Parts are cheaper for the B44, and I have suffecient supply of B44 spares. I'll save the 501x for the Albion debut.

Hi Brian
You have just bought a pile of parts for a car that you are going to run in half a year to fix a problem you haven't been having (twitchiness...) Why don't you invest the cash in two decent Reedy saddlepack lipos that you can use in all your cars, a used T4 and a decent stock motor and learn to drive properly instead in a larger field of drivers? Driving with others of similar ability improves your driving a lot more than buying more stuff... Also learn to tune your car and understand what each change you make does. There are great online resources to read on setup too. I think you'd actually have more fun and improve your driving a lot more than fighting with a totally overpowered 4WD (I understood you were running a 3.5) on smallish indoor tracks. That way maybe sometime you might really be able to hand out advice and be listened to instead of being flamed when you say hello  Oh and don't mention wrestling. Most people just don't understand

Jimmy should I change to the plastic caster blocks?
I have not had twitching issues with the aluminum ones at all. And Jimmy did you out-qualify anyone with the 501x recently? I know you have been racing the durga also, do you like it better than the 501x? Do you think I'll stack up to Wes's predator X10 with this car? sorry for all these questions... :/
