Team AE B74.2 build

[rollinlow]

I been running my 2wd b7 on a local carpet track and decided to pick up a 4wd

I started last night and got the first few bags knocked out but sadly didn't get many pictures

going basic kit setup to start
hobbywing esc and motor
protek 160 servo
jconcepts pin swags for tires

will post more tonight as more building happens

Nice! If you need any setup help I'm always here. Built up my .1 2 years ago and it was my first race kit. Raced it on carpet for bout a year. Pin swags is a pretty good choice although the fronts wear down pretty quickly compared to other tires.

they been working good on my 2wd so I figured id get them for the 4wd

a few of the guys been switching to fuzz bites so ill try those next

 

[DavidB1126]

Yea I currently run fuzz bites on mine. On lower grip office carpet or high traction CRC they are perfect. If it's on super traction fuzzy eos carpet it's a bit too much imo but they still work.

My local track has been really liking promotion vipers so I'll be trying that out soon.

well i started building as soon as i got home yesterday and missed a pics of some steps

got all the diffs and shock towers done then moved to the steering

rear uprights and axles

then moved to the dual slipper center diff which is very new to me weird setup

installed the servo went with the Protek 160T

Got the shock built last night then all the electronics in and soldered up just paint and fine tuning now

Tear it down. Clean with Simple Green. Spray plastics with WD40. Reassemble. New car.

If they are same as the B6 shocks, they are pretty impressive!

I always loved AE shocks.

Agree 100%!
Old or new, all my Associated shocks are smooth and do their job well. Better than most.

I was planning to bastardize a set to possibly work on a 20yr old CRT.5 mini-truggy.

Jennys had some Tekno shocks. Not super cheap but they ARE your brand. You prob have extra parts etc.
There are some others that are priced well and quality too .

I don’t wanna completely derail my dude’s thread-but they’re a bit big for a mini-trugg.. The Associated 1/10 would be almost just right I believe.. Just pricey..
