B44 Indoor Setup

[Chris Green]

Hello!

Just wondering how people are getting on with their B44's indoors? what setups are you using?

I ran my B44 for the first time yesterday, with a 5.5 brushless, on carpet / painted concrete.

I ran the kit setup, and found that I had loads and loads of steering. The car was very twitchy. All round, the suspension seemed pretty soft.

I didn't have chance to change any of the setup, but here are a few things I would consider trying;

1. increasing front shock oil.
2. cutting some rows off the front tyres.
3. turning the steering curve down on the transmitter.
4. Turning the steering rates down on the transmitter. Currently set so that the servo isn't straining at full lock.

Am I on the right lines? what should I try first?

Thank you,

Chris.

Lowering the rear ball stud helps a lot. How have you got yours now as the Instructions are a little bit misleading and I have seen a lot of people runing one washer under the top deck and one washer which isn't right it should be two under the top deck.

Stuff your doing sounds a bit like what I did with mine, I went to silvers all round, stiffeened up the oil and also put some extra spacers inside the shocks to get rid of a bit of droop and also stop the driveshafts popping out.

I race on full carpet and mine seems to be great, although I am running staggered ribs on the front to save my tyre budget . staggered ribs have only been a recent additon though and I was running full minispikes all round it was nowhere near twitchy.

Ps I am running full lock on my transmitter and the curve is set to 0%, so linear.

ballstuds in the outside holes as low as you can get them.
40w rear red spring 1 black washer on the outside of the shock to limit up travel.
35w front blue spring
drop it like its hot now its hard ya wont get much roll.
and down 2 teeth.
and dont cut any spikes off ya tires.
