Here's the setup on the green one: 17T Pinion / 87T Spur. I'm running 17T Pinion / 81T Spur on the red one.

Thanks! We're both having a ton of fun with them, and now I've got new tires on order, hehe. Ball diff is holding up just fine. Actually, the whole setup is running really nicely (yay stealth tranny!) I just need to look into replacing the bushings in the tranny with some real bearings. It's a very smooth and quiet setup that seems to roll forever when you get off the throttle (I don't use the drag brake setting). The B4 tranny is the same as the RC10GT, so it can take the abuse without grenading. :dft003:

Well, I wouldn't suggest slicks for the B4. Any tiny bit of dust or dirt on the surface and you go sliding around like you're on ice. Granted, I haven't run any purpose-built slicks (just bald tires!) so maybe that will be a different experience? Somehow, I think not tho.

Squee hit it on the head by suggesting the 1/10th road rage tires. I run those on my RC18T, and I absolutely LOVE them. They grip, but not so much you can't play with them. We've both been doing some research on tires lately and have come up with a few good candiates.

First are the ones on the green car:

Great grip on-road, ok in the grass, useless on dusty hard-packed clay. Prolly ok performers on soft loamy stuff. If you listen in the video, you can hear them WHIZZZZZZ as they spin on the concrete. Best part is that this is only on 8 cells. :027:

Next are the ones I just ordered:

I have these also for my R18T. Killer onroad traction, pretty good in grass and dirt. They have large enough lugs on there so I won't grind 'em off in one outing.

I'd suggest these if the Road Rage doesn't tickle your fancy:

They look like they'd hook pretty good, but I'm betting all those tiny treadblocks of the Road Rage would work better.


So, I think we're going to try to get out and do some offroad stuff this friday. Hopefully we'll find something to lauch off of! :cool:

Thanks for the info. My b4 just got here, I'm about to take it out of the box.
