Hi guys
Any chance anyone has a good bumpy grass setup?
When I say bumpy I mean lots of little bumps.would you call that rutted?
Many thanks

Slightly more weight does the trick or and slightly lower oil and spring.

Wings if you can find them and get them to work - LOL

Try using Kev's set up for wet astro and don't use a roll bar, that should be close. And reduce anti-squat, i use a 2 bobble shim.

Default My big bored Vega RB5 set-up for Grass.

Front.
Yellow 4.2lb spring
35wt AE oil
Tower= middle, Arm= outside
top link- Inside=Middle+2mm, Hub=Outside
30 deg kickup + thin shim
hubs spaced down and forwards- low hieght ball stud used on rack to maintain ackerman(no washers)

Rear.
Pink 2.3lb spring
30wt AE oil
Tower= Outside, Arm= Inside + LA43 on the shock bottoms for more droop
top link- Inside= 2nd hole in top row, hub= +1deg alloy, 3rd hole out+2mm
Anti-squat = 2 pip under RR block = 1.5deg
Wide pivots
Older 2mm wider axles NOT SP Narrow ones
1.2 roll bar

KO 2413, LRP SXX, kr302f, Orion 4500 Saddles, SP V3 7.5@25/78
155g 3mm stainless steel plate fitted under saddles

Yellow rear minispikes and yellow front cut staggers, Mr O foams, 21mm rideheight/level

to me it feels like it has loads of (well balanced)steering and very controllable on throttle slide not snappy, a pleasure to drive even when the grass has almost gone and the pot holes have appeared.
