I realise that this is not a set-up as such, but this website (http://users.pandora.be/elvo/) has some incredibly usefull information for all makes of car (not just AE) and explains things quite clearly if you use the "buggy set-up guide" on the left of the page :)

Well last night was my local indoor club racing night where I run my B4. Its a small twisty carpet track that has one straight usually of 40-50ft. Its usally good racing and my buggy goes ok. But last night it just didnt want to turn in at all under power,early mid corner. To the point where I was have to try and hook the break and skid it round the tight corners.
Does anyone have any setups/tips/ideas infact anything :eh?: for a small, tight indoor track on carpet. Jump wise there are only two small ramps which are no problem.
Thanks:(

How much antisquat and what wheelbase are you running? In those situations I'd either increase the antisquat or make the wheelbase longer.
PaulRotheram
17-02-2007, 11:07 AM
few suggestions-
increase wheelbase
25 degree caster blocks
harder rear spring - this makes a huge difference, take it easy as the rear end will want to pivot more.
higher antisquat

How do you achieve the super short wheelbase on the b4?

Stick to a standard type of setup, Ash's one is nowhere near to what most people run, it's probably going to be more twichy and difficult to drive than the normal one.

How dare you its not twitchy at all i hate twitchy cars i like a smooth car.

Southwell
25-08-2007, 12:25 PM
25 deg blocks make it twichy, along with short wheelbase, etc etc. Plus isn't Bury astro not grass?
Im not trying to be harsh but if it was that good of a setup everyone would have something like it? I just said to keep the setup more standard than trying something completely different.
ashleyb4
25-08-2007, 12:28 PM

25-08-2007, 12:34 PM
I started with yardys setup that he gave me then all ive done is changed the front shock oil to 35 from 30 and changed front shock possition as i was suffering from understeer.

hey guys, wouldn't it be a good idea to also mention what kind of track these setups are for.
I mean, often the name of the track is mentioned buht since I am from Belgium, it is very difficult for me to discover what kind of track it is about: mud, sand, grass ...
It's not always mentioned on the bottom of the setup-sheet.
Or maybe if possible, just posting a resume of the different tracks, with some pics and track-description? That would be awsome!

I'm sorry. Maybe it is my lack of English but I do not understand in "B4 link is pretty detailed" what you mean by "B4 link".
Besides, most of the setup-sheet-links do not function anymore. I have tried them all, searching for a grass-setup sheet for wet and dry conditions. I could only find a dry condition-setup.
Did I overlook something in this thread?

Most of the time we change very little if anything on the b4 in the wet just the tyres we change from schumacher yellow mini spikes to Ballisitic green spikes on wet grass.

silver spring
middle hole at top
inside at bottom
1degree of antisquat

13-12-2007, 09:35 PM
to stiffen up the front end ashley.. and to make it easier to drive.. or give it less roll.. or make it less reponsive, or even more responsive on some occasions, multiple answers!
Errr ashley cos it works . simple really hehe. I should of said that is wot i run indoors. Outdoors i go to 35 in the front. And if im strugglin for some front end grip i just go down to silver springs on the front. Spose everyone is different.
ashleyb4
13-12-2007, 09:44 PM
Yea i run 35 outdoors but 40 indoors that seems bit stiff to me personally i dont like 35 indoors. But in my cr i run 35 indoors and i really like it its personal prefferance though. Give 30wt a go though it is good.

Does anyone have a document or a word about the more advanced elements of a set-up? Such as the effect of a change of position of the inner ball stud or ball stud on the hub. I know the effect of the length of the camber link more or less, but I'm searching for a document that explains really everything there is to set-up a car.
I tried the Hudy set-up book but it doesn't come close to the total amount of possible adjustments.

Thanks, problem was solved already:lol:
Following the 2008 EC, I got two questions:
The track was the same in layout but the surface seems to be not as smooth -as far as I can remember) as in 2005, do B4 drivers use the same set-up? What did they change?
Here is a picture of the track surface:
http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4136/cimg1833gr8.jpg
The other one is in regard of Hupo Honigl B4 equipped with Tamiya Shocks, as mentionned by Jimmy. What does that change, is there any influence on the car handling? Is there any influence on the global car setup?

Hello,
Does anyone have a B4 setup for Eden Park Raceway from the last national, that they would not mind sharing?
Thanks:)
Chris Doughty
21-07-2008, 04:17 PM
Arn0 - Hupo is factory Tamiya, it makes sense for him to put as many Tamiya parts on it as possible.
I think Bradders and Neil proved that it was not essential to do that
V-Rossi
21-07-2008, 04:57 PM
Hayato Matsuzaki did it as well during the Worlds 2007, using Hot Bodies shocks on his B4 and anodising some parts to give it the purple 'Hot Bodies' look.

