Default Difference between B4 Team and Factory Team

Whats the difference between the Team and Factory Team B4 kits?
Is it worth the £50 difference between both kits?
What bits of the FT do you NEED to have...I just wonder if buying a Team would be a better option??

Thanks as always

Front ally brace is the main thing. I would go FT for the shocks as well.
You get full graphite excluding chassis, lightweight outdrives, better shock shafts and some other bits i can't think of. For the bit extra it's definately worth it.

Yeah I would do as Southwell says. You get the ally brace, servo saver spring, threaded shocks, servo mounts and threaded front axles, which I personally think are a major improvement over the kit items.

i thinkk the threaded axles are a lot weaker so i use standard ones. they also have a ballraced steering assembly
just to add a FT kit is definately worth the price difference

I much prefer the threaded axles but they are weak, i snapped one today after landing slightly sideways, superglued it back in though and its all good

isn't the factory team with graphite chassis then? i'm looking for a B4 too, but want the plastic chassis.

Switching froml losi to asso, what parts do you recommend when buying a B4? Spares, options, springs, etc...

thanks for any info!
