Some short update.. i have no pics yet, but it will come. Friday between 12-18:00 2wd/4wd time practice..you got 3 packs, on a track that was real hard to drive on, you could NOT have a spec setup, since the layout was so varius(diffrent) so something between for the whole track...rain,rain..the track was sometimes wet,sometimes moist..REAL BUMPY...very hard to drive...

Sunday, the final race day was 4wd...Practice 2 times, but HEAVY,HEAVY rain...skiped the 2 pr rounds since the track was almost under water ..the people that aranged this,was real good, they took of te most of the water...we skied the first qual of 4, i manged to qual in to A final as number 7, my first REAL race, first race with my new S4..the car in my opinion went so much better over every bumbs of the track then the other cars, like XX4,BJ4 etc... could run it so much higher and that was the trick..no ROLL at all...the guys in this final was the ace in sweden

i did 7 and 6 in A final leg 1 and 2...the 3rd final round, i crached..my mistake..but my goal was to run the whole race without this crach,but a A final with this competition...im happy..the car was the trick!! most of the eople said that the S4 was somuch smoother then any other car...

Jonathan, whenwill the S2 be ready ?

Your spot on, look at the before and after pictures. The radio active shells have disintergrated almost everything and just left a few random suspension and gearbox parts LOLOL

Have you checked the back section of the manual of your 'donor' BJ4? I'd save me some typing....

There are 2 sets of anti squat blocks available for the BJ4. R 0 3 which gives 0 degrees anti squat and 3 degrees toe in and R 2 3 which gives 2 degrees anti squat and 3 degrees toe in.

If you add shims under the front or rear of these blocks you can alter the anti squat and/or the height of the hinge pin.

If you are just changing the arm thomas, you can just remove the rear suspension block and slide off the arm.

But its not a problem to drill a small hole in the tub wall, so you can use a allen key to undo the grub screw.
