Difference between B4 Team and Factory Team

[c0sie]

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

[Southwell]

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.

Thanks for that champ, just what I wanted to know

[markwilliamson2001]

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

[josh_smaxx]

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

[c0sie]

Thanks for all your help fellas!
Does anyone have a part number for the non threaded axles at all?

Thanks

i disagree with treaded axels,ive not once had problem,also i feel they hold the wheel on better than the plastic nuts with the rs...

i guess its matter of opinion, if they snap then i will post here again ranting!!!

[josh_smaxx]

They do hold the wheel on alot better but i have snapped i think 4 now, the normal ones are stronger but i done like the plastic nuts.

[Southwell]

Ive snapped one before so i just keep a couple spare. I'd get some spare screws though, losi ones are longer than the ae ones and i haven't had a problem with them, not sure on the part # though.

[martboy21]

part no AS9613 for standard ones

[c0sie]

Thanks for all the help chaps
Gonna get the FT kit, 30' castor blocks, blue front springs, 6.5L, and some lead for the back end lol

[c0sie]

Lads,

Whats the difference between the trailing and inline axles??

Thanks

[Chris Doughty]

use trailing all the time, its not something I have played with, neither have I seen it being used to win anything.

don't concern yourself with it.

I think it just makes the car super twitchy.

Cheers matey

I am not denying it can win, but re-read my post quoted for your convinience

[Richard Lowe]

Hehe fair enough Chris

I use the inlines on my B4 pretty much all the time, I find they make the front end much more positive and consistent. It does react quicker but it only feels to me like removing a washer from the front inner camberlink ballstud.

[Chris Doughty]

I have not had enough time to test them, so I just take the easy option and use whatever Neil uses

[c0sie]

What exactly is the difference though? As far as the actual axle is concerned? They both just look like straight bits of metal to me???
