All,
I've come across a B4.1 roller with servo for a good price. I've been playing around with a Traxxas Bandit and have been having fun with it but I'm considering selling it to build up the B4.1. Would the B4.1 be as good a basher as the Bandit?...
Last post
I agree, the B4 is a great car and if parts were readily available I'd say sure....but given parts are so rare at this point I wouldn't bash with one too hard, better off running a car that has parts.
So i was offered a 'clubmans' team drive for TeamC through their UK distributer 'SMD' run by none other than Jamie Booth :D
At my local club (who race indoors on Astroturf) it is apparent that up & coming 'car of the moment' to own is the TM2,...

Dan yeah I saw your message. I can't believe how long that thing is. 292mm is the extreme ROAR limit. That's 11-1/2 . I've never seen a car that long that didn't have a full party of people in the back!
Finishing up this beast. Slightly rearranged slash 2wd with a modified version of our Factory Works chassis. The motor in the car currently is a no name 3.5t and is pretty weak. I’ll update once the Maclan drag pack motor arrives...

That makes sense, so it acts like a chassis stiffener to keep the front tires planted. I never would've thought of that. :lol:
I recently picked up one of these 1/18-scale RC crawlers for my daughter. I'm not sure if she'll be into RC so I wanted to start off with something inexpensive, mod it as much as I could, and see how it ends up. These crawlers are all over eBay and...

EDIT: Redpixel, I found another seller with the correct springs, available in both 35mm and 40mm:
These are just spring steel, not stainless...but I just did a search for 0.8mm spring 13mm and...
Picked up a DR10 and as many already know- the stock 3300kv system is weak sauce. I had a couple motors to play with but nothing crazy. Hottest was a 7.5t Track Star. I didn’t think it would be enough so I ordered a cheap 3.5t Surpass to play with...

Heres a 6 minute video from the event.... (may be some bad language)
So I have my B4.1 and was looking at getting new wheels/tires and seems like I can't find any factory bearing wheels, and insult to injury is the hex conversion is near impossible to find also (saw one pair of axles on ebay for $30)
anyone have any...
Last post
found a shop in canada that had some of the hex axles in stock so ordered those, now just need the rest of the parts for the conversion.

I'm looking to run 1 tx for b4 and t4(s) w/ multi receivers. Have an old airtronics m8 that I really like w/ 92836 rx, and looking to add Novak Electronics Switch Synthesized FM Module w/ XXTRA Receiver(s). Or looking to get a Futaba 3pv S-FHSS...
I am not able to find the stock clutch 4 shoes. The engine is the .45 engine. Has anyone tried to use the 3 clutch shoes from the other MGT trucks? Now that my Losi is running great I would like to get the MGT 8 up and running also
So I repacked the clutch with Hot Racing Losi Aftershock LST Aluminum Bi Directional Clutch LST1100XH08
Now I can not get the idle low enough to stop the wheels from spinning. It seems like it needs stiffer clutch springs. I can toss the truck and...
Last post
It did break right at the loop. I will try to flatten and make another loop. I reinstalled a spare stock set for now. It runs perfect. Now if only I could find a set of clutch shoes for my MGT 8.0 and all my trucks would be up and running. Thanks...
Was given a used t4 today.I am a buggy guy...but it's in such good shape..it's hard to not go over it and make it a runner.
It has no body and I am having a hard time finding info on what (if any) available bodies
fit it.
Can someone point me in...

Hey...sorry I was having log in issues.
Standard stadium truck body.
Nothing crazy modern...just something that fits the chassis mounts well.
It may all be a moot point though because I lost the right rear body/wing mount and I am not paying $25+...
My Kyosho EP Ultima RB Type-R, last time I ran it at OCRC was back around 2010-2012. I originally bought it back in Dallas, TX somewhere between 2001-2002. It currently has a Trinity P2K Pro 27T Stock brushed motor with a 22T pinion, some off brand...

Very nice car! 8)
I've only recently discovered the RB type R and was struck by how much it resembles a B3.
I've always thought of Kyosho as an innovator but they seemed to have copied a competitor's design in this instance.
That said, the RB is a...
Going to get my SMR B4 ready to rock for the last meeting at maritime as this was where it had its debut, will try and drag the designer/builder Scott out of retirement with his car
I know some of this is speculative and also the current virus has prob changed plans but wanted to know what people thought was the roadmap for the 6.2....thinking of getting one but if its basically being replaced soon I will hold off....

As mentioned above the B6.2 and B6.2D came out in February 2020.

Hi guys.
I'm wondering if anyone can help. I've recently got a kyosho inferno neo with a gx21 engine in it. The pull start is faulty so need a new one but for love nor money I cannot find one. Does anyone have any ideas to where I can get one from...

