Right, well the setup i started off with was

BMax2 MR v3

Front
35wt oil
1.6 x 2 pistons
2 shock limiter washers (i think they are 0.8mm each)
White associated springs
Front camber link, inner middle, inside on hub carrier
Shocks middle hole on wishbone, inside on tower
Yellow cut staggers LP

Rear
30wt oil
1.7 x 2 pistons
2 shock limiter washers
Green Associated springs
Rear camber link on inside on the camber block and inside on the rear hub
Shocks middle hole on wishbone, inside on tower.
3k diff oil
Yellow Minispikes

Shorty down the middle with 50 grams under lipo

so throughout the day i ended up making a number of changes. The car suffered with a lot of under steer into the corner which required the brakes to make the back end come around but then as soon as the power was applied the back end would break abruptly.

The changes that i made throughout the day were as followed

i shortened the front camber link

lengthened the rear camber link by one hole

car felt a bit too soft all round with the front end collapsing too much so i went stiffer on the springs to blue front, grey rears (Associated)

I also went up quite thick in the diff oil (20k) following some advice and this did make the car safer to drive out of the corner and made the car feel safer in general. not a massive change but a positive one at that.

After all these changes the car was a bit easier to drive but it was still to slow getting into the corners and still not squaring up well enough out of the corners in order to accelerate away safely.

Although it was a frustrating day im going to persevere, it would be much to easy to race my bmax4 iii which is tremendous pretty much everywhere

For the next meeting i think im going to get a ball diff installed and maybe try minipins on the rear. Im also going to try the heavier front bulkhead to see if that helps with the steering. Im reluctant to try anything more aggressive than LP cut staggers on the front of the car as i saw other cars with them on and they where getting round really well.

So thats where im at, if anyone has any help, tips, or a good setup for slippy using the car in mid motor it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Minty
