Car rides like on a cloud ....

Recommend using the instructions as a guide for set-up & installation .

Suggestions for set-up...

Ft

Ae green spring , 30w , 3 x .030 limiter , 1.6 piston

Rear

Ae white spring , 27.5 w, 2x.030 limiter, 1.6 piston

Will repeat , The new Ae BB springs R dialed...

Installation tips

I used the .090 spacers included on the shock tower screws , no time to grind the towers before the race...

Will be grinding the towers later , using a .030 spacer on the tower screws.

Will save grinding less material from the towers...

O-Man !
The Ae Rc10 B4.1 8mm ?

Now easier to drive & faster for everyone ....:nod

Awesome work Ae !!!

i'm running 17.5 with a shorty and minimal weight added. so you think black front and green rears with the same oils and pistons is a good starting point (i'm running orange losi fronts and yellow losi rears now).

Ok so what we are saying then is that the AE BB shocks (with their springs) are a significant upgrade over the V2 shocks with Avid BB springs (what I'm running now).

I'm just trying to confirm that I need to spend $100 on new shocks.

How are those 25c wolfpacks in the punch department ? Just figuring that they dont have the gitty up as a 40 c would

In mod it would be perfect, smoothes out the response. In blinky I would recommend a shorty pack with the higher c rating. Still lightweight but with the higher c should get more punch.

Is why we favored a stiffer set of springs last night .

When TRCR's track layout gets change next week ?

Most will go a softer spring for extra grip ...

The 7.5 Reedy has plenty of the pony's .

Wolf pack weights 1 1/2 oz less than a 60c standard pack .
Lighter weight & the lower 25 C rating is why the Wolf rules in mod buggy right now .

Cappy I ran 25c packs all last winter.....They are fine. Especially with the lack of bite our tracks have

And I guess a follow up to my follow up: So are you guys saying that the new AE BB springs are better than the Avid BB Springs? Has anyone tried the new BB shocks with the Avid BB Springs?

Honestly I bought the Avid spring set knowing the AE were coming out but making the assumption that the quality would be on par with the AE or better.
