Ran mine at RHR Invernational this weekend. Car was really very good. I however was average at best. Loved driving the car on the superb clay track when the weather allowed. It's getting better as I understand more about what works and what doesn't. Thanks also must go to Rich Lowe who was happy to discuss the car and set ups.

Sorry, not had chance to do a proper sheet. To save time, here's what I did.
Rich Lowes starting astro setup but, gold front spring, 35wt oil front. Rear as before. Diffs 5/100/3k oils. Roll bars removed both ends. Went up to 300k centre and got more drive out onto straight but not so predictable change of direction through the twistys. Ride height was 20mm. Also added a little toe out when the track cut up and got carpeted in places to help settle the transition between surfaces. Any questions just ask. just to be clear, the astro start point was Rich's July 14 starting setup.

Ran today on astro at Broxtowe. Med to high grip level. Car set as Rich's latest astro sheet except 5/300/3 diffs, 35wt front shocks, standard wishbones and no spacers in rear wheels. Car was mega even on worn out spikes it found the grip but didn't get tied in knots. Very easy to drive. Next time out I'll go stiffer front oil(shocks) and space the rears out a mm or so.

That's the truth. Hilarious. He rang us saying he'd got home and unpacked the car but could find his 413!!! A quick call from the pub confirmed it was at the track still and Gord had grabbed it for safe keeping/eBay! Lol. Not often I've seen anyone leave the venue without their car.

Hello,
i had the chance to drive my car today. i have to say the car is really reliable. i was on a 1/5th scale astroturf track with the jumps and bumps everybody expects from such a track. the car handled everything fine. had a few really bad crashes and from memory i would have repaired my old bj4 today a lot. the only thing that failed (after a hard landing) was the spur gear. new parts are ordered and i am looking forward to test the car indoors next friday.

Did the motor move or has something been through it? There are tips around for securing the motor a little better. I followed them from build and mines been perfect from day one.

Make sure the little grub screw in the motor clamp is sitting slightly proud, that way it digs into the motor cam slightly when you tighten the clamp down and definitely won't move |

The Proline caps were just a one-off for Ty. HB have produced some together with new shock stand-offs which are in production and will be available very soon. Tbh I've not had issues with the kit ones. I always remove the standoffs complete with the shocks to prevent weakening of the joints. It's working so far.

I'm currently running the B front tower on the inner/middle hole, I found with the kit tower the inside hole felt a bit soft and the middle a bit firm - the B tower gives a happy medium between the two and seems to work best for me. It's a pretty subtle change and I would think most people will like the kit middle hole best The two optional rear towers are optimised for the different holes in the wishbone. The A tower is narrower/taller and is intended for the inside hole on the arm, the C tower is wider and lower and is for the outer hole on the arm, the kit B tower is half way inbetween the two. Personally I'm using the C tower with the outer hole on the arm in combination with the upper hole for the hingepin on the hub carrier. This gives you the familiar B4 style rear geometry we're all used to after all these years |

I have only had issues with the front shock caps and for this reason i went with the associated b5m shock caps and stand offs.They are a direct fit and i have not had a problem since.
