I forgot all about the Lunsford, probably because they are so expensive, I think the B4.2 kit is around $90, they do save weight though.

I just got back from practice at trcr after the races were over and the grip was awesome. I have been running same shock setup as WC, but today went back to 30wt oil in the rear and I felt like I had a bit more grip. Then after a while I tried my kyosho springs... Pink/gold . I beat my fastest lap of the session 2 times. By just a few tenths but.. the Kcar springs were feeling really dialed tonight. Anyone else using them??

Ok I realised I haven't given my setup details:

1.6 piston all round, 3 limiter front and 2 in rear. 30/27.5wt F/R oil. Green springs all round.

Full Stick pack and esc on side pod. Shaved brace (Yaiba racing) with rear hub (metal Yaiba) equal to a "C"

2 deg antisquat

Metal bulk head up front. The rest is pretty much kit setup include full ballast weight rear.

I am trying to get rid of a slight push on power corner exit. The rest is perfect.

Just need to know which setup the B4 platform responds to the best

If I plan to run a shorty pack and put the ESC in the rear behind the battery, is there any reason not to stick the ESC to the chassis, thus keeping the COG low? I'm aware of the AE centered ESC mount, but if I have room on the chassis, do I really want to mount the ESC that high?

Unless you are running at a ROAR sanctioned event, you do not need the ESC mount. I prefer mine with the ESC and receiver in the tray, but that is my personal favorite.

I think he was suggesting that you change your anti-squat to reduce the push. I would try going to 3° and see how it feels to you. I know my initial post said decrease but I was thinking so hard on how to spell "titch" I got it backwards.

Seeing as this race just finished about 12 hours ago you will have to wait and see if AE puts it up on their site in the coming days/weeks.

Works fine that's how I run mine. Take off the rear T-Plate and mount the esc as far back on the chassis as you can. Reassemble, use foam pad between battery and esc and behind esc. Mounting it on a shelf does give it noticeably more roll.
