Double check your pistons.. try replacing them with a new set. Tolerances aren't always spot on.

Been racing at a track that has been filled with TLR 22. Local addition of 2 B4.1 (me and a close racing friend) were able to put them 1 and 2. Team Plastic Chassis as we call it on top!

It was a great race! 1/10 mod buggy was filled with 14 buggies. Good competition all day. I was able to check out early, since Jacob was stuck in traffic for the ENTIRE race.

The new Worlds kit is fantastic. I'm running a completely stock kit with Kyosho springs.

Any suggestions to fixing this?
Thanks
Nothing is the same. each will feel different. also if you put to much thought into and try to find something different your mind will find it

My car feels great im just chassis slapping everywhere and no one elses does that and there running all the same springs weight oil, limiters, and pistons
Define your chassis slap? are you over jumping the jumps? landing on the downside of the jump? Mine only slaps if I over jump a jump which I know will happen

I run red/white Losi BB springs with 27.5wt front 25wt rear and the car handles very well at the track I race at.

again. NO car built to the same specs will handle the same... You 99% do not drive the same way as the other people do.... tune/adjust the car to how you drive. If you are chassis slapping to much. find out what you are doing wrong.

also How old are your springs? their wear rate is rated on compressions.

You will find the same spring will start needed more adjustments to get the same ride height compared to when they were new

I'm running lighter oils than both you and Tom. If I overjump the big double I'll get some slap, but that's it. Everywhere else it's working great. I'm also running #2 pistons all the way around.

I think I fixed my shocks.
I added a tad bit more rebound and they feel much more plush and a lot better

What does it matter if they dont feel perfect on the bench? If the car is running good then what does it matter?

Because they could have felt better on the track and now they will feel better... And they feel good on the bench....

That makes absolutely no sense.... I said they felt better on the track.. But they are also smooth on the bench I dont think a shock that feels like crap will perform as good as a shock that is smooth..

Question? Do your shocks feel good on the bench or only on the track?

Kind of a silly statement there.
