I'll just type out my setup on here
Front End:
Losi Reds
32.5wt
5 limiters inside shock
RPM 2 stage piston #2
Shocks mounted inner holes on tower and arms
Ballstuds inner holes, 2 washers
2 bumpsteer spacers
30* caster blocks
inline-axles
Camber -1* and Toe -1*
Ride height 23
camber link mounted middle of caster block
Rear End:
Losi Whites
27.5 wt
2 limiters inside shock
RPM 2 stage piston #3
Shocks mounted inner holes on tower and arms
Ballstuds inner holes 3 washers
Standard b44 rear hubs camber link mounted in the middle
Camber -1*
3* toe block
2* antisquat
ride height 22
Ride heights might be different, thats what I can remember offhand.
1/4oz rear triangles
3/4 oz servo tray
1/2 oz infront of toeblock(temporary till i get ballast weight)
Avid bell Crank
+8 Chassis
Finnisher/FTW body
It is still possible that i might be over driving the car, but i see other peoples b4.1s and they seem way more planted than mine. I havent had any of the top drivers use my car yet so I can't confirm if it is just me.
I typically use Barcode golds up front. I'm running the same tires as everyone else, so I am not too convinced its a tire issue.
I need to find a balance in the steering, I have a TON of low end steering, i'd like a little less, but pick up more on mid-high/corner exit. Bare with me, i've only been in this for a 6 months or so, and more or less, still know very little about these things. One of the fast locals told me to stiffen up the read end, so i threw on losi yellows, I did get some steering, but it was even more low end, and hardly more on exit. And the back end became washy too, so I went back to losi whites.
Quick thing on roll center, I understand the general gist of it, as far as the rear goes. Can someone elaborate roll-center to me with the front end, and playing around with more/less ballstud washers.
Thanks for the help guys
Try Orange front LOsi springs. It will reduce your steering a little.
Try Yellow rear springs. It will help with the push.. also maybe 30wt oil in the rear.
I have almost that same setup. I like the amount of steering with the Red springs.
I have 1 ball stud washer in the rear and a 2.5deg toe block.
My front arm shock mounts are outside. tower inside.
Rear arm mounts outer and tower are inner.
2 ball stud washer up front.
I run 24mm ride height
