what shock oil
 

what shock oil should i put in my b4 shocks im runing it on short grass/dirt

Depends on how you like your car i use:
either
25 Rear , 35 Front
or 30Rear 35Front

Hope This Helps
John

whats best

I Prefer 30rear 35front outdoors :D

just run what the instructions told you. if you don't like the way it's running just ask the people your running with. i'm pretty sure someone will tell you. and, if your bold and get a bunch of different answers try one til you like one.

dont run what the kit says its for USA tracks and dosnt work

30 REAR
35 FRONT

is what all the uk team drivers start with

they may go up or down 5w to tune the the car

but you cant go wrong with 30- 35 blue front ,spring silver rear, number 2 pisons in the front , number 1 in the rear

the kits first setup is always a good starting point, no matter where you run the car. you get an idea of where to go from there.

4wdlover stop posting cr@p about a car you have obviously never owned and driven on uk tracks. The b4 has had thousands of hours uk testing and the team have come up with a basic standard setup that works well for uk tracks, and that should be the setup to start with. The kit setup for the b4 is orientated to low grip us dirt tracks that require fundimental diferences to our tracks ie springs n damping way too soft for our grip levels it simply does not work on high grip ae even mention that the kit setup is designed for dirt!

milzy has put up the fundimental shock settings for the uk
these were used by most uk drivers inc craggy pidge and bradders to name but a few! recently things are changing a little so as to improve still further a lipo car with no balast. but stick to milzy's advice and you WILL have a balanced car that works really well!

lmao, what/who/where the fuck is this? "...thousands of hours of uk testing". where in the fuck did you get that from? you do know that their setup is basically our U.S. setup as the foundation, right? and what kind of tracks are you referring too? when you said that the team has a basic standard setup that "WORKS WELL"? are you ALL running in grass? i don't think so.

i think i know a thing or two about the b4 when i race it here in california, along with my other rigs. or maybe your right, i don't know shit and drive the rig around with my tongue out the side. by the way we don't just have low grip tracks as you stated. do your fucking homework, fucking wanker, we have all types of tracks that could easily be matched to one of your tracks/grass fields in the uk.

you're the kind of fucking idiot i see at tracks giving bad advice to some poor kid and fucking up the poor kids rig. only to see it and not talk to the kid again. so please shut the fuck up and let the kid choose what he feels is right.

Anyone got a set-up please

I'm based on the moon so I'll be running on bumpy tracks !! :woot:

Easy tiger calm down with the language man there are kids read this forum.

Yeah quite your jibber jabber crazy fool! :woot:

and cleary your the type of person we see online swearing and going off the boil when there is no need. really why should we give you the time of day when you cant reply with out saying F every to seconds to a guy whos raced for years and dose know what hes talking about

where did he get his info from- most prob from the Uk team as Neil Cragg ( 2005 world 2wd champ) is in his region and also post his set ups online on the cml website

the grip levels you have in the US are way diffrent to what we get over hear in the uk- we dont run the same super soft tyres as you- and dont have the megga jumps you do or the hot weather it all plays a part- Travis came over one year and didnt do to well as he wasnt used to the grip level

holesnty if you came over and ran your set up you would find it didnt work- im asure you knwo what your doing but honesty it would be way to soft.

really the set up i posted is the UK teams starting set up - yes when they race in the USA they will run a diffrent set up- but on every uk track they WILL start with that shock oil set up

as all uk tracks are grass or astor - the only one dirt track is the PDA
and it is a new club just srated by Worlds A finalist uk team drive Lee Martin

next time you go off the boil mate
maybe YOU sohuld do your home work first

cheers for the support millzy!!

mullzy,please could you post you compleate set up on here or a link to it,im pulling my hair out trying to find a good point to start,it was on rails indoor on carpet,after going out side im not getting on very well,
thanks
mark

Ha ha, lmao. and i repeat again LMAO..

