What is it? B4 or 4.1?

[Thargor]

Hey guys so I picked this up cheap for one race only (i thought). Put in borrowed electrics and a friends 6.5 turn Orca and ended up nearly winning the A main last weekend .
So ive decided to keep her!!!

Anyone tell me if this car is a B4 or a B4.1??

Let the internet guessing begin!!

Just a B4... The shocks are V1's, the front C hubs only have 2 holes, few other things aswell, although i think it has a B4.1 rear tower

LOL!!!! i broke the rear tower trying to get the line over the big double in practice!! olny part i changed all weekend.. except the new tires and wing i put on

looking at shocks there v1 style (all seals and washers fitted from inside) so I would hesitate its a b4

I did see in one picture the front hinge pin brace is missing and the pins are starting to work free not sure if you were stripping to clean or didn't realise

Keen eye!! i just loosened them off as i just had to go and meet the guy who lent me the front brace for the weekend!!! she was thrown together with borrowed parts, literally.. currently running the shoehorned spare geared diff i had for my sc10 in the back too.... actually cant believe i lead some of the A with this car...

well thats awesome thanks guys.. i realize now after a bit more research that the shocks are a dead give away....
Gonna do a few mods, replace all the worn out/stripped bits and run her as a cheeky 3rd class at the first round at the NCT spring shootout in Wenatchee at the end of the month..

Any suggestions of must do mods (nothing crazy) that you can think of that she needs to bring her up to date?

Big bore shocks is all that I would add, you can buy new or have a look in the for sale area there might be some for sale. Maybe go for the 8mm+ chassis but that means that you will need a new shell.
