Hi everyone, on the off chance i went to watch a round of the Schumacher indoor offroad racing and instantly wanted a car of my own so i went out and bought a B4 ready to run, i thought i could upgrade it as i get better. I am from Chesterfield and ive been looking for a club in my area on the net, to not much joy i might add. So i was considering giving up and keeping my car as a shelf Queen! I have been putting a few upgrades on it like anodised parts and carbon parts so it looked cool on the shelf, anyways, i have put it back together and the rear shocks are not working properly, when i compress them they will not return to their original state, any ideas would be appreciated!
To cut a long story short, like i said i was going to give up but then i came across this site and it is a well of info for some1 just starting out like me.
One more thing, does anyone know of any tracks i can practice on, cos my skills are not what you would call silky!!! - been to Deerdale over Mansfield way, that track swallowed my B4

Thanks for any help

Sounds like you got air in them mate. If you bleed them as per book you shouldn't go far wrong. As for local racing, we have an indoor club in mansfield on wednesday evenings. We have classes for buggies and touring cars. Quite a few B4's turn up most weeks so you could hone your racing skills and get some tips on set ups.
