Ran my BB's for the first time tonight , beat my personal best with um by quite a bit .
Landings are way better , traction too...
Car rides like on a cloud ....
Recommend using the instructions as a guide for set-up & installation .
Suggestions for set-up...
Ft
Ae green spring , 30w , 3 x .030 limiter , 1.6 piston
Rear
Ae white spring , 27.5 w, 2x.030 limiter, 1.6 piston
Will repeat , The new Ae BB springs R dialed...
Installation tips
I used the .090 spacers included on the shock tower screws , no time to grind the towers before the race...
Will be grinding the towers later , using a .030 spacer on the tower screws.
Will save grinding less material from the towers...
O-Man !
The Ae Rc10 B4.1 8mm ?
Now easier to drive & faster for everyone ....:nod
Awesome work Ae !!!

Would you suggest a similar set up for a T4? I asked on the T4 thread also but there is not as many people/opinions over there?

The 1st place guy went from mid corner and pinched down toward the pipe giving Ruona almost nowhere to go. HOWEVER, if you look at a freeze frame 10 seconds in you can see Ruona turning right into the left hand turn which sends him right into the 1st place guy. The driver's stand is to the right of this camera position it looks like, so he could see exactly where he was going.
I can't tell if it's shady or just an accident.
This is the kind of thing that happens every week in club racing. The race director probably should have had a restart for a big race.
So my question to you guys is: It's a big race and this happens to you. If you come out ahead do you keep going?

In that turn, he should have checked up more so as to not clip the dude. In my opinion, it's not a passing "I got the inside line" corner. I would have have pulled over.
And does it matter if it was an accident or intentional? I'd say most of the time, they're accidents. Doesn't make it okay to just keep going.

We are discussing a race in which a RC10 won. There's your link.
I thought it was an accident until I saw his wheels turning right at the start of a left hand turn. We are breaking down something that happened in like 1 second though. It's possible he saw his line cut off and was trying to swerve back to the outside.
So I suppose at the end I am taking both sides of my own argument.

The guy in front over jumped the double, landed wide and tried coming down to shut the door. Ruona's car was already at the apex. Dude was 3 or 4 car widths off the pipe.
The guy leading took himself out, and very well could of taken the top 3 qualifiers out with that move.

Anyways, I agree with FLHX1550.
I just wanted to know what would be a good starting point for AE big bore springs at my local track!

Made the jump to 2wd Buggy!
I finally got a B4.1 FTW and I have mounted plenty of 1/8 and SCT tires but never any 2wd Buggy tires. Anyway I looked around but couldn't find any basic guide or best new mounting tricks for 2wd and just curious if anyone can help me out with a link or a little info? Do you puncture tires just like all others(I do one on each side instead of center.) and whats a good way to trim open cell foams for 2wd front and rear? Thanks!
