Cool I will try that to start off with.

I can wait !

I seem to like my setup right now,

so cherry what setup are you finding best now? and i thought pinks were better, i felt yellow to be a little loose when you got out of the corner and punched it..
pinks felt much better.

Is this for a high bite track?

I'm sitting at
front 30w, 2 piston, 2 limiters, Silver Losi
rear 27.5w, 2 piston, 2 limiters, Yellow Losi

Rest is pretty much Cav's Finnland setup.

Looks good , maybe add a limiter on the ft ...


If you try the drilled piston on the rear you will find a little better landing off the jump.

Been bouncing between the three colors , so far I keep coming back to pink , but most are still using yellow at TRCR..

Stupid question perhaps, but why don't buggies have a bumper at the front - one that would prevent frontal impacts on the wheels?

Is it a rules thing, or that it just wouldn't look buggyish

Adding another limiter... should reduce roll on the front end. Isn't that going to in effect reduce traction as well or am I thinking wrong?

are most of the current setups using the shorty packs? Reason I ask is I just got a killer deal on 2 like new Orion 90c's and would like to use them with my new +8 b4 car.....thanks for any insight.

Bob

extra spacers or limiters
allow less body roll into the turn , does not effect traction...

intersting.......body/chassis roll to me always translated to traction. One of the reasons you would throw on a sway bar or change a roll center....

How much does 3 limiters limit you in terms of rough track....... this track we race at can get kind of sloppy because of the 8th scales.

nice, thats what guys over here have been running, mostly yellow.


I am ganna try brent theilke setup for the shorty packs, i wanna c how it works with a full pack..seems like v1 barcodes in gold are reall good, i could use em on my b44.1 because it pushed it i had to use bald bks

And the traction at the track has been getting better and less dusty,

ill post update!

Can someone give me a link to the shock collars and retainers used to convert to bigbores please.

or you can go to the lhs

After almost 3 months of trying the BB springs vs the std AE springs, I personally am faster with std. The easiest way to describe the difference between the two is that the AE springs feel more darty and precise, while the BB springs all tend to make the car feel more plush, maybe a little slower reacting and they land rough jumps better. If you still want to try for yourself, here are the parts needed.
