If you want to stop chassis slap at the rear, here are some tips:
- run heavier rear oil
- use smaller rear pistons
- increase rear ride height
- use a stiffer rear spring

The motor usually wont take the brunt of a landing unless you are landing very nose high. This is mainly helped by technique (timing of throttle / brake as you leave the jump) more than setup.

The motor gets a little bit of scratching from time to time on a B4, but unless you are consistently landing nose high, I wouldnt expect any damage. Our track (Keilor) is super abrasive and has quite a few jumps and Ive never had any issues.

Hi Ray, i'm running at Ryde in Sydney so i suspect our surface is similar.

I definately need to improve my technique and am looking forward to sme more practice. I've been shown the jump braking technique and will practice x 100.

I've got a B4 RTR kit I bought 5 years ago abd have added tekin RS and Redline 17.5.

I'm pretty sure the springs are black.

Do you recommend I buy the optional rear spring Associated Part # ASC1582
rebulid the rear shocks with 30wt oil and then experiment with different springs?

Is it worth going to the factory team shocks with the adjustable threads? I'm happy for any suggestions thanks
