Thanks Spencer! This really helped me begin to understand some aspects of set up changes and more importantly, why to do them and what they do. Would you consider making a bunch of short videos that follow this thought? For example; a clip with your 2wd, focusing on when, why, and what it does to the car when you change the pills in the c and d blocks. I would love a whole tutorial series that clears up a lot of the misconceptions we amateur racers are struggling through to maybe make the hobby more enjoyable for us. Thanks again for the great video! Keep them coming! We really appreciate them!

Thanks to Spencer for all you do. Great kid! Anyone willing to help an old racer, it will be GREATLY appreciated. I started rc nitro racing with the Jammin' x1 Truggy, WAY back in the day! Now, I'm 55 and still love 1/8th racing (Tekno e-buggy), but our shop now also has a small/medium indoor, hard packed, red clay off-road track. I've raced my buddy's 2wd 17.5 a few times, and liked it, but at my age, I'm more comfortable with the easier driving 4wd's. So, I'm building a B74.1d for our 13.5 class. I'm looking for non twitchy, EASIEST to drive setups/tips. Spencer's video hinted a lot at setup adjustments being "easier" or more predictable and forgiving, but does that mean easier for a pro, or would this complete setup make for an overall easier driving car, even for a club racer like myself? Thanks for any suggestions. Trump 2021!

@@spencerrivkinracing Why are you guys chancing a DNF with plastic servo horns? I see them listed on all of the top AE driver's setup sheets.
@KacKLaPPeN233 жыл бұрын
@@mgers75 My theory is: both a dead servo and a broken horn cause a DNF, a dead servo is more expensive and time consuming to replace than a broken horn, so that one is chosen as the weak point.

No, the kit was just released not to long ago. The shocks are an option. Unfortunately it’s difficult to be able to put everything in to production. So that’s why we make options parts :)

The b74.1D is for dirt because it comes with a center Diff. The B74.1 comes with a center slipper and thicker sway bars
