The new worlds car is nice. I have a b4.1 that I've been updating over time and has pretty much ended up the worlds car with 0.5 degree rear hubs instead of the new 0 degree hubs. (And I went with a finnisher as well)

I wonder if the 4.1 worlds car will eventually end up a collectable like the 93 worlds car is.

I keep going round and round with upgrading. I have a B4 that initially was upgraded to FT from the start. then i made a couple mods, and added the 4th hole to the tower to make it work with the lighter lipo setups. I ordered the new 8mm chassis, but haven't installed it yet.

Cost wise, given what i would need, I figured I might luck out and find a used 4.1 WE roller for cheap. In addition to upgrading to the B44.1 version as well. Now that I want to get back into racing, I realize I need to catch up with the current trends. Sadly, with little free time, I would ultimately love to build a kit or 2.


Rumor from my friend at AE, might see a B5 this summer....

WHAT? SEE IF HE CAN GET YOU SOME SPY PICS...

I've heard associated is working on some big bore shocks, but I haven't heard that a new car is that close.

New car by early summer, and they better be working on some new shocks- they are the only ones without them.

I'm guessing they will be like the ones on the FT SC10 4wd

How does a regular B4 body fit on the +8 chassis?

the BullDog is gross, and the JC finisher body is just as foul in my opinion.

the JC punisher is okay, but still, make something low and swoopy!

It fits OK with some velcro but up close you can see its not quite right. My punisher needed some trimming to keep the front from stretching out. 8mm isn't much, but enough that you'd be better off with a long body. I'm sure more will become available.

I read somewhere over at rctech that Associated was working on the big bore shocks to be released in spring. By a poster who supposedly works for AE although same person stated that a new car was not in the works. Who knows.

I was wrong i got the punisher body!

i really like the punisher, thats what i run on my "shorty b4". not nearly as weird as the bulldog.

Here she is ready for her first outing for practice tommorow at the track. Cant wait to run it as its been along time since i ran on a track except a few laps with my sons last truck.

Looks great! Good luck.

What servo are you using Mike?

Im using the Hitec 5625MG
