For the really big jumps they have there I would say yes. For the dirt I would say no. I switch to 2 hole setup for tracks like Hot Rod dry blue groove or CCR (sugared). Otherwise I tend to like the 4 hole setup.

Where did the term "blue groove" come from? Man this stuff confuses me when there are terms that aren't very self-explanatory. I'm picturing a track that literally has grooves in it that are painted blue. lol.

Casper / Ryan,

I'm working on the new Dunford setup on Casper's website. Can you please expand on the #3 piston and the shocks. Can the pistons & shocks be found in these tlr items?

Being you need 2 #3 and 2#4 pistons you only need one pack. Kit comes stock with these pistons so you should not need to buy any.

Can somebody help me understand why we have gone back and forth on this and what we have achieved (or are trying to achieve) by making the change?

If you can acess "JQ the guide" online , it does a nice job explaining how the pistons work and how the number of holes and sizes effect performance. The whole thing is a good read actually .

So rc madness put sugar down for the first time for this weekends short course nationals. I'm guessing the track will turn blue groove now. I doubt what we've been running for tires will work, but could be wrong. Can anyone with experience on a hard packed natural dirt blue groove track speculate what tires might work? I'd like to see if my lhs has anything before I head out.

Casper,
I thought the newest Dunford setup used #3 pistons front and back...

You are correct, the latest setup uses the same piston front and rear.

Something with a small or low profile pin. Handlebar, barcode, maybe even grid iron. And I would loosen up the rear a little stiffer spring and or roll bar or maybe even move the link down on the tower. Try them 1 at a time. High bite tracks are rough on these cars and tires.
