B74 Advice

[Callum]

Hi all,

I’m in the market for a new 4wd currently running a B6.1 with a B6.2 on order

Would make sense for me to go for the B74 but I’ve read some things about them on another forum that put me off - hard to setup, not easy to drive and a few issues with parts quality out the box?

I’ll be doing my majority of racing on Astro - Mendip Tiverton etc,
Tivvy is fairly low grip and was wondering if anyone has any experience with the car in low grip conditions and what your thoughts were?

All help and opinions appreciated, other than that I will be looking into a XB4....

Cheers Cal

We have run the 74 since it came out and apart from getting the rdrp rack to sort the crazy kit bump steer it has worked well. Only part we have broken is the rear wing mount last weekend at the GP on the big table top

Setup wise the lad had his best National result at boughton with the car using the centre diff and softer roll bars / springs

At the GP last weekend he put it p53 overall out fo a 140 odd which considering it was only our second meeting on carpet with it it worked really well and was easier to drive than his 2wd he reckons !

The car imo works well now we have found some base setups and the ae team have been very helpful at regionals to get the car working for us.

Cracking result well done! Nice to hear some positive things about the car that’s one thing I read on RC tech was about the bump steer, at least there is an alternative rack to cure it...

Hi,


No 100% but I think the bump steer in kit form was only at low ride heights.
(As run on carpet etc.)