What's wrong with the pull start? Is it repairable?
I put new clutch shoes in my losi aftershock. It ran great for about a minute then rolled to a stop while the engine kept running. I did notice it did not shift into second and now the spur gears spin freely. The slipper clutch is tight.

I came across an ad for one of these, followed the info onto a few forums, Amazon reviews, etc. and the consensus seemed to be it was an amazing, fast boat. I'd been hesitant to venture into RC boats due to the cost. When you found...

Thanks for joining the forum and for your advice, SJFE! The main reason I painted the hull was because I wanted to get rid of the raised logos and markings embossed on the bottom of the hull. I figured sanding those off and repainting could only...
Back in 1999 I bought a Pro2. I used it for years and after buying a couple of X-ray T1's I figured I didn't need it anymore and sold it on to my neighbor. I regretted selling it ever since. I have a ton of HPI bodies and other RS4 chassis and I...

Thanks! Not much to it actually. I've just re-purposed a couple discarded margarine tubs, cut them to fit and painted them black using ordinary rattle can paint. I got the idea from other crawler builds posted on the web. The tubs are durable yet...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and stumbled onto the site because I have my original '87 model Associated RC10 (A type) that my son and I pulled out of the closet a few weeks back, bashed for a while, and lost one of the parts along the way. I quickly...

Not sure on the offset, the rims I mounted were not Associated (think they were advertised as fitting Traxxas). Looking at similar items that I purchased on ebay states the offset is 6mm. I can's speak to shocks and oil, I literally just mounted the...
It’s time to replace my primary basher, a 1/10 E-Revo Brushless Edition, and I’m looking for some tips. I’ve been leaning towards the XMaxx, and I wanted to start a discussion that includes all of the Traxxas haters who I always see trashing these...

Very interesting...that Kraton ... checking out some comparison videos now...definitely seems aimed at the same audience. There's some conflicting opinions on durability but this one's definitely worth a closer look. I may even shop around for a...
I believe its time for me to do a B4 build thread... I've had a few B4's and a T4 for a while now, then I traded a B4.2 for some radio gear and a few Tamiyas for 2 more complete cars and a load of spares. So now I have this mountain of parts that I...

Next up is a B4.1 - this is also a Factory Team car and one of the B4's I swapped for some Tamiyas that I no longer needed. This car came in a collection of 3 with one having a broken chassis and also a whole load of parts. The Factory Team 4.1...

So this is what i've been up to lately. It's an ongoing build and next up is window trim and interior.
It has developed into a complete garage over time.
To add more detail to the crawler i have stripped a Universal Hobbies diecast defender 90.
I recently got back into the RC scene and pulled my RC10T4 out of storage. I noticed the SC10 comes with a waterproof receiver box (part #9877). Does this work on a RC10T4? I'd like to put one in to protect my receiver from water during bashing...
Last post
The T4 chassis and parts have evolved over the long production run of the T4. The T4.1 and T4.2 might have provisions molded into the chassis to fit the receiver box whereas the original T4 does not, hence why they say it only fits the .1 and .2...
The nut that holds the rear wheel on my XXX CR is coming loose. I believe it is a 3/8 in nut. I tried to use a regular socket on it, but there is very little clearance between the nut and the recessed hole in the wheel where the nut...
Last post
The wheels on your XXXcr must be different from stock Losi wheels because they should be smooth dished wheels. The Losi nuts are larger than Associated and other popular brands. If you can find the right wheels you shouldn't have a problem.
What is the best chassis for street stock or bomber dirt oval racing and why? I have a World's car that I'm not using, but I also have the potential to buy a NIB B5 for $165. It seems like the B4 has the most aftermarket parts for oval racing...
Last post
If it’s the new worlds car, you already have the top shaft to run the modern spurs. You can make an RC10 run with the B4s! Since you picked up the new car, I’d say pick up some factory works or similar towers to mount the big bore shocks!
Everyone having a super frustrating time with my recently acquired T 4.1. If anybody saw my T3 thread it's the same problem only much more pronounced in frustrating. The truck is a team truck with hard anodized shocks recently put on threaded bodies...

I would say it's mainly a throttle control thing, or ESC/ radio settings.......

This is where that thermometer will be important. As a general rule, gearing too low, will cause the esc to be hotter and gearing too high will cause the motor to be hotter. Also neither offers the best performance. I gear most of mine for max speed...

Not too bad, but I've only run it on 2s in the street...too cold here and I don't own a 3s.

Front wheel wells are cut further forward because the camber link is so far forward. If you didn't cut them for clearance they would bind and hit the body as the suspension compresses. Mine are all cut too.
My sons runner not quite finished, waiting on the electronics, he accidentally put positive in the neg slot and blew it up,whoops. I think i want to put a 10t body on it, motor is just mock to set shocks
