i'm loving the new chassis and set up. i should have done it long ago.
i also added the new 2 hole 30 degree castor blocks.

I just posted pics of mine in my gallery thread. I really dig the aluminum chassis I found for it but too bad the place that made them has halted production.

first time out on the track with the +8mm. Felt great through the corners and over all but one jump. I went to green front and rear, which helped, but still having trouble clearing one of the jumps. It either dug into the face of the last jump like a dirt dart, or I would land on the table top and bounce off. Spoke with someone in the shop and they said to wait until hitting the jump before going wide open. Unfortunately, I got that advice after all my gear was packed. Plan on gearing it different so I have more top end to try this technique.

Did some club racing yesterday and I have to say my B4 is dialed in(for me). I was within 1 second of the fastest lap, but I was not consistent and could not keep it between the pipes when it mattered. Once the race was over I was able to keep it on all fours. Need to work out the nerves I guess.

Noticed going around right hand turns my inside tired would lift a little. Going to build a center mount for my ESC and give that a try next time out.

As for my clearing the jumps, I found my bullet connectors were not tight enough. After crimping them I gained a bunch of extra power and was over jumping everything the first couple laps with an 8.5 22/78.
