I'm happy to live in the US, but some of the stuff I hear from other Americans makes me cringe (not just regarding R/C). As has been pointed out, it's usually the people who haven't spent any time...

let's be fair

It's not just the US that races on dirt, it's the rest of the world. For all the speculating and complaining about US drivers wanting it their way, wouldn't a worlds on astro really just be to make...

host schedule

Chazz made some good points. The expected level of participation needs to be considered when deciding where to hold these events. I don't agree that half of all world championships should be in the...

This comment is not directed specifically at Ansmann, just at the copying discussion in general. When a company produces their own parts that are just copies, it is far worse than using original...

The transmission housings are TC3/TC4 housings, but the bottom halves have been modified (both front and rear). The legs are shorter (plus angled in the front), and some extra material around the...

TC4 outdrives will not work. The kit comes with NTC3 outdrives, but B44 outdrives will also work. If you go with B44 outdrives, you will need to replace the diff rings too. You will probably need to...

But Roger, do you think it's possible to get the weight distribution right without a Kyosho label on the box?

Follow Kenny's advice, and make sure you don't bottom out the t-nut in the outdrive. For some time now, we have seen a lot of variation in the Associated springs. The adjustment screw may be tight,...

There are a few drivers here in Florida who have gone back to the original BJ4 chassis layout (but keeping the other updates from the BJ4WE) with LiPo stick packs. Because the LiPo packs are so much...

That is true for the chassis layout, but the suspension geometry is an exact copy of the BJ4. The Tamiya prototypes actually used entire BJ4 suspension assemblies, CVDs, body, etc.

You wouldn't have to get into this debate again if you weren't trolling the internet, slamming the BJ4 and its "clones" everywhere you go. Stick to promoting your car with its own merits, rather than...

I didn't forget about the S4. I was just sighting examples of competitive cars that have the shocks mounted up front. The S4, BX Worlds, XX4, X-5, etc. are all good cars with the shocks at the back....

I said the last two, as in the two most recent of each event. The XX4's last World Championship was six years ago.

The XX4 is still a great car. However, its days of domination were before the...

You claim that both the SP and BJ4 front ends came from Losi, but the SP was "influenced" and the BJ4 "copied". That's an interesting choice of words.

I never said the BJ4 front end was not...

That's odd. At the Cactus Classic last month, Hara said he was running the "Tebo" setup he found online. :rolleyes:
