XB4 2014 setup

[fivepointnine]

with petit being down, does anyone have a good baseline setup for bumpy, high grip astro?

Yes see this link and one of them is the 4wd and one is the 2wd.
I have made a mistake on the front pistons, they are 3 hole not 2.

Awesome, thanks!

Stu- What tyres work good on the front? I think I have seen other guys at Mendip run 2wd cut stagger fronts on the 4wd's, does that work ok? I also have a set of regular 4wd mini spike fronts, but I'm afraid that will give too much front grip.

For the dry yes use the cut staggers not the normal staggers. For the wet use Ballistic Buggy Spike in Green, 4wd tyre not 2wd.

Thanks for the setup tips! Drove it today (just practiced between rounds) and it was dialed, had the ride height a bit high (grip rolling some when really pushing) Overall really happy!

Also, try using a 2WD schumacher yellow minispike with medium insert stretched over a 4wd front wheel. All the guys at our track (TORCH) use those, me included and they work fantastic in the dry. You must use the insert or the tyre will dip in the middle. If you fins they have too much corner entry grip just trim the outer row of spikes off.

Yeah I had to trim a bunch of rows off the Ballistic green mini spikes for wet, just too aggressive for the front with the limited traction at the rear equals drift city!
