you car must have been way off with the bb springs,ya its a little more lazy but way more predictable,easier to drive and way more consistent.my car dosent push at all its good all the way through the corner.Im running red/yellow with a shorty 1.5 pads back.you like the losi red pistons better then the ae #2?
yes i did like em over #2 a.e they fit the shock better and have a nicer landing if you land off.
i was running what my buddy ran, and he said the same thing...im running full pack, silver front white rear..i seriously make 3 mistakes a qual on those were on kyosho yellow i made a little pipe tap here and there...

I observed the prototype big bores on maifields b4.1 and the big bore conversion on his b44.1 v2s. At least that is what it looked like to me.

and just as u said the key thing the losi springs did for me was made the car more predictable and consistent and SMOOTH.. i didnt like it the first night because i felt slightly less agressive in turns and i had to get used to the way it reacted. but the second night i loved it and my 5 min times went down noticeably.

Two weeks ago I ran my Losi 22 for the last time. I again had problems getting it dialed for rear traction. A week later I sold the 22 and completed the build on my new 4.1 worlds. Night and day in my opinion. The 4.1 was great right out of the box. Granted I did do the hex conversion, and the big bore conversion. Running the losi BB red springs in front with Losi 27.5 wt oil and #2 piston, and yellow springs with 25wt oil and #3 piston in the rear. Easy to jump, landing is right on and easy to control. I decided to go the shorty pack route since I had it left over from my 22. I am using one half pad up front, and a SC10 pad in the rear. Love this car.
Now if I only had more time to practice. Can't blame the car anymore...

Silver / White is a bad combo IMO. Car isn't balanced. If you want your car to feel reactive like it does with std, run the silver with Pink or Yellow if bite is low. Orange/Yellow is your safe setup. If you are gonna run white rears, match them with red front. Personally I didn't like Red or White in any combination.

found this very informative..thnks..will be buying some more springs and seein what feels best..i liked red front yellow rear on hi traction clay, but want to try these combinations u were talking about..what wt shock oil have u been using and liking? i think i heard someone tell me they lightened up the oil when they put the bb springs on .i just used what i had been using and seems standard at my tracks wich was 30 front 27.5 rear.i am using ae #2 pistons stil..any suggstions,i just want to try em..thnks
For the shorty lipo slide it back as far as you can and add weight up front,you will gain alot of rear traction without sacrificing to much steering at all.I did this last time and the car was stuck to the track.1.5 pads in the reAr

I guess I should have prefaced it with Red/White is good with a shorty pack.... that's about it IMO. When I ran it with standard pack, my car need brakes to turn, didn't jump right, and just not fast. I was almost a second a lap slower with that combo, again, I was with a std lipo though.
