Heh. Despite the body making it look like the B4 is really happy to see me it's still a neat build. :wink:

Dang I can't beleive I missed this thread until now. Yep I will be doing this to my B4 as well, it drives well as is. Worst case scenario, I don't like it and I will put my old chassis back on. I look forward to hearing what your thoughts are Reg.

Well, inspired by this thread I decided to builld my own LWB "narrow" for an upcomming invite race. Large outdoor track -shared with 1/8th scales so the car should be better than a +8 car (fingers crossed) on the more open, fast and potentially rutted surface. I should be able to test before the race. I will let everyone know my thoughts when done.

Very clean work Jeff! Crazy how different it feels when you flex it. I'm hunting for a track to test mine as my local track closed again, and despite promises to find another location ASAP and be running soon.....I also found the owner selling the mylaps system on rctech :| doesn't sound like a new location is being sought after :lol: The Harris family might have to put me up tor testing soon

Reg, the only thing I haven't considered (yet) is driving up there and picking you up. My wife has a new Camaro SS so that could be an option too! I figure roundtrip from Orlando should be about 4 hours in the Camaro.

Seriously though, drive (or fly) down here and test with us! We have unlimited access to the indoor track at SCRC www.spacecoastrc.com. You have a place to stay, food, transportation to and from the track, tires, parts and anything else you could want or need. How much better does it get??? Come down for the Supercup race on the 29th and you can hang with me, Jeremy, Ruffy, Ruona, JR Mitch, Paul Wynn and a bunch of other guys. This is like the R/C silver platter!!!!!

Fail- she went bananas at my suggestion. Apparently there was simething else she had in mind for that weekend that she mentioned 6 months ago at 4:15 am in her sleep.......I'm going to try for a few more days though

Oh come on Reg..... she can get mad and all that but if you brought her back a Disney t-shirt or something she would get happy again. Besides, you'd be sneaking out in the early morning hours before she even knew you were gone!! If you can't grab the jar with your testicles on the way out I'll loan you one of mine while you're here :)

Or, you could bring her with you!!! There's plenty of shopping here for her.
