Default B44 Shocks

Hi looking for a good starting point for a B44 shock settings.
running a hard pack rough outdoor track.
Currently running stock springs and 35W oil.
Car seems to be very bouncy and not flowing through the bumps.


cheers

B44.2 big bores?
Or B44.1 V2 shocks?

Looks like big bores in you avatar but cant really tell, black front and green rear springs with 35/32.5 oil and 1.6 and 1.7 piston as a starting point for big bores.

Hi, the Avatar is one of our B44.2's.
We use a B44 for a practice car,
I'm considering putting a set of big bores on the B44.

cheers

Dave , the chargers track is a real compromise , the high grip wants a harder setup but the bumps want softer . I have been also struggling with 4wd setup because of this...ha

Ha gopes, yeah it is a struggle, I've rebuilt all the shocks to a setup sheet i scored & will test them & see how things go, got everything written down so when ever i make an adjustment it can be noted (hopefully better). going to video it as well so i can look a little closer.
cheers mate.

Ha dave , I like your approach , somewhere I have a laminated copy of ray mundays tuning guide , I will dig it out and give it to you , some great info on it and could help you guys .
Also I might try and get out and join ya's for a test and tune session as I really need to get my 4wd set up better . Pm me on fb when you are going to the track and I will try make it .
Cheers gopes
