well, I put the rpms on and drove my wheeler like i stole it. Many spectacular crashes and nothing even broke. Well i still need to go through the car tomorrow. One question though. How do I make it a lot less twitchy. Very hard to drive the car fast, way too responsive. I went to black springs rear and left the blues up front and I put a small pin and mostly wore out tire on the front trying to calm it down.

I like red front green rear or black rear and yellow fronts. 40g ballast battery forward. The inner camber link position on the top deck up front will calm it down to and may be the best first option money wise.

You can also add running the front ackerman hole to the list of things to try, not sure if your using the front or back hole.

Lower your dual rate. That will help tame it down and you can ease it higher as you get more familiar with it.

Yeah, get out of there and get back to the front hole
Less aggressive steering.

Do you have any slop fwd-back? I have about 1mm of movement.
Did you use more shimming other than the spacer?

yeah, things do seem more aggressive in the rear hole. I will give that and the inside upper front camber link a try. Getting used to 4wd takes a bit of getting used too. Not many outdoor setups to get a good base line. Trying to kick start a wheeler class here. That AE chassis tape is not going to last long. I am told an under tray might be good.

I was looking at setups and thought this might be close in track conditions and we are using the same tires. But man, do I really need front oils that stiff?

hi wildcat, last week i orderd the undertray for the b44.2.
It is also way better to fit het bodyshell with velcro on de sides.

by the way have you try first also the silver swaybar in front en put some glue on the outside of the front tires, especially carpet or high bite astro will also work.

Wildcat, I would try the Ackerman before the camber link. Not both at the same time. The Ackerman adjustment is a night and day difference. I've never felt the need to change camber link holes going from loose dirt to high traction clay. The only change I make is ackerman. I leave the rest of my setup the same, maybe remove ballstud washers from the front or rear depending on how I want the car to rotate, depending on available traction.
