Abstract: The 3-body problem in $mathbb{R}^4$ has 24 dimensions and is invariant under translations and rotations. We do the full symplectic symmetry reduction and obtain a reduced Hamiltonian in local symplectic coordinates on a reduced phase space with 8 dimensions. The Hamiltonian depends on two parameters $m{u}_1>m{u}_{2}ge0$, related to the conserved angular momentum. The limit $m{u}_{2}o0$ corresponds to the 3-dimensional limit. We show that the reduced Hamiltonian has relative equilibria that are local minima and hence Lyapunov stable when $m{u}_2$ is sufficiently small. This proves the existence of balls of initial conditions of full dimension that do not contain any orbits that are unbounded.
