So is this ur new buggy?

[Marcus.P]

yup chris.. thats my new one!
rs with a 13.5! WOO!

[vr6cj]

so your right again, Modesto Hobbies didnt have the diff by today and that manager down there gave me alot grief cause I asked, "if it comes in later on UPS could I get it before closing?"
His response was a big long sigh and a story about how there's 400 UNIQUE items on that order and how bla bla bla.....think I'm done with them. Joe needs a better staff there that maybe knows custormer service. BTW Joe is awesome, just all the other stuff. lol

  ha ha had about the same experience with that guy but I just wanted to drag him across the counter his people skills suck I pretty much use Damon if I need something never had a problem with Joe always good service

[vr6cj]

And it's after closing and no call. He can keep it.

Guess I'll stick to the good o'l Amainhobbies lol.

just picked up a NIB FT B4.1 off forums for $200. Cant wait to get it.

[Marcus.P]

nice chris, now all you have to do is slow down and you will stop breaking stuff

[vr6cj]

well the FT B4.1 kit came in today after work and I just got done with it about 1/2 hour ago. ALot new stuff with it over the previous B4 and the tranny is free as a bird. No binding. The manual is a bit confusing if your not careful. Guess AE decided to put all three kits in it on every page, meaning that it's the same manual for the B4.1, FT B4.1 and T4.1.

I did find a few things that could be fixed in maual but I figured it out. The CVA's are a nice upgrade over previous kits but it needed more shims then whats supplied to tighten up the slop on the axle. It also could've used some diff shims too for the same reasons. THe used the SC10 gear diff halves and it just dudnt seem as percise as it could be. The diff itself doesnt isnt smooth as the MIP one I just built in the ESE. Guess Bfast will be on the list soon.

The shocks were alot easier to build up now. No more snapping the orings in place and floating free. lol ALot easier to bleed now but be careful with the bleed screw as to not to strip it. I also like that all the ball ends are a screw in bow with a allen.
