UGC F4 or FF4 ? so when i found out ugc was going out of business i scrambled and bought a ff4 and a f4 chassis. now i cant decide which one to put together and run.? i understand the 60/40 on the ff4 does it make that big of a difference? if you had a 60/40 because of wheel weight wouldn't it drive the same way? seem like it would to me. what would you pick? thanks |
I have been more than pleased with my FF4. Works great.... edit....hope you got the D mount as well |
nope all out. making some mounts so my ball ends can mount vertically on the vanquish servo brackets. same idea though. |
Dude run the ff-4 its really well balanced and a great chassis for the ax-10. |

Cant say much about the f4 but I can say that the FF$/Fastback setup is by far a kick to setup and run. In some ways I think the weight in the chassis and its positioning will impact COG in some ways. At least that makes logical since to me!! |
FF-4 is a great chassis. I myself prefer the F-4 just because I am fond of the 50/50 setup. All depends on your setup and driving style. |
When set up well with the electronics mounted low, both chassis' should perform fine. The FF-4 might give you better uphill capability, all other things being equal. You should be able to drop an ounce of weight in each wheel with the 60/40 setup. Put some beef toobs in the front axle, and you could probably drop another 3/4 ounce per wheel, and gain axle strength. |
I say build them both."thumbsup" |
Ff4 I don't think you can go wrong either way, they are both great chasis, "thumbsup" |
well i went with the ff4, still in the process of building, tomorrow the links will be built and it should be done. i really like the f4 frame and the symmetrical look. and now its just sitting there on my shelf :cry: |
i started with a FF4 and moved to the fastback which is the same geometry as the FF4. I say build the FF4. It really depends on your terrain. Try the FF4 and if it isn't working good, give the F-4 a try. You should be able to transfer your gear to the F4, with minimal investment if the FF4 doesn't work to your liking. Just my $.02 worth though. Talk to DickyT, I think he has ran both of them. |

Keep an eye on RPP's Salvage Yard. Cory often puts Honcho axle sets in there for under $70. The nice thing is the rear includes the lockout and straight axle shafts, and both include the heavy duty lockers. It's a cheap way to get those extra trucks rolling "thumbsup" |
