Building shocks for the DB1
 

Need a few pointers for building the shocks for the DB1. Do you put any limiters in them at all, or do you just put them together with 450cst oil on the front and 300 cst in the rear and be done with it?

Cheers :)

No limiters in en outside.
3B pistons front and rear with 450 & 300

Job done, thanks :)

I use 450/300 too (35/25 Losi oil)
3b pistons silver front springs and either Dark Yellow or Yellow rears.

You could try 40 too upfront, it tames the front a bit.

I also bought some x orings (the ones delivered with the big bores shocks),
quite a difference in smoothness.

I also strongly recommend to use SP2 front end (wider block/shorter wishbones), the WC is too agressive for my taste on an already agressive car.
Good for a top pilot, too much corner entry that could led to mistakes for an average driver like me.
Thanks to my mate Fabs for that one.

In case grip is down a bit, remove inner rear links shims and use the next inner holes on tower for a more lay down shocks help to gain some traction.
I like Ballistic greens with a regular foam myself when the track is wet in the morning, that car didn't like wet with my throttle control.
Find a front tyre that reduce steering a bit, like a silver stagger LP.

Watch out for left right balance and use some lead if needed to balance the car depending on your motor/esc/receiver.
It helps keeping the car straight while braking.

Awesome car, always put a big fat smile on my face every time I drive mine :woot:

:thumbsup: cheers
