yes sir thats why im scramblin here... might have bodies down in time, if not i still have by skip gear bodys he did for mt b4/t4 protypes!...
whatbout u big dady u get ur kit i yet

Not to be rude...but what the heck did you just say?

AE sends me stuff all the time.

But for some reason they always send it to a hobby shop first and then I get it.

It's the same in every type of racing, the drivers that are supported directly by the factory always have the new stuff first. It's their J O B to test and come up with new things to make the car/truck faster. It's not our job because we're not skilled enough to do it. Make sense.....

According to the AE info (from their blank pistons) the #2 piston uses a #55 hole. Typically when you drill a piston hole it has a little more damping than a molded hole... Im not sure if he was after a tiny bit more pack but Id say he started off with a blank piston (or a #3) and drilled it out.

Maybe someone from the team can confirm??

I noticed that Cragg used a #3 Ghea piston, so I think the team were trying for a bit more pack for the big jumps.

The 2.5deg rear toe-in was a surprise, as from the guys I talked to who attended the worlds, it was a low grip surface. Maybe it helped the cars rotate through the esses more smoothly?

Looking forward to testing my B4+8mm soon...

Good! I had an uneasy, queasy feeling running TLR wheels on the rear.

Thanks Ray, I appreciate the info. I noticed Cragg's setup too. What does he mean Ghea piston? Is that a brand name?

For those that dont want to spend the money on a new chassis, here is another option. I've tested it at a technical and busy( lots of kids ) track with no issues other than a broken hinge pin after clipping a pipe ( it was a drill blank from work and NOT an AE hinge pin). Compared to the last time I ran it, cornering seems a bit improved and the car jumps alot better. This modification lengthens the wheelbase by 6mm yet retains the stock body and chassis. By doing this the weight is moved closer to the center of the chassis. I've never been a big fan of a motor hanging off the back, but then again, I'm only an armchair engineer that doesn't follow trends and can't leave anything alone.

This was something I did rather quickly the other day before hitting the track. I will be making some spacers to more accurately set the wheelbase.

Ghea is a Swedish machine shop that makes RC racing accessories. The pistons are tapered and range in sizes from 1-4.

Thanks

b4.1 is pushing, I have tried everything, orange kyosho springs front, black kyosho rear, short front link no spacers, rear link 1 spacer, 1deg camber front, .5 back, 3 deg toe in center w/.5 hubs, 2deg anti squat, 32.5 w/#2pistions front, 30w #2p rear. upper shocks all the way to inside, lower front outside, rear inside. 3 internal shock limiters front , 2 rear, m4 scrubs aka foams(red) front JC rips 1/4 oz in front, 17G FT lipo block with 3/4 oz across the backside of the battery 1/4 oz on the rear triangles

track is indoor, wet clay/ dust, smooth/bumpy med traction

WHY IS MY CAR PUSHING, it will push high speed entering corners slow speed tight corners...

thanks!

How about hex wheels for the T4.1???

Hey guy heres a chart use... just click the link below...
Also noticed that Losi piston are different from Ae pistons are that losi pistons are rounded, aswith AE pistion it forif a flat striaght edge cut! Losi also has this piston that came out there are a predrilled 3 an 4 hole xxx style shock piston... there black u get 2 of each per pack part number losa5074
