My guess is that the stock setup will need the same stuff all the other b44 generations needed depending on track: playing with the weight and ride height in the rear and potentially playing with the inside ball stud in the front depending on the track. Those are my go-to changes. Given the newness of the dampers, you might be in for some oil changes, perhaps even pistons, but that's a given.

I honestly cant believe they called for 20mm in the rear for the book setup, but don't put any weight in there, especially with a longer chassis. IMHO, on our tracks, the b44 always needed to be at 21mm in the rear without weight (classic original team setup), or it will have so little roll that it just slides the rear around completely unengaged in the corners. When you start adding serious amounts of weight back there, 20mm starts working, but then the car is always slower lap time wise on our tight layouts. I like 21mm + silver + 0 ball stud washer on our current layout. Obviously a different car than the new 44.2, but I'm willing to bet we'll find basically the same story to be true for this buggy.
