Looking for a good rough track setup guys. Going to PNB looking for good starting point. Really I'm wondering what piston setups guys are running in the rough stuff.

stick with stock 1.2x8, they are working really well. I ran on a very bumpy track with smaller jumps last week and the stock oils were probably perfect. I raced this past weekend on a track that got pretty bumpy in some areas and a tad blown out, not terrible, and still ran with the stock oils. It was maybe a touch soft in the rear, but the track was very loose and I kept it soft to help retain some traction.

I really like 7-5-3 in diffs, 2 stripe springs, 1.3x8 pistons all the way around with 5of/45r shock oil. Ive always been a fan of the 1.3 pistons. Im new to running this diff setup but I did notice that it will calm the car down a bit and with the higher front diff it seems to be more stable under braking in rougher sections. Also set droop at 30 front and 22 rear with your ride height around 29 rear and 27-28 front. Car will be easy to drive with enough rotation just about anywhere.

Brass weights for front and rear, front shock towers and 6 and 10 degree steering plates arrived at shop today

Stock setup would be ideal, before you touch anything else, just reposition your shocks on the shock tower and lower arms accordingly.

If you have a loose end, go with 2 strip rears, other then that the buggy would be dialed out of the box.

Having a little more droop as a last resort if you find your buggy unsettled in the front, then add 1 increment at a time to get to desired cushioning level.

I ran stock setup on a rough loose track the other weekend and I gotta say, the box setup was pretty damn close to spot on for those conditions, only thing I would change is 2 1/2 wt or 50cst higher in rear shock oil. I like a little more drive out of my car so have gone to 5k 6k 3k in diffs

isn't 2 stripe rears stock?

gt racing

exactly.
i tried 3 stripes (little harder) was pretty good, but not a huge difference.

IMO best stock set-up from all my buggys so far.
(for my needs here on german tracks)
just minor tweaks here and there, car is almost perfect for my driving style.

will try a lot more just because learning more about the car and her reactions on changes, but donīt have to.

Does this new car have more "Physical Steering Throw" compared to the xb9? Meaning can the wheels turn further, just curious. Still contemplating whether to try the new XB8 or get a D812 after driving an Xray since 2010!! Getting kind of hard to justify 5 xray cars in 5yrs.

I have not any XB9 13 cars left, but from what i remember it looks like the steeringthrow is "longer".

The throw hasn't changed much. It can't because of the sive on the driveshaft. The axle came right around onto the driveshaft before and it still does now.

But the cambering of the wheel at full lock has changed massively. It now really leans into a corner.

If your concerned about the low speed steering of the car you really shouldn't. It has massive amounts of turn in compared to the old car

Kind of. What I was thinking is where i see HB, and AE's shine is when you land a downside jump that has a 180 right after, they are able to knocked that out without having to loosen up the rear in a smaller radius vs the xray car, but based on what you said its increased so yay.
