Low speed tracks here so less steering. If you were on a really fast track, I could see them working because they wouldn't fold or collapse. I really noticed it alot more when I started running 17.5 a couple weekends ago. Setup is soooo much more critical because you can't lose corner speed.

Bob what track do you race at?

right now I'm running at Bumps and Jumps. I will be making more trips down to SJRC though after Motorama. It's tough cause everyone runs on Sundays. Wish someone would run Saturdays :(

ok thanks for the information and help

Just wanted to check if anyone has ever experimented much with the #3 piston in the front with the V2 shocks. I've seen some setups with them in the rear but never the front. Just curious as I'm looking for a bit more damping in the front on my track. It has a lot of fairly big jumps with 1 ripple section. Currently I have 35wt front with #2 pistons and 3 limiters.

Any information would be great :)

I dont claim to be a shock expert. But..... Are you sure you aren't over packing the front with 35wt, #2 pistons and a 1550 gram buggy? Even on tracks with poor jump construction and lots of chassis slap, i never ran over 32.5 wt on #2 pistons.

Its funny, but small changes in ride height make big differances in how a vehicle lands. Maybe ride height is the issue. I check mine often.:rolleyes:

Anybody got a good carpet track set up? My local track just went carpet. I have a B4.1 WC buggy with out big bore shocks. Any help would be appreciated.

how long will the panther sliks last on the street? and hook up

No one could answer that, Too many variables: Compound of rubber, temperature, what motor, roughness of asphalt etc etc.....

Yeah number 3 piston up front with 50wt AE oil works good for GCRC :lol::lol::lol:

I initially thought the same thing but got my best lap times so far on my track. I want to try 32.5 shortly as I did find the car appeared to possibly be a little to stiff in the front which feels like its making the car push slightly. With recent changes like rear oil and piston and rear toe block, I managed to get a faster lap time again and this also helped with steering (more steering and slightly less stability in the rear but still enough for me.

All in all to answer your question, I dont think 35wt is to much damping (for my tracks jumps at least) However I will try thinner oils in the coming weeks :)

Cool thanks man I might try 80 wt :lol::lol::lol::lol:

IMO 35wt isn't too thick. However, when combined with #3 pistons it may be too much.

It's funny, but I find the box stock setup (with the exception of the front shocks moved to the inside hole the tower) really good.

What would be the better u brace to get carbon or plastic for the b4.1 to shave for the c hubs. Kind of don't know what to get. Thanks for the information and help. I am new at this still learning

This doesn't matter like carbon/non-carbon arms. I was running a carbon one, snapped a ball stud and the hobby shop only had plastic so I picked up that one. I might be wrong about their original heights even though I don't think I am, but you're shaving it flat anyways.
