Default 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.

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.
