In-line axles?
 
What will inline axles do for my B4?

Thanks,
James.

Hello James,

It says in the manual: "Changing to the optional inline steering blocks (#9577) will give the car an overall aggresive feeling. Steering entering and exiting the corners is increased, but straight line stability is slightly reduced"

Cheers, Mark.

So less understeer and better turn in then?

I dont know anyone who runs inlines, I think you should try something else first. What caster are you running? If you want a bit more initial turn in try the 30 degree

As far as I know Richard Lowe runs them quite a bit.

I like the overall edgier feel they give the car. If you compensate for them a little with the setup you can make the car very pointy and still safe to drive.

I have some to try, did it years ago on the Losi and really liked the feel.

That may be your best bet then, just give them a try!!! the chap doesn't say why he is thinking of using inlines though, maybe there are other issues?

Hi, I have been using the inline FT set up a long while and does improve the steering and goes well in a straight line and I'm no pro and does'nt feel too harsh even for me, but I would also like to try the different caster hubs to see what the overall difference is.
think theres a spacer on the hub to change somewhere to make it the correct swap to inlines, can someone confirm that??

Thanks for the reply guys, putting 30° caster blocks on has been the best change I've made to the B4, was just asking to see if the inlines would take it another step.

I will give it a go.

Cheers.
