Long travel b4?
In the summer I race on very bumpy loose outdoor old school dirt track. Its a blast but 1/10 car set up is tricky. For myself I love to tinker and try things that are different. I have a B5m for indoor and thats where it will stay. For outdoors I was running my vintage mid motor RCC RC10. Now I am trying a B4 for the rear motor weight. I had a thought that I am sure someone has done but thought I would ask. Has anyone put SC10 towers and shocks on a B4 to make a long travel bumpy track car?
Im not looking to do a J82 conversion. Iam talking b4,b4 arms with long shocks and towers off of sc10 or t4. I wonder if it has been done and also if the cvd's bind in the outdrive cause of the added travel.
Thanks

Re: Long travel b4?
I didn't get the CVD's to bind when I had B4 arms mounted together with T4 tower/shocks/wheels in my J82.
In fact that J82-kind-of-buggy was the best handling 2wd buggy/truck I have ever driven.

RC9B4
B4 rear end with T4 tower and shocks. You might need to drill one extra hole to tower and maybe cut one or two outermost off.
I ran rear shock in tower hole 1 and outer hole in arm.

Yes it does, but it isn't. Rear end has only AE parts. B4 arms and CVD's, T4 rear wheels (not JC), T4/SC10 rear shock tower and shocks.
If I switch rear wheel from T4 to B4 on that car, rear end is just what you wanted... and it's working nicely.
