can anyone tell me how much anti squat does a rc10b4 have with out any shims??? is it zero, or two cuz i on the associated web site it says 2 degree anti squat but does that mean you can go up to two degrees or you could have a total of 5 degrees if you stack both spacers under the block.

Here is the lightweight setup that me and another team driver came up with for the track in STL. The track has some clay in it but it is not a sticky clay track. This setup would be too soft for sticky clay. We went from stuggling to run with the new Kyosho truck to just running against each other. Setup is transforming on our track.
T4 Setup:
Front:
3 piston, 25 wt, 2 limiters, silver spring, outside on arm, middle on tower, 30* blocks, 2 spindle washers, 2B camber with 1 washer.
Rear:
1 piston, 25 wt, no limiters, black spring with 2 coils cut off (need b44 offset spring cups so you can get the correct ride height), inside on arm, inside on tower, 2* antisquat, .5* Racers edge hubs spaced back, 1B camber link with 1 washer.
Battery forward (5000 Reedy), 8.5 motor (LRP X12 with stock 12.5mm rotor) with 87/21 gearing. No weight added.
Jconcepts blue carvers and Jconcepts blue barcodes scrubbed way down with stock JC foams.

Rod,I have a few questions about your set-up.First,how much camber front and rear are you running?and what ride heights are you running?Also what front axle height are you running?

What do you mean by spindle washers? and what does 2B camber mean?

Also another question, what do you guys use for limiters on the inside of the shock? O-rings? Plastic bushings? And another thing, are the bleeder caps really that beneficial? Is there any kind of bladder you can get for t4/b4 shocks like 1/8 scale?

i just use the old thin spacers from old rebuilds as limiters. as for bladders, one of the local fast guys tried the vcs2 shock kits and bladders, he said they were okay. but the ae shocks are made to work with all the air in there so its all mushy with air and stuff.

so on setups from ae's website, when they say 6 limiters, they mean 6 of those or what?

If the setup says six washers or six limiters it typically refers to the smallest size. You can use any combination you want to get the same amount of limiting.
Washers on the steering spindles are typically used to remove bump-steer in the front suspension. The B4 manual explains when you should use these limiters and how many. 25 degree blocks and steering spindles in the middle of the caster block typically require one spacer under the ballstud. Add another if you run the spindles in the down position.
Checking out the manual or the B4 setup guide explains this much better.

for the buggy class, is it realllllly hard to get into buggy and go modified with a 5.5t brushless motor........ or should I go with the stock 27t brushed motor to start?

i cant find those washers on any site, is there a part number?

Front axle height centered.

On camber links, if you look at a setup sheet on rc10.com it will show you what I mean. From inside to outside is 1, 2 then A, B, C.
