From my experience, my first B4 was a full plastic one and it was excellent. Could do lap after lap the same within reason, setup needed little change to suit anywhere.

When I switched to Graphite, I found the car would be less forgiving and hard to do lap after lap the same. It would feel great on a setup somewhere, then next meeting be a million miles out. Would grip roll at random when id been doing laps the same all daylong - perhaps the stiffness of the chassis meant it uncoils mid-corner like a spring? I dunno, it wasn't good.

I am back to a plastic car now, upgraded with tit-turnbuckles, alloy front bulkheads, trishbits, Nortech O-rings and threaded shocks - it is how I remember my first B4 being. Very good, infact, better now I have a setup on of my own using Losi pistons.

If I was going to buy another B4, I would consider an FT but still put plastic wishbones & towers on it - keep the carbon as spare if desperate.
