so how does it drive??

AWSOME!!!! this thing soaks up everything... and since its super wide its uber stable...its a blast to drive..

- with b3 wheels its F/R track width is a bit wider than a b4.

_ Ive got about 15 hours logged on it now, time to put it on the shelf before i wear out all the parts!!!

Horrendous, you should throw that thing away!!!!

PS: Before you throw it way, give me your full address.....

That thing looks awesome, kinda freakish looking, but awesome....

freekish is a good name for it !!!

the arms on it are 3/16 longer than rpm worlds........

Very cool project! I was seriously pondering the idea of putting B3 arms on my A&L build and you beat me to it .....

Good job on it!

Me likey a lot!! How much wider is the suspension over the B4? Also, are the rear arms not at wide as the 10t arms?

the rear arms are shorter than standard 10t
i dont have a b4 to measure off of, i had met a guy at the track, and we compared then.

A B4 should be max 250mm wide per IFMAR/ROAR rules.

Great build. I've been rethinking what to do with the 10T on my workbench. This has been helpful. Thanks!

edit 150?

well i guess this car wont pass that measurement!!

it should be 250 not 150 mm , but, yes, you're out.

Still a cool project and I'd like to see one of those many action shots you gathered during all those hours!

with b4 wheels it will fit in the box.........

to nice of a chassis to beat up. even with the worlds rear end it is still a real worlds car chassis. i understand though, gotta run something can't have everything on the shelf!!
