Hi Jim,

Have a look at post number 88, at the moment I'm running the car like that with a couple of tweaks. The only changes are Orange/30w in the rear shocks and the steering link ballstud to the rear instead of the front.

At worksop last weekend I dropped 5w all round to 40/25w as the oil gets thicker in the cold

No your set up sheet has black rear springs on it. I tried this but silvers worked alot better for me.

according to the recommended setup in post #88, there is no mention of roll bars. under what conditions, if ever, do you suggest running them?

thanks

Hi Toby,

I know the AE lads run them on the rear of the B44, but I've never really liked what rollbars do to the car so never really run them.

Sometimes a front rollbar can calm the car down a bit on super high grip tracks but it's generally not needed

cheers Rich - thanks for the info

I run the thin black one on the rear of my car when racing inside, it actually kept the back end in line funnily...

Are the losi springs the same as the BJ4 ones?
I have switched my shocks to losi ones do I then go with the same as in the setups or do I have to change weights hights springs etc?

thanks
