B44 outdoors setup?

[Mike Hudson]

Can anyone help me with what would be a really good setup for outdoors on astroturf/grass with the B44 for dry and wet conditions please?
Many thanks for any help in advance.

Maybe tell the people what you are running now?

Sorry not thinking, tired after a day at batley in the snow
Currently running:
Front 40wt/blue springs no.2 piston with no limiters on inside tower hole and inside lower hole
Rear 30wt/silver springs no.1 piston with 3mm limiters on outer tower hole and inside lower hole
Inner holes on front and rear topdecks, middle hole on rear hubs, outer on front hubs and rear hole on steering rack with 3 washers
Running a short wheelbase on the rear and running the car just a little lower than wishbones level front a rear when cells are in.

Hi there,

Explaine what the car is/is not doing that you would like to change? That way it may be easier for people to help with setup suggestions....

Recall Richard Crew saying to pick up a BJ4WE setup for grass was working well!

Need some confirmation there!

[Mike Hudson]

My car needs alot of work on the bumby bits on the astroturf, it was thrown into the air easily and I just couldn't push it as hard as a few of the other b44 that were there

Mike i think the losi pistons would work well in the b44, they smoothed out the BJ4 loads, it was like a different car

30wt losi blue rear with silver spring
40wt losi red silver spring front

middle hole on the rear tower and inside on the wishbone

front was inner on tower and outer on the bone


This will put you there or thereabouts

[Mike Hudson]

Thanks Lee will try it next week if I can go to bury or batley

Sometimes you just have to slow down......

I had to slow down more than others this is why I brought it up,

[col300]

have you tried lifting it up a bit. i had the same prob first time out with mine. same setup but with 35wt oil in rear. kept throwing itself out on some bumps but lifted it up a bit and then it was fine.

Currently running it on 30wt at the rear now so i think your setup is pretty much there or there abouts.

[Tom3012]

when i ran mine at southport i used it as per the manual... just upped the oils by 5 front and back and changed the rear spring to silver....

was pretty damn good i thought... although that was only my first run with it, hope that helps?

To me it sounds like your suspention is a little stiff and that could be causing the bouncing. Try going down in weight on the oil this way the shocks will move up and down more freely and keep the buggy from bouncing all over the place on the rough areas. Just a thought.

IS THIS A TRICK QUESTION ???????????


That's an impossible question to answer, because you have TOO MANY variables - grass, astroturf, dry, wet....conditions.

There is no set-up for all of that.

[Mike Hudson]

I never said I wanted just 1 setup to do all i was after contributions to the different areas if people have changed setup for the different conditions saying so would be helpful to what they've done, your post has been the least of helpful

There is on the BJ4

Given how similar the cars are I can't see a reason why it wouldn't apply also, all I do with my BJ4 now is change tires for different tracks
