b6.2 arms and gear diff on B4.1
back after a few years of not driving rc cars spare parts for the b4.1/b4.2 has become very hard to get. So I have following questions:
1. Do b6.2 gullwing arms fit on my old b4.1/b4.2? 2. does the new b6.2 gear diff fit the old b4.1/b4.2 diff box? Any help is highly appreciated Thanks, Raimund |

The b4 is imperial yes but the b4.1/2 has metric outdrives.
I’d have to actually try and fit those parts to a b4 to confirm if they fit. I’d say not at first but always worth a shot. |

Ok the arms kinda fit.
The hinge pins are a little slack and you’ll need to shim it out a little in and out. I’m sorry I don’t have a gearbox to try a diff in but to run a b4.2 ball diff in a b6 you need a shim so I would assume it doesn’t fit the other way. |

Great informations and thank you very much Big G for checking in detail! So gullwing arms are the way to go on my old B4.1/2 mixture

Arms aren't in particularly short supply, infact the UK distributor has some in stock
The B6 diff won't fit. (too wide) There's a possibility that the b5 one may, but part supply isn't that plentiful on those either. My advise would be to get some b4 parts for it and keep it original. |

Good morning charlesk, thanks for your advice!
Found a really interesting article at RC10talk. https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=44438 Seems that a guy fitted a b6 gear diff in a b4.1 transmission case. Another person also stated that the dimension of the b4.1 to b6 gear diff didn`t change. So I give it a try |

well, I tried a b6.1 gear diff in my b4.1 and it does not fit! It`s about 1 to 1,5mm to wide. So it`s not a direct replacement!
All the best Raimund |

That would explain why the proper geared diff required a shim of similar size to fit in a b6.
