d4 worlds anounced
 

pretty much as the title sugests, new d4 worlds edition and it looks spanking :D

http://www.redrc.net/2007/12/hot-bod...worlds-edition

hope the link is ok jimmy ;)

im sure ive seen that slipper system somwhere before :p

You may of gary, i seem to have one very similar on my B44.... (BJ4 Sport as you call it garry)

haha :D. Its been refared to as that " sport version ".

back on track though this d4 looks cool. so this time round they have fitted some proper diff bolts ? not lolly sticks with some little nut ? lol :rolleyes:

damn the shell looks awsome !

Just got mine a 1 month ago and already had the chance to race it - TQ and 2nd position AMain! I really liked the car but I stripped down the front transmission gears - probably wrong shimming and too much traction. Now I used the suggested by the online tips by HB, plus 1x0.1 on each side pushing the gears to get even closer and hopefully I will have no more problems.:cool:

I see some good options on the worlds spec which I really can't wait to fit on, but why the different rear setting with new rear wishbones and anti roll bar? Was this the setting used specifically at the worlds in Japan? The car works great for me as it is. Also I've read about new front wishbones in other posts, but where are they? and the lightweight differential outdrives?

Here is a pick of it!

would the shell and undertray fit a BJ4WE ?

also these arms, sound interesting

thought i would bring this back from the depths...

does anyone know when it is going to be released to joe public?? and at what sort of price?

cheers

its out its called a B44 over here ;) lol

lol

March I think.

G

cheers northy...

mr skelding is probably the man to ask about this, but does anyone know if the new slipper on that 'worlds edition' will fit in a BJ4 WE??

Andy shouldnt you be doing work at school:rolleyes: Haha me neither. lol. What a boring maths lesson. But its ok cos im on oople:D

Off topic a little bit but what speedo is in that car????

just done a quick search for the speedo and found this on red rc

I'll have a D4 WCE at Worksop this weekend if anyone wants a look see.

Adam
when you fit the new slipper, do you need to fit a different prop shaft to the front diff?

Not Adam, but I can answer this one....

Yes, the new slipper uses a shorter front centre propshaft.

Just fitted the new wishbones and wide front bumper to my car this afternoon - looks spot on now:cool:

Do you have a part number for the new front bumper James please?

Hi Paul,

It's HB61430 - Large Front Bumper/Low Wing Mount stay set which retails at £3.99

The same parts tree is also included with the HB61588 Front Sway Bar Set - £14.99 for that

Thank you very much :)

does the prop shaft come with it or whats the part number?

Any news on when the new slipper is due out?

Mark - the new centre front prop is part number HB61578. Not sure if it's included in with the slipper set, i'll try and find out during the week.

Terry - no confirmed due date as yet, but I shouldn't think it'll be too long. Hopefully within the next month. I'll update this when it's been confirmed.

Hi Guys,

I used the the new D4 Worlds parts on my car yesterday and am extremely impressed. The new slipper really does affect the cars performance in a very positive way, bag loads more traction, and a real smoothness... plus it stays exactly how it is set. The new lower wing mount looks really cool too!

Sit tight for when the parts/kits come in, they are well worth the wait!

Just built the new slipper up.

Anyone using the new slipper and running a centre one-way, you will need a shorter propshaft #HB61458, as the one that comes with the slipper won't fit.

Just thought I'd let you all know.

:)

Good skillz Tel! Did Adam forget to send that bit! :lol::lol:

G

Haha, yep.:thumbsup:

No, I ordered the slipper when I got my drive with them but didn't have the centre one-way then. But the one-way came first so I fitted that at the weekend. Never thought of the fact it required a shorter shaft!:eh?:

....and you can do a lot more with a smaller shaft! :lol:

What price will it have
 

Hi Guys,

I'am waiting for the D4 worlds to arrive in the Netherlands. The d4 costs Eur. 390,00 here. What will +/- be the price of the worlds?;)

It might look the same, but it works differently! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Lovely piece of kit :wub:wub

G

Also, if you haven't already found out. In my post above about the propshaft.....ingore it.

I've had every propshaft that they make and so far none fit when running the centre one-way.:thumbdown:

Come on get one made.:lol:

New slipper goes together a treat though. and works really well.

It's all sorted Tel, it's in the car with the 1 way prop! :p:p:p:cool::cool::cool:

How?


Edit - Dont worry....I know.;)

Although I would never have thought of it.....its cost me a bloody fortune buying all those prop shafts.

none of above then?

nope!:p

you dont want one making then

has anyone got a list of part number i need to make my d4 upto worlds spec

upgrade to Worlds Spec
 

Hi

Yes, I would also like to see a list of the parts required to turn my standard D4 into Worlds Spec.

Jeff

In general the items you need are...

HB61587 - Slipper kit
HB61550 - Shock Bodies (f)
HB61551 - Shock Bodies (r)
HB61556 - Spring Adjusters (x2)
HB61552 - Shcok tops with Bleed screws (x2)
HB61588 - Front Wishones, Wing Mount & Bumper kit

Other items included in the W.E. kit are..

HB????? - New Shock towers (Increased strength)
HB????? - New Chassis (with increased clearance for new style brushless motors)
HB61581 & HB61582 - New Ball-Studs (removed the hex in the ball for strength and changed to normal style)

You may also have noticed that the C/F looks different. This is due to a change of source. The quality of the items is still top notch.

For those looking for a complete kit the part number for that is HB61700 :thumbsup:

Think that about covers it all.....

does anyone know if the slipper will fit a BJ4 WE?

thanks
:D

Not sure, but first thing would be the D4 is metric and the BJ is imperial. :confused:
