I recent bought a B4.1 RTR with Lipo and had no idea how fast it would be. It's difficult to control so I thought about widening the a arms. I thought it might give be better traction and was wondering if anyone has done this. What the advantage/disadvantages would be. Any input would be much appreciated.

the b4 is a very well balanced car, practice my friend.

it will be a pig with t4 arms on it.

remember, you don't have to be full throttle all the time.

yep, same here... the b4 is a very forgiving car to drive in its category, but it s still a 2wd and requires sensible driving to get the most out of it... slow is fast.

Also make sure you do proper maintenance to it... ill-handling cars usually have some kind of wear/maintenance issues. also make sure yiu use the right tiresmfor where you are driving it. ou can also take it to the local track and as one of the local hotahots to test drive it for you and the might be able to point you to the right direction in terms of corrective action

good luck!

Thanks for the input. I assumed full throttle was the only way to run, i guess ill have to slow it down til i get the hang of it. Thx again
