B4 parts dont fit. Cheaper to get these Losi 1042 axles from DMS. Perfect fit onto any MIP designed UJ. UJ washers are easily obtainable and not expensive.

Car jumps really really well, travel is spot on and UJs do not pop out or grind. I use associated ball joints on the rear shocks (I put on both holes on the rear wishbones so I can pop off and po on if I need more travel with zero time wasted. This also gives a bit more clearance on the rear due to using the long associated B4 plastic balljoints.

On carpet I recommend using staggers front and mini pins rear and the car easily keeps with mid motored without any issues, possibly better at jumping overall. B4 is not as user friendly and very hard to get set up, whereas the B2/B3 is a doddle to find a reasonable set up.

There really isnt much to updgrade on this buggy except buying a B4 layshaft and slipper plates, slipper pad and 81 B4 spur to handle the brushless motors (direct fit with zero modification needed) and the rest is just getting the setup right and thats it.
