Hi guys, I see from the other threads that more and more people are getting their b4 vegas, and that is good
Meanwhile, I have had a chance to test the car at my local track, and so far I am really pleased.
I am aware that not so many have tested the b4 vega that much yet, but maybe someone with a more general knowledge can help me in the right direction.
As mentioned, the track I run on is an astro-track, where parts of the track is quite bumpy.
I have more or less used the setup that nick posted on petitRC, and in the rear I have green springs, 35 oil and ghea tapered pistons (#2, I think).
I am a little confused on the rear shocks, as on my B4s I have mostly used silver springs and lighter oil (30 or even 25), now the "PetitRC" setup suggest softer springs and stiffer oil... ) I see scotty suggest 30 oil and silver springs, so that might be the direction to move then?
Now the question is that on the bumpy section, the rear end does not seem too settled, I started out with the ground clearance a bit too low, so the chassis bottomed a lot, but today I was slightly above "arms level", and it seems the chassis is not hitting the ground, but I "lose" the rear end in the high speed bumpy parts.
I compare with my sons' b4s, and they are a lot better in that section (but the vega is much faster in the sharp turns
), and they both run silver springs and 25 oil.
So what direction shoud I go? Lighter oil, or stiffer springs (as I feel the b4s works better..) I currently have no weights under the lipo. Would that help the issue?
I see that I also have tendencies of traction roll at the end of the straight, especially as I raised the rear.
Looking forward to even further improve the handling of this nice car