I used the following courtessy of Andy Carter, which made the car feel great, shame my driving wasn't :(
Front:
Blue Front Spring
35wt oil
Number 2 piston
Rear:
Silver rear spring
30wt oil
Number 1 piston
Middle on Tower
Inner on Wishbone
1 deg Anti-squat
Med wheelbase
cells in forward position
10g weight on the servo can help
Middle on Tower
Inner on Wishbone
Camber links as per kit
Make sure you have weight in all the normal places (under the rear bulkhead / rear pods etc)
Thanks JCB,
I am new to off-road and the B4, where should I be putting the weight and how much?
Thanks

The weight goes in the rear between the gear case and the rear block where the anti squat spacer goes - it works out at four of the associated weights which is around 28 grams I think. The other weight goes in the rear triangles on the main chassis, ten grams in each seems to be most common. Some people also put ten grams in the small space in the front bulkhead bit. Hope that makes sense.

A quick query on wheels:
I have always used the wider type of front wheels on the B4, indoor with pins and out doors with mini spikes.
Does anyone use the narrower wheels and what difference does it make to the handling ??
Mike Hudson

Cheers mike how much did u ballast car due to lipo
depends how much the lipo weighs, you put enough weight under the lipo in so that the lipo is brought back to the same weight as 6 nimh cells

the wider wheels should make the car a little more stable than the narrow wheels but i guess the narrow wheels will give a little more bite

One word....why?? On the B4 I'm guessing?
Depends what pistons you have really.
Most xfactory drivers are running red all round 35/30 or 32.5/27.5 losi oils
Reason why I say "why" is because ive trialled Losi pistons Orange-Front and Blue-Rear in my B4 outdoors this year and struggled!
Local outdoor track to me is Southport which if you've been is very bumpy.
The standard no 2/no 1 pistons didn't seem to react quick enough when needed so I tried these.
Problem I found that you couldn't get a good setting easily, either too much grip or not enough. Most people run 35/30 with the AE pistons and I tried the same as a trial and it was awful. Did a test at home the other night and to get kind of near the same feel you have to go up 10weight heavier with the losi pistons.
Stook the AE ones back in as I know they work at the end of the day a trial is a trial I didn't like them!
In the B44 they work great though!!! Hummmmmm
millzy
10-06-2009, 10:37 AM
Runnig Blue losi pistons in the rear will give you less pack than a ae 1 - and there for you should go up 5w in oil (35)
same for the front a losi orange = ae 1 again you should go up 5w (40 ) to get the same dampining as a ae 2 on 35

I am after a bit of set up help on the B4, I am going to be running it on polished wood at Faversham on Schu yell full spikes, it has the generic B4 set up on it but I need more steering?
Any ideas on springs? Oils? I am thinking camber link location could be critical in generating some grip.

It's been a while since I last raced on polished floor, but from memory something along the lines of
Front:
30wt
number 2 piston
brown spring
Rear
25wt
number 1 piston
green spring
I am pretty sure the camber links were as per kit, maybe lowering the rear inner ball stud to get some more side bite, and using the extra short wheel base modification to get some more forwards drive and initial turn in. Depends a bit on where you want your steering, seem to remember moving the rear camber link to the inner hole on the hub carrier to, although I can't remember how that affected the handling.

Thanks for the set up JCB, tried it out last night and it was really good ! Just want to try short front link and raising inner ball stud to get some more steering but the set up above is a great starting point for others to try.

What springs/oil ar people using up at Worksop on the B4?
Has anyone got a decent B4 set-up for Bicester/Proline arena?
Car is 6.5L Novak Brushless with Lipo if it helps...
Rough set up for Pro-line dirt arena B4
Front
shocks No1 piston 30wt
w/b inside hole
tower mid hole
brown spring
rest is std set up
Rear
shocks No2 piston 30wt
w/b inside hole
tower inside hole
silver spring
mid wheel base.
rest std
would suggest softer motor if you have one 7.5 25/81 gearing or 8.5 26/81 gearing
hope this helps
Cheers for that, will give it a try.

Guys,
I am in need for an astroturf set-up for my B4FT. The track is very bumpy but without any larger jumps.
Also: I use slightly heavier Team Orion Molecular packs and I am not able to get hold of brass front bulkheads or similar stuff. Core RC lead weight is at hand so I can use this to balance/up-weight the buggy.
I looked at the set-up sections here on oOple as well as PetitRC but I didn't found suitable information.
Thanks in advance

Dude the best place to look is CML website, they have all the team driver set ups, take a look at a grass set up on there, to be honest the B4 set up doesnt change alot, most of the time you just swap from Blue to Silver springs on the front.

