B4 2009, what mods are you doing?

[MHeadling]

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!

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

[thom.p]

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:

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 ?

[MHeadling]

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

Very Nice!!

[chb]

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

[Gayo]

3° on each wheel...

[chb]

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

i.e. 9584 are 0degrees rear hub carrier

[Gayo]

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