B4 2009, what mods are you doing?
 

Hi Guys, Im just about to build up a B4 as iv got enough spares to build one. (still going to run the X6)

I was wondering what mods etc they were doing for the 09 season?

I am thinking:

-Non graphite chassis, there is only 2 right? carbon and composite? I am thinking the AS9560 composite is the one cragg etc use?

- ghea brass bulk head and rear toe in block 3.5 or 4 degree?

- J Concepts shell

- Strip of lead under lipo, or brass batt strap?

- White ball links? or shall I put black ones on it?

- iv read about using black ball joints on the steering rack for different bump steer? has any one tried this out? I read it on the ae forum

let me know what mods your doing to the B4 for 09,pics of your rides would be good! :thumbsup:

Slim carbon fibre chassis is the mod ill be running on the B4 :thumbsup:

The '09 version comes standard with plastic chassis and i think thats what most people run.

As for mod's I've only put some lead in it and changed the ballcups to RPM ones. (just for looks though:))


Anyway here's mine:

FT blue shock bushings

Blue FT 4-40 nuts on all ball joints

Nice car there Thom!

What is the rear toe in block (part number ?) ?

Where can I find info on rear toe-in of B4 ? What is the stock toe-in ?
The b4 manual treats every subject except that one. Is it taboo ?

The rear blocks are on http://www.rymartracing.co.uk/page_1227178049729.html

Very Nice!! :thumbsup:

What about the stock b4 toe-in ? Is it 3, 4, 5...? degrees

3° on each wheel...:)

The full 3degrees into the rear brace ? Is that correct

i.e. 9584 are 0degrees rear hub carrier

Yes, they are on the rear brace, in front of the arms. Stock hubs are 0.
