T4 Question

Post by WillyThickfoot »

I`ve been watching ebay for alloy control arms for a T4 and havnt come up with anything.I see lots for the B4 but nothing for mine.Can anyone tell me if none were made for the t4 or are they just hard to find.I have found lots of nice parts but the arms have been a no go!


Thanks,Dave

don't buy those arms, they are crap, you will break the chassis arm mounts in no time and your truck will be heavier, of course it will bling, but that's all folks :wink: instead, try the plastic ones (non composite), they bent or twist a little bit, but at least they don't break as easily

If you're looking for durability get some GT2 RPM front arms. To make the whole front end a lot more durable then switch the whole front end to a GT2 setup. This setup is way better than the stock T4 or FT4, broken a-arms will not happen nearly as much.

I appreciate and understand what you guys are saying but I am looking for the bling .We have a bunch of xxt`s and a couple xx`s that we beat on regularly and I am looking to make a shelf car out of this t4.I got it in trade with some other cars and it is in mint condition and I dont want to mess it up.I think if I ran competitively I would use it but my son and I just beat the hell out of them.Thanks again for all the tips and input guys. :)

i was going to say it has to be for the bling because the graphite arms on my FT T4 are bomb proof!!! I've ran 100's of laps in the last few months at different tracks and raced it in two races and I think this T4 is the best rc car on the market...I havent had to fix or change anything...Highly recommend the T4!!! Oh yeah and won first place this weekend with it in Truck Open 8)

I've never broken anything on my B4 FT for 3 years of racing, they're the best :D
