B4 NEED HELP!!

[FURC]

hi guys need help as ive just bought a b4 roller to race with and ive not got a clue really what it needs!! if you lot have got some spares for sale cheap i would love to her from you, eg 5 turn motor, speed control, spec hand set tx rx-

also some tips would be good or spares that i should get for the track-things that go and break easy on the b4! common faults!

i know you guys are great when it comes to this x

First off, 5 turn motor in a B4 is a really bad idea!
All it will do its spin on the spot. Especially on our polished floor.

Your wanting a 8.5/7.5 maximum. Thats what I will be running.

As far as a radio I have a 3VCS for sale with a Spektrum Mod & Receiver
if thats of interest drop me a PM. I can bring it with me.

The B4, is a pretty good all around car, There will be normally a handfull of people running B4/B4.1's along with a few C4.1's. So you will always have spares to hand.

I think the most cost effective way to buy B4 parts is to buy a full car!, You can buy them for £60-£80 2nd hand.

I've got one of these you can have for £30 if you are ok with a stick radio.

so i cant race with stick control-sorry just the side wheel thing-

can you use parts from the 4.1? on the b4? what parts go? turnbuckles i hear go all the time?
you lot got any tips on the b4?

Front wishbones are the main culprits for breaking turnbuckles generally pop off and can be pushed back on however if your turnbuckles keep popping off then you may need to replace the ball cups they're the plastic bits on each end of the turnbuckle. You can use parts off a B4.1 with the exception of the rear chassis plate, geabox case, diff and the outdrive bearings as these are metric on the 4.1 as opposed to the B4 which uses imperial bearings.

Whilst starting out probably best to get some spare wishbones and a spare front bulkhead or two, these are very cheap and quite easily broken by a new racer (myself tbh).
Also some spare screws (all unc) are a good idea body clips etc. and some spare shock cups.
When I started out I crashed alot and these were (still are) the bits I broke or lost the most.

Good luck mate
