Where do i start, What things do i buy ??

[russmini]

Ok, very shortly will be getting a B4, so now i suppose i'd best start to think about Set Ups...

What do i Need to Buy ?

Tyres
Wheels
Springs
Shock Oil
Shock Pistons

And anything else you might know i'll need.

I will run at Kiddy and Proline when it opens. Plus some others probably..

So... Suggest and Recommend away... Please.

Tyres for kiddy are schumacher mini spikes yellow if its really dry and ballistic buggy spikes green if its damp or wet. Wheels you could proberly do with a few sets of wheels and inserts to. As for springs its generally silver rear and blue and silver fronts. Shock oil yes normally a good selection 25 30 35 40 are a good start. pistons are incuded in the kit.

a good place to start is with tires! so a set of yellow minispikes and some ballistic greens, 2 sets of wheels n remember to get foam inserts a medium compound one should be a good start. as ashley said they're the springs to get n in regards to pistons stick to the kit ones for now till you get a feel for what your driving style is telling you to do. shock oils are always good to have say a range from 30 to 45 will see you right in most places. and for you second track the tires you get in the kit may be a good start.

would recommend front bulkhead/wishbones/shocktower.allways usefull to carry a few of these in pitbox unless theres a shop at your chosen tracks.believe me,ive sold loads of these at tracks in north east/west.many thanks jez.

good point! spares are a god send!

[Belsten]

also worthwhile having a pair of silver front springs for Kiddy when damp/wet

They used to be, but the latest one I built (in 2007) only had 1 pair of #1's and 1 pair of #2's included. But considering the pistons that come with the kit are right, there is probably no need to buy the piston kit.

Cheers guys.

Whats best for Wishbones, Graphite or 'Plastic' ???

[Mike Hudson]

the graphite i used to find little brittle compared to the plastic as the plastic ones give more flex and the car is just generally a little more forgiving with all the parts being plastic and it's cheaper when you break parks or need to replace them

[russmini]

Thought i might get an answer along those lines. And should've really guessed it would be from you Mike.

Cheers.
