I paint the top.

I might try his JC Spring Indoor setup.

Black Front
32.5
1 Limiter

Green Rear
30.0
1 Limiter

3 x 1.4 tapered Pistons front and rear.

How do those pistons work?

Its taper bottom flat on top right?

they work fine for me. let is know what you think of the 1/1 milliliter setup

What way does the flat side go?

I probably wont try the 1/1 setup for a few weeks.

I tend to wait and do major setup changes.

I will be trying this setup next:

How do you think that track (Mikes Hobby Shop) compares to this one (my local track):

flat side up.

You can unscrew the shock bottom a couple turns to see how more droop feels. I think you can can 3-4 turns easily. Measure the gap between the body and the end. then unscrew and take not of how much it did. each limiter is .030 inches. That is the easiest way to get more droop without taking your shocks apart.

Thanks wildcat, but...

Nevermind.

Just did some more research and thinking and this setup seems to fit my track best, I just need to remove one front limiter and then I am identical to it.

you can unscrew it 2-3 times and get the same effect as removing 1 limiter. It will same you the rebuild on the shocks.

I just bought a gently used B4.2, it is a kit that was run "3 times", I plan on running in a local Stock 17.5t Class that is very competitive. I am planning on adding a Novak GTB2 LP 17.5t Vulcan Combo, and Airtronics 94770, if there is a better setup at around the same price range I am open to suggestions. I use to run in a Modified Touring Class years ago, when lipos and brushless were just starting to catch on, so my experiance with these things is limited so any help is greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a good setup. I just got a vulcan and it has been awesome. It has a lot of bottom end. I'd pick up a reedy short pack and your good to go.

If you paint the top peel the film off before painting. I assume since there is film on the top, you are to paint the bottom if anything

Good to hear, I will definitely pickup some reedy short packs, I have 2 of the 14.8 5500's for my RC8.2e I picked up a couple months ago, and they have allot of punch.

Hi there

What different the tapered pistons make if i switch from the stock pistons to the tapered with same size and holes, same oil and same springs?

Wondering if anyone is using Saddle packs, particuarly 1 pushed to the back and 1 pushed to the front with the spacer in the middle.

Seems like a bit of a middle ground way of achieving on/off power, grip and on/off power, steering.

some guys use them because they offer most weight tuning. You could also used a shorty and put lead in the pads to move the weight around. That is what I am currently doing. Most people that use saddles, also have a 4x4 and want to share the packs. But yeah, people have used the pad in the middle before. Have they won a worlds like that? No. But it wont be all that dramatic for a club racer.

Speaking of weight. I was talking to a tlr guy that runs mod at a race weight in the mid 1700's. lol, I asked him him if it was that much to knock the AE cars off the track. He just laughed. I guess the tlr buggies like weight in mod. I currently like about 1575 in 13.5 buggy for outdoor racing. If running indoor higher bite I drop about 30 grams.

They add extra pack for smoother landings ( rear) & steering (front) .
