The MIP rings create a lot of friction. A couple guys at my track tried them a few years ago and all had to drop 5w on their shock oils.

+1, not to get in a pissing match but I heard the same thing from an AE factory driver. I use the red ones

Set-up question:
I'm running the B4 on a VERY loose dusty track, primarily for 1/8th cars.
I have the set-up going pretty good, and i'm learning every time I get out there, but i'm struggling a bit with it swapping ends when I enter a turn off-power.
Any ideas on how to reduce this?
I've made it heavy as a tank as the track is quite rutted, with weight on top of the battery strap and also on the steering servo. That made a massive difference in keeping it's feet on the ground in the long back straight and sweeper.
I'm not worried about it being heavy, as i'd rather sacrifice speed for handling while i'm learning.

Stand up your front shocks, increase the weight of oil in your front shocks, and/or goto stiffer front springs. Other options, add limiters to your rear shocks to reduce droop. Decrease brakes on your ESC.

Honestly, I must say, run the car at racing weight. Add the 1.5 Ozs to the rear as shown earlier in many pics on this thread and add just enough to make u legal if you're running Lipo and it's needed.

Having all that extra weight is leading to extra weight being transferred, which is making the problem worse.

If u can provide your current setup, it may help with more setup options.

Anyone here could break it down too, it was just easiest to refer you there. I'm feeling a little lazy this eveing.

The VCS2 caps work awesome... just dont use any foam under the bladder as it needs to flex.

RB5 - bladders make every shock smoother.. AE and Losi are the last people in existence to not switch over still. I ran my B4 for 3 weeks with them.. just rebuilt my shocks saturday and the oil was clear and there still wasnt any air in them.

I'm converting one of my B-4's to a on road sprint and want to change the camber blocks on the front end to stand up straight and allow more tire contact on pavement. The existing blocks angle the wheels over for digging into dirt. My question is: What degree of blocks should I get ? I can't seem to find much research data on this. Thanks.

A basic setting to check.. Too much drag brake or brake in general will spin'er around.

Hope you guy`s using the shock bladder`s realise you increase the pack quite a bit and need to adjust oil (lighter) & piston(bigger) to get the same results as using no bladders....

The extra pack you get using bladder`s with no other change is taking traction away and delivers less body roll, bumps will be ruffer as well...

W C,so are talking 5wt difference, or one piston size larger?
