hmm I tried them and disliked it on dirt

Hey guys, what's the basic chassis set up for 17.5 blinky? also has anyone played around with BB springs on standard shock like everyone was doing before the BB shocks on the b4.1?

I run the AE bb springs. Definetly feel smoother

which ones?

white fronts and green rears

Has anyone found a upper spring coller for the v2's that dont allow very end of the AE 12mm spring to pop out?

I have Traxxas upper collers and RPM ones and the AE green rear 12mm spring very end bit pops out the side (the collor is to small /loose)

I know most will say just get the big bore shocks but I was hoping some one would now of some upper collars that dont do this.


The avid springs must fit a bit tighter as they dont do it. (internal diameter must be a bit smaller)

I dont want to lash out for GHEA or AVID upper collares just to find they still do it, as it changes ride height with it poping in and out etc...

I dont like the losi uppers. I have them and they suck. get the traxxas uppers. I have had no issues with ae or losi lowers.

Sorry I must have been day dreaming as I got mixed up, It is with the Traxxas uppers that this happens

my springs didnt pop out. The collars fall out when I take the bottoms off. but they never pop out while racing. I am using the traxxas uppers and the AE bb lowers.

#2 pistons?what shock oils in the shocks

Sorry. I was running cav's nats setup with the springs I listed.

Try pushing the spring to the side and watch closely to the very end/tip of the spring

right, but the springs dont normally have side tension. I finish the races with every intact. The springs dont look scuffed up from rubbing. I guess it is a non issue for me.

I have a t4 can i convert that to an sc10 ? If so is it the same? And what do i nerf

Hate to bring back the weight thing but you need to also realize that they have minimum weight requirements to meet as well and they all run mod motors. 17.5 blinky is weight savings nirvana.

Regardless weight does help with consistency and is much easier to tune with than balancing out the suspension to the chassis. The lighter you go the lighter your shocks usually need to be as well. Not to many pro setup sheets that offer a starting point.
