I try to google the answer but still needs help please. Indoor clay track; medium bite. My b4 push when enter corner. My logic is that if i can loosen the rear end a bit, then i may have less push when i enter corner. And, if i can increase front end traction, push will be reduced? Thanks
For indoor clay the trick is loosening the rear end by flattening out the roll. The hot combo on this car was to shave the rear u-brace and run the inner ballstud with no washers or maybe 1mm and then use the "C-hub" on the factory team hubs.
Try this setup, which includes what I said above: http://www.petitrc.com/setup/associa...Hobby20130519/
You won't have problems with push with this setup and the right tires.
Presume shaving the brace level with the rest of the "U" right?
the above setup is actually my home track.
I'm switching this up to mod and using the avid setup, thoughts on gearing my 8.5? I think I only have the 81t spur or the smaller 72t. Thoughts?

I run on a medium(ish) indoor clay track without a long straight. Was running an 8.5 and the power wasn't hard to handle, but I rarely mashed the throttle. Going to drop to a 10.5 and wanted to get a suggestion for a good ball park pinion to start with running a 81 spur. Thanks!

Hey guys, wondering if you could give me some insight on an odd problem I'm having with a B4.2 roller I recently bought. The right rear arm/wheel seems to be stuck about half an inch higher than the left when the car's on the stand; either the shock shaft is shorter, or it isn't coming out as far for some reason. I took the cap of the shock in question off and it looks normal, but I haven't completely disassembled it.

Well it cant hurt to make sure each shock is built correctly. A bent shock shock shaft depending where it was bent could only bind one way.
The hinge pins look OK to me, and the arms are moving freely. I can plainly see the difference in length between the shocks themselves, so I'll have to start with that. How many limiters should be in there?
