Default B-Max4 Grass lipo set up

Hi Guys,

I ran my car at Oswestry yesterday, on a very worn grass track, at the 2nd round of the BRCA national champs. I finished 2nd.

Below is my set up from the event. I'm sure you will note that all of my settings are quite similar however, I wanted to make you aware of what we had done in regard to lipo settings, now I have my proper Reedy lipo cells on board.

We have added some extra weight back into the car- we have placed a 45g lead strip under each saddle pack, cut down to the size of the footprint of the saddle. This means an additional 90g to the car in total. The running weight of the car is bang on 1800g, and though this sounds heavy, extra weight really seems to suit the car, it was designed around being heavy.

Rather than softening the rear of the car as we did through the winter when running larger lipos, we simply added weight and therefore left the shock settings as when running on NiMh batteries, however at the front end of the car, we moved back to the inner hole on the wishbone as the level of grip on the track yesterday was quite low as there was a lot of dust on track. I still feel on high grip surfaces, the outer hole on the wishbone is much better.

Hope this is useful to you.
Tom
