It doesn't. Use the strapping tape, acts like steel belting in a full size car tire.

Then what is the point of poking holes in the tires?

I do it to allow the air to escape, but will not prevent ballooning when the tires are at speed.

what brushless motor/esc should i get for a b4.1? i want to ditch the rtr electrics and get one but do not know much about the motors. i know i want a sensored motor but not sure what size and speed control i should get. i do not want a crazy motor and no nothing about boost and timing. just a little better motor and a little more speed but still in the same class of motor.

My new (to me) B4.1 all painted up and ready for action. I got my plus 8 chassis and Finnisher body from RPPhobby.com and they have the chassis conversion kit in stock for $34.99.

The play at my local track is Double Dee's. On the wet track, for a B4, are there any other tires that people are digging besides Holeshots or Double Dee's? I was thinking in the direction of something with a "hair" more forward bite. What would be the very next tire in that direction? Any brand.

Is your track loose on the surface? Double Dees provide a little too much traction for my liking at my local track, and even work well on some of the harder packed outdoor tracks around here. The next step up in JC's line is the Flipout and then the Goosebump. I find the double dee or holeshots to be more consistent though.

Default nose down

Need a little help. I am not much of offroad guy I spend my time onroad track.

B4 buggy has extreme nose down attitude. It makes it very difficult to time jumps. The larger or faster the approach to the jump the worse it nose down.I tried moving and adding weight and seems to not make much of a difference.

I was thinking it was my poor technique but let some more experienced drivers test my car. The car did jump a little better when they drove it but still had a nose down attitude.

Looking for a couple things to try to change or check to help with more level jumping attitude

I had a very similar problem and everyone I asked said it was all about throttle control. This is true but I knew it was not the case because my B4 used to jump just fine. I tried everything (weight distribution, shock springs, drag brake, etc.) what it finally was is a new wing I put on. I always ran JConcepts wings and for some reason switched to a PL wing. Long story short, try a different wing that is not trimmed as much in the back
