I copied ronnefalks euros winning set up today and ran it at our Australian 1/10 nationals practice day 1 and the chassis was slapping the ground far too easily and hard off only small/medium jumps.
Some of the jumps have a flat landing which is where most of the bottoming out is occurring so is there a something I can do to help the landing soft and planted (like all the ae b74 cars seem to land so quiet and balanced everytime).
and my rear ride height won’t go lower than 24mm and that’s with the preload collars maxed out all the way up.
And apologies for my multiple questions but it is really tough to find much set up help on the internet for the d418.
I’ve read all the pages in this forum and really enjoy learning from all the members posts about all things hb 1/10 off road buggies!

Also build shock with max rebound.

His setup is showing some type of prototype shock tower, so I think your suspension package is not going to work if you copy the rest of it. Are you also running on a low traction track? That setup says medium grip, smooth dry

Ok I forgot about the prototype shock tower u are right the rest of the set up won’t work with the kit tower.
and yeah I’m running on low grip so I probs shouldn’t be copying his set up actually.
my d418 has steering that’s twitchy as hell and I’m lost as to how to make it easier to drive.

With the new rear bulkhead, I hear it's 5 and 3 dot arm mounts. Still trying to see what people are running in the front.

Slipper Spur
Love the D418 someone ran into me at full speed while waiting to start the race last night & broke the spur gear for the slipper. Wondering if the spur for the slipper is sold separately
Found the slipper kit but really would not want to spend $50.00 for a spur gear.
Thanks in advance.

Kinda saying it backwards. If in the rear of u decide to change roll center to use the longer 4,5,6 blocks. Then in turn u “may” also wish to level the dog ones out at the ride height u r using. If u do then u need the new rear Transmission case to do that.
this new case just helps u realign the dog bones at ride height to level or slightly off level when u run the low ride heights.
make since?
