Mark,
As you probably know at Hereford there are two big buildings...one is where we race...t'other is at the end of the complex by the other end of the astro pitch.
Go in their and ask at reception where the car club meeting is
There is also a bar on the first floor

As far as breakages go....1 x shock cap, 5 x shock shafts, 1 x wishbone.
Flanders is using B4 Unobtanium's so im gonna get me a set of them bad boys

[markwilliamson2001]

Yes, I think they are slightly longer, so you will need to put a spacer(s) under the piston to get the same downtravel on the front suspension.

I thought they were 0.74 (B4), whereas the B44 was 0.80-ish?

Confusion reigns!

[Sprocket]

Here is how two use a b4 front shock shaft on the b44

You got it the b4 shaft is shorter but they work fine. Tighten the eyelet on all the way (so no threads are visible) then back it off approximately two full turns. Works fine.

Does the 1.02 go on the rear? Or is it a different size again?

Two top decks? Seriously though it might be worth doubling it up in places, i've seen how hard you hit stuff

[DaveG28]

Mike,

I think towerhobbies has one or two in stock, I just ordered 2 off them!

[markwilliamson2001]

Try putting a washer under the nut which holds the ball joint in place. This should help spread the load more, and reduce breakages on the rear top deck.

[Chris Doughty]

Definately put a large outer Diam washer on the nut side and the ball side of the inner camber links on the top deck if you are breaking them frequenty.

also it might be worth a dab of blue thread-loc - I think some of the breaks on the top deck have come from the ball working loose and 'snatching' out of the top-deck.

[IceMike]

it starts breakin when i had the ballstud in the outer hole and it started to bend it. bigger washers might work. but wont i need longer ballstuds, where can i get them from

[Mike Hudson]

You can get long ball studs from losi
