I do to run it at an outdoor dirt track is give it a degree of toe out in the front and different tires and it turns with no problem on power.

Maybe b4.1L or worlds edition or something on those lines.

what weights does cav use in the rear triangles? the 1/4oz weights don't really fit well into those rear triangles, and these are obviously different.

The 1/4 oz weights I use look identical to those.

sorry, what I should have said is that the 1/4oz associated weights don't fit very well back there:

and those don't look like what cav is using...so what brand does he/you use or where can I find those? thanks.

I was looking at some pictures of the Worlds coverage and noticed that Ryan Cavalieri runs a plastic hinge brace. Why is that? I was really excited because that is part the rtr and that is what I have.

Those are the older style that Associated sold a few years ago, i really dont like the newer ones either. Luckily i was able to scrounge up some of the older ones and treat them like gold. I have not been able to find anything that fits as good as the old ones.

I heard that you are less likely to break an a arm with one of those... but I still run the aluminum (havent broken to many arms lately)

plastic brace is use to gain extra steering due to its ability to flex more...

They(Team Drivers) also are trimming the dimple off the ft bulk head & installing a larger screw , not sure what size screw ....

Todays project, took me 2 1/2 hrs including Taco's from the bus ...


What you need to do ...

1 new T-4 Chassis
1 old broken B-4 chassis or T-4 , Sc10
Dremel with a cut off wheel
a set of caliper's
1 piece of 150G sandpaper
Tire glue
1/4 masking tape
1 pro-line bull dog body (it fits)


Directions


#1 find the two find straight lines going across under the middle of chassis ....


lay a strip of 1/4 masking lap on the outside of the most forward line in the middle of chassis ...


measure from the tape towards the rear of the chassis 11.1m & mark


lay a 2nd piece of 1/4 masking tape on the line you just mark...

cut chassis in half in the middle of the two lines of tape with cut-off wheel.



use the cut-off wheel and sandpaper to grind the extra plastic right to the edge of the tape.



cut the straight sides off of old broken chassis to make L braces & glue all together as seen in pictures below




Very strong & stiff , you will not be able to break it by hand even if you try too.....


Chassis will be 8m longer than the standard B-4 chassis as reported being use by the team at Worlds....


Excuse the hack job craftsmanship...

Wow...that looks horrible.

beauty is always in the eye of the beholder

car is smoother , more stability in turns & at speed....

I get that...but it looks like a complete hack job. Mine took less than 2 hours and came out loads better. Use enough glue?

lets see it ...

I would be glad to post a pic tomorrow, im at work right now.
