So using my B4 and fixing it when necessary might prove difficult. Are parts still available?

Hey guys I am running shorty pack for the first time in my b4.2 an I got my receiver in the Lipo tray and the ESC on a shelf.
Shock are set up like the book set up but I put the tapered 1.6 in with 32.5 front and 32.5 rear . My question is going in to a sweeping turn the rear washes out?? Every else the buggy is fine!!!!
The track is a in door, cold, clay wet. Tire front and rear is a green barcode and a m4 suburbs.

What size pistons, oil, and shocks are good start off for a full stick pack? I feel the car likes to slap more off a jump instead of being plush landing and driving off. Is there one part I should work with more first such as using smaller size pistons or higher weight oil?

Flat piston will drive smoother & easier for you.
Easier to drive will work best for someone new .
As you gain experience you will learn to make the car faster but not necessarily easier to drive ...
start with Green spring front & back
2 x 1.6 flat
32.5W front >>Med Traction
30W rear or 27.5W for extra traction

Taper makes the car more reactive , better for sharp corners but harder to drive.

Ur right the the buggy felt good on the infield. It would turn tight!!!!!! Real tight!!!!! Jumped good and level. Very quick to transion from left to right hand turns. No pushing at all. I thought about taking steering out by the radio. I never had a b4 turn like this turned!!!!

Now this might be dumb but what color of springs would I need for the buggy front an rear without buying the package sets?
I got the black front and white rears.
I need green ft an green rr. What else do I need and for the b44.2 stock is blue ft and white rr for springs?

The losi BK bar with an AKA red foam seems to be the ticket, last race TQ was a C4.2 with the same tire. running factory weight, 1 7g in each rear triangle and 14g behind the servo. battery is almost full fwd

you might try running trimmed rear inserts on your front barcodes too
I run a short lipo all the way forward, 7g weight in each rear triangle. My car is on the borderline of having too much steering
