B4.1 RTR setup for indoor racing

[jimbo_468]

Hi All.

Not long brought a B4.1 RTR and took it for my first ever race the other night.
Now, my driving needs a lot of work as I have never done anything other than messed with monsttrucks in big fields etc, but the car was driving like poo and not doing what I wanted.

What setting do people have the ESC on - I still had it on forward/reverse and know I need to change it, but how much drag brake, if any, do people put on? can i do this with the standard kit?

I changed the springs and shock oil prior and used setup sheets on line to guage the settings, but it was still turning like the QE2. I also changed the front ribbed wheels to cut staggers on the night which helped a bit.
Is the steering servo that bad?? can anyone recommend a replacement thats not stupidly expensive but a notable improvement?

I'm also looking to change the motor and ESC. any recommendations for a novice user? Nothing to basic as I don't want to change it again in if I improve later (a beginners setting or power restriction would be good) What sort of brushless motor should I be looking at - 10t etc??

And finally - everyone (and I mean everyone) was running mid-motor. Is it worth me even trying to improve this car or shall I just bite the bullet and switch to a mid-motor car rather than spending loads to upgrade this one? There were mostly Schumachers, Durangos and TLR 22's. No one that I saw was running a B4 (hence no one to ask).

HELP!!!!! I love the racing but need to sort my kit out.
