4B1and 4B2 Compatibly?

Post by ChetPunisher »

I was wondering if I could upgrade the front of my 4B1 to use the 4B2 front end? Has anyone else done that?

What in the world is a 4b1 and 4b2?

Wow Mr. I'm impressed by your internationalism.


I'm guessing he might mean B4.1 and B4.2

Rough crowd. I’ll get my crosscut saw out and fix this.

Sorry


I have a RC104B.1 Factory Team. I was wondering if the 4B.2 front end would be compatible.

Sorry for the sloppy original post

If it makes you feel better, our 2x4’s haven’t measured 2x4 since around the 50’s

Totally makes sense now. I was racking my brain trying to figure out what you had. I have to bow out now though, as the B4 is a bit new for my knowledge base

Most of the parts from the Team Associated RC10B4 line up including the B4, B4.1, B4.2, and B4.3 are interchangeable. Most of the front end only had small changes. The biggest imo of the front was the spindle / axle setup. Earlier buggies had bearings in the front wheels where the last ones has bearings in the spindle and used a 12mm hex on the axle for the wheels to bolt to.

You wouldn't need to change everything. Just the axle's, spindle's, c hub's, and the hardware. The shocks, tower, arms, and bulkhead wouldn't need to be swapped as there are minor differences if any.