To publicly boast about knowing a thing or 3 about the B4, basically says your a typical racer, who's got all the gear and constantly gets ripped by 5 year olds..... I at least hold my hand up and admit it.

Steve pro racing, is a sponsored driver, who has support from the likes of Tamiya and Schumacher, He at the moment, is actually working for Schumacher as part of a dedicated team to get the most out of the cat sx.


Thousands of hours, yep the B4 in the Uk has probably had zillions of hours of setups in the Uk. This very forum allows Uk and International racers to compare setups and the is often frequented By F1 ( most are on here ) Uk grade drivers who race all over the globe.

Maybe you need to vent your frustration elsewhere .. :bored:

my appologies to the kids or anyone else that was affended by my choice of words. but when you have an idiot come in and comment on something because it didn't sit right with them, well, that's how you have to comment to get them to shut the f*&K up.

what cracks me up is two idiots coming to the defense of the originator of all this mess, and steveNOracing thanks them. why? what even blows my mind more is that he's "sponsored"? i hope someone from a manufactuer comes in and sees their so-called driver commenting and starting bullshit over...basically something small. boy you guys over in the pond have some different rules with your "sponsored" drivers and the way they act. over here you would never see such a thing, much less a driver like this idiot.

so, for the sake of the poor kid still waiting for a oil shock decision i'm going to leave this thread. thanks to steveNOracing for fouling it up.

steveNOracing if you have nads to take this to my PM, i'll be more than happy to welcome it.

amazing how people get brave on a forum!!:lol::lol:

Sod the pm, just come over and give us all a laugh at a race meeting on one of our 'english fields'. Bring some shock oil (that's 35wt and 30wt) and some blue and silver springs - if you have room in your luggage alongside that ego your carrying around :p

the kit set up will never work on any normal uk track,go to the cml web site and down load one of neil craggs or paul bradby's set up clicky

from 4wdlover via pm "
you fucking brits crack me up. you guys sure have some lip on you on the forums. i could guarantee that if we were face to face you would be back peddling your bullshit comment with a sorry. what's with the macho comment?? "
does he sound a little upset ?? :wub:lol:

Right- we have the lip


4WlOVER

i think you will find tht we helped the kid out in the best way
we gave him the starting pint for the shock - and belive me it will make his car handle sweet 99% of the time- in no way should that Kid still be waiting for a shock set up.

also knowing how friendly every one in the BRCA drivers are is if the kid is still having issues with his set up there will allways be some one to help out be it a regional or a national- and no it will not be bull advice.

why your attacking Steve i have no idea- all steve did was reply to your post where you said that the shock set up i posted was worng and that the kit set up would work

im sorry but your wrong this time, one for attacking steve for no reason- two on your set up advice and 3 for thinknig your a hard nut who could take the world on via and R/C forum

i think nows the time to stop relying to this thead- its gone from set up help to whos the biggest ass online.

Im surprised jimmy hasnt banned the californian for bad language. Personally the setup milsey gave is great and after all that setup came from cragg who won the world champs with a b4 and is obviously better than someone who hasnt a clue and lives in california with a bad language problem. Get a life.

sounds like a normal american to me , completley up there own ar#es and full of hot air :lol:

hahahahaha! this posts ACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

I can second the kit setup will not be ideal for our tracks.
although on dirt tracks it will be just fine.

Troll's are ace :lol:

4wdlover - I wouldn't threaten Steve, he's about 6' 4" and 250lbs!

Well after a great weekend in the sun at batley I had the back to work blues today. Reading this thread has just cheered me right up.....

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

PMSL @ 4wdlover - This guy can't be for real, SERIOUSLY!!!!

Lee, get Maifield to put him in his place, maybe he'll listen to someone like that - What a raging homo!

4wdlover is still busy humping his 4wd :rolleyes::lol:

I think Jimmy should set up a virtual boxing ring, and start doing pay-per-view, iv paid good money to see worse fights then this on box office lol!!
