I haven't raced a spec/stock class in years but my rule of them even back then was that if it made your car faster, leave it on the car. That being said, I attempted to lighten the load any way I could. I even attempted removing the case for my receiver. Swiss cheesed a chassis as an experiment at one point too. Car was constantly full of dirt.

easy : nimh battery vs lipo 2400 is a weight loss of a few 100gramms
don't bother with the rest... (even 5900 lipo vs 2400 lipo is a significant weight loss)
that beiing said one of the fastest guys around our local track has a very heavy B44 and still manages fast laptimes...

Hi Ray, i'm running at Ryde in Sydney so i suspect our surface is similar.
here a link to check it out

I definately need to improve my technique and am looking forward to sme more practice. I've been shown the jump braking technique and will practice x 100.
I've got a B4 RTR kit I bought 5 years ago abd have added tekin RS and Redline 17.5.
I'm pretty sure the springs are black.
Do you recommend I buy the optional rear spring Associated Part # ASC1582
rebulid the rear shocks with 30wt oil and then experiment with different springs?
Is it worth going to the factory team shocks with the adjustable threads? I'm happy for any suggestions thanks

you will need to check which piston and oil as well as the spring and ride height. The optimal spring and piston depends on many factors, but Id recommend green springs, #2 pistons and 25-30wt oil. Mount the springs to the inner hole on the arm and the tower, set ride height to ~24mm and you should be in the ballpark.
Good luck and have fun practicing your jumping technique!

I love my quick change setup. I'm running it front and rear. It makes it really easy to change tires during warmup if they don't feel just right

This is interesting. Look at the pic of the front spindle Of the SC10 RS. Its AE's version of the bearing in hub like prolines kit. If you look at the hex adapter it has SC molded in the hub. Is there a 2WD buggy version???

G'day, I run a b4 at Ryde also and find the green rear springs with 25wt oil perfect, you will need to go close to this to get any traction although the new track is getting better with time as it beds in. A little chassis slap is to be expected, won't damage the car unless you really case it out hard on the motor.
Read back a few pages in this thread re discussion on Kyosho and Durango springs, apparently they are a bit more progressive so will help you out a little. I'll be trying out the ranga springs this weekend (weather permitting!) so will let you know how I go...
