I’d like to compare some day how these incremental changes impact the driving of the car… I run a 2015 OG RC8B3 on my track and the thing still holds up against other cars!
Interesting they switched the spur/pinion rotation, as all the other manufactures doing the opposite for this purpose, so suck the car down during accelaration, interesting that AE now changes to do the opposite but to get the same effect.. As i understand the reason it sucks the car down is as the motor is spinning its core one way, the motor can is pushed to the opposite direction, as so as it mounted on the side of the car and not the center, rotating the can (and the motor mount) is actually pushing the car down
Have a question. Sorry it’s about something else but I know you have some factory connections. The new 4.1 comes with LTC & HTC gears. I see some set ups using all htc gears. Can you give me some insight on running all HTC gears vs LTC,htc,LTC.
Do you have any experience with running the 4s shorty layout vs the saddle pack on the b4.1e? Is there a significant difference? If so Does it matter for your average club racer? just trying to keep things simple.
I have never ran it, nor have i seen anyone run the 4s setup. It depends really if you plan on running any other platforms. I run 1/10th as well and most of the time its shorty packs on those so it makes sense to me to run the saddle layout.
@@SuperFastRc ok thanks. I’m also trying to save a bit of money. I only have a single battery charger at the moment so a 4s will be cheaper and easier for now.
Hello bro , i commented on your 8yrs old video in which there is Team associated Pro sc 4x4 car and you had the spur gear issue , i also have the same car and having same issue of the spur gear , please tell me what can i do as there is no part available, can i use metal spur gear of same specs please help !!
I am not really sure, i sold my prosc years ago. I know that it uses some old thunder tiger platform but I’m not sure what the cross reference. Also they made the same truck under the name prolite 4x4
Are the front lower arms the soft material green dot on the rc8b4.1e? The reason I ask is because I think there is a wrong part number listed in the rc8b4.1e manual for the front lower arms.
@SuperFastRc the part number in the manual is 81528 which is wrong. On Amain the soft arms are 81636. Just checking to get some spares. How durable is the rawspeed body? Is it the regular weight or lightweight? Thanks
I’m coming from Tekno and wanting a chassis change so the new 4.1e was my choice. I have a question about how the steering servo wire runs. I watched your 4.0 video and it Judy’s comes out of servo and makes right hand 180 back under receiver box. Is this how you kept it? I didn’t know if it was supposed to go under the other plastic piece by the steering post.
@@SuperFastRc so the wire comes out of servo and goes under the keeper in front by steering post then under the tray through the other keeper? I’m just trying to see how it’s supposed to go or actually the best way. I watched your original 4.0e build and you were talking about it and it looked like you didn’t use it. Sorry to bother just trying to see best way
@@jameskincaid8036 So the keeper in the middle by the driveshaft i think is for the sensor wire or something. Not the servo. The one for the servo is under the rx box. You loop the wire under the box and through the guide and into the rx box. 👍
@@SuperFastRc okay. Thanks for clarifying that. No matter how I tried to run it using the front clip it just didn’t look right. I know you’re probably running the Florida race today but when you get time will you give me a list of the front and rear springs you run the most along with sway bars. Run on probably a lot of same types of tracks in West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina.
@@nickhathaway4617 You can, they are very durable. Depends on what kind of battery setup you want to run. The Tekno is more friendly to 4s stick packs.
RWB is probably more beneficial to less skilled drivers than it is to pro drivers. Oversteer catches slower drivers off guard all the time, while pros can generally adapt to handling difficulties. That being said, an easier to drive car is never a bad thing, if it runs the same or better lap times. No need to resist progress just because what we have works “well enough.”

Hey man I have a rc8b3e. I've been trying to find a new diff package for it any suggestions?
Looking at this it sure has a lot of parts that look similar to Arrma BLX cars.
Similar they are both pillow ball front ends. But the AE will generally be better suited to a track then the arrma will and vise versa with bashing.

Yeah its a cool concept and it makes sense.
Why did they go to a +1 steering arm when the B4 had +2 steering arms wouldn’t the +2 numb the steering more
Sound like you may have to test that theory yourself.
Good morning Chris, are you running +5 gop rear shock standoffs?
The low traction ones? Then yes

Is that the rawspeed body?
Yes it is! Any questions about it? I run for Rawspeed!

Yes it is designed to route underneath. Just make sure the wire isn’t getting pinched. 👍

@@jameskincaid8036 Nah, no problem. Im in Texas, what kind of grip levels do you usually run on?
Can you bash these. I want to build a kit and love the way these look. Or just go tekno
@@nickhathaway4617 You can, they are very durable. Depends on what kind of battery setup you want to run. The Tekno is more friendly to 4s stick packs.
@@SuperFastRc do you think you can fit two 3s
What wing is that?
This is the Jconcepts Razor wing
What size motor pinion with 2200kv
I would go with a 15t
Does anyone run the single pack setup?
You know i have yet to see anyone run anything but short packs. All the pros are running saddles too. Personally i prefer it.
You can run a single pack 4s short pack. It's slightly longer than the shorty and significantly shorter than the standard 4s pack
Can they not name a car something aside from numbers and letters??
You have a point, I think this is the longest one yet lol. A bit of a fax machine of a name.
RWB really needed in 4wd? It probably would not make a difference to the majority of skill levels that race.
It definitely makes a difference in traction
New chassis setup made a night and day difference in traction on mine also.
RWB is probably more beneficial to less skilled drivers than it is to pro drivers. Oversteer catches slower drivers off guard all the time, while pros can generally adapt to handling difficulties.
