Depends on surface to be honest. My B4.1 is dialed on grass.

I'd love to see a TOP driver run two cars back to back, one rear and the other mid motor and compare the times :confused:

Get yourself some weights in there. AE ballast weight for the rear and rudebits under lipo and under servo weight;)
Rich Lowe put his in the 'A' at rhr, so see if he has his setup somewhere too look at too.

Put Factory team Carbon rear wishbones on it, the kit ones are wibbly-wobbly.

Glue the servo saver, or put on a fixed alloy steering set. I opted for the latter after breaking glued servo savers.

I don't think that richard lowe runs with much weight in the car griff. I'm sure he's a beleiver in running light chassis. I maybe wrong tho

Richard Lowe 17-05-2011 07:58 AM
I'll get my RHR setup posted in the setups section soon, I've actually started running a fair bit of weight in the car recently as an experiment - still not sure just yet :p

Usually I run the Trishbits front bulkhead (~40g) + brace (~7g) and antisquat/toe block (~28g) everywhere. At RHR I also had a Rudebits 72g under servo weight + 66g lipo weight.

As Chris has mentioned the carbon rear arms are a must on the B4.1, the new plastic is a bit too floppy there IMO. I've tried both back to back, the carbon arms just make everything better in general - more grip, more consistent and much better through bumps :)

What is the reason for gluing the servo saver.........:confused::confused::confused:

cheers :)

stops it unloading when cornering (which gives a vague steering feel).

will that not stop the servo saver from working :confused:

cheers :)

The parts that are v-grooved (and held together under pressure by the spring and nut) are glued together so they become a solid piece.

Yes it does stop the servo saver from working. TBH, I have never felt the need to do this but I do crank it up so its as tight as possible...

Hi richard!

I agree that they are floppy, but I found they give a massive amount of rear end grip. I swapped them for stiffer ones to get back some more steering into the car :eh?: (astro track)

Was even thinking of using the floppy arms on dirt tracks.

Did you ever try the difference between inboard and outboard toe-in?

In Finland IFMAR warmup, all the A-final cars were back motored. Even Losis, no cougars there. Cavalieri was fast as hell.

uijui 25-05-2011 04:49 PM
I think that fastest mid-motored was Jose (JQ), but he is just sick fast :woot:

Richard

you've just ruined my hopes of getting someone to finally get a "light" setup to work...

From my own experiences...a 2WD need to be a little bit heavy to be a great car, on every tracks.
The "light" weight setups from the Team Associated were, I think, a bad experience for Associated ( not so bad but...there is something wrong ).
1600 gr is a minimum for me.( or for common driver like me ) :)

flipside 16-06-2011 09:24 PM
I agree, there is no disadvantage at all to a heavier car. I does everything better: more grip, more stability, better in bumps, better in the air,...

1620-1650 is ideal I think