No probs! Print a few off and you can tell from comparing the set ups they don't change a massive amount, the latest set up from Paul Bradby from Robin Hood Raceway will be good for grass set up as these are both high grip surfaces.
I would invest in a set of stagger rib tyres for the front too

Hi, Can you help !
Just bought a B4.1 and want to run it indoors on Carpet on a tight high grip surface with jumps, woops and a table top
I'm looking for a good starting setup, ie
shock setup/placement
camber links
Ride Height
Droop
Antisquat
basically a complete setup please if possible !
The control tyre is Shumy Yellow Minipins on the rears with either Minipin or Stagger Ribs in Yellow on the front both with medium inserts !
As said the car has just been built to kit instructions, will be running Lipo and a brushless system
Any help is much appreciated !

OK, so I'm still running 40wt in the front (purely because I didn't have any 35wt available) and I found the back end very unstable indoors (polished floor @ York).
Could the 'stiffer' front end contribute to this, or should I be looking elsewhere ?
'Twas a frustrating drive .... also thought I've maybe got too much torque in there. Running a Speed Passion 7.5 23/81, got the throttle exp trimmed down on the radio, and moved the esc profile down to something less aggressive.

A couple of things to note, If you're using the older B4 rear tower you should be in the middle hole as the tower is a bit wider. Also having the weight in similar places is important for the setup to work, basically 40g right at the front and 30g or so around the antisquat block. A few people have tried my setups but with loads of extra weight and wondered why it wasn't much good - keep it light ;)

Hi Rich,
I have a few questions about your set up for Chadderton.
Do you use Associated shock oils?
What rear toe do you run? You are running the kit hubs, what about the inboard toe?
I'll be giving this a go at Ardent this weekend.
Cheers,
James
Richard Lowe
13-12-2010, 05:42 PM
Mark - More washers under the front camberlink ballstud will dull initial turn-in slightly and give slightly more on-power steering.
Jamesy - Yep I always use AE oil, as for toe I run 3 degrees inboard and 0 degrees on the hubs. If you are running the kit 0.5 degree hubs just leave the inboard on 3 degrees and it'll be a little safer on power :)
Thanks for posting this setup, I'm glad I can start ripping your setups off again now you are back in the land of B4. Not sure its my laptop, but in the words of some Cannonball Runners driving into a pool, 'I can't see sheet, can you?!'..

Hi Richard,
thanks for your setup.
I would like ask you to post, if possible, the setup for the B4.1 on a astroturf.
The indoor track where I'll have races is created on a tennis area and the astroturf is slightly filled with some sands/gravel.
Do you have one to share with us, please?
During the last club racing some people was using the oil density very high, around 40wt/42.5wt. Why so high, please?
When I have a look on your setups the oil density is always around the range 25wt to 35wt.
I look forward to hearing news from you. :)
Thank you,

Hi Marco :)
I normally run pretty much the same setup on my cars on most tracks, my starting astro setup is just like the Chadderton setup I posted above but with 2 washers under the front inner camberlink ballstud and the rear shocks in the middle on the tower - other than those little tweaks it's the same.
It's only on unusual tracks (like the Petit) I make any major changes - in the case of the Petit track my car was exactly as the setup Paul's just posted :)

Just a quick question on your set-up for the B4.1
Your running no limiters in the shocks front and rear, are you also running the stock 4.1 front shock shafts, the 0.80 length ones?
Does this not give a lot of droop on the front of the car?

Hi Richard,
I hope you are well.
Thanks a lot for you advice for the set-up and the set-up itself. On the AstroTurf track I had a race and I went well. The 2nd place in qualification.
The car and me :-) went very well. I'm very happy.
I didn't use the inline steering but the standard one. The only changed was made to the rear spring, from the silver to the red one (blue is also a good choice). I tried silver in the rear but the car didn't enter well into the corners.
Now I'll have another important race on the same surface (the track will be created wide compared to the previous one).
Now I slightly changed the set-up, I moved from the trailing steering to the inline steering to test if the inline it will be better. I'll keep the same set-up with only this modification.
Why when I changed the rear spring the car entered in the corners betters? Is the inline a good choice? Any other suggestion please?
Thanks,
Marco.
Richard Lowe
04-03-2011, 11:30 PM
Hi Marco, sorry for the slight delay replying...
The in-line's are a little more consistent in general and make the car feel much more positive and agile.
I my experience the trailing steering blocks feel very numb turning in, have lots of mid corner steering and medium/high exit steering. The mid corner steering is a very good thing but I find the point they grip to be a bit vague and inconsistent.
The in-line blocks give more positive turn in, are less snatchy mid corner but have low/medium exit steering. In general the car feels more connected to the ground, where the trailing blocks feel a bit 'floaty'.
They are very much a love/hate thing for most people, you will be able to tell after the first couple of minutes running if you are going to get on with them or not. When changing to them don't forget to space the caster blocks to the back and move the ballstud on the steering rack to the back also ;)
Can you expand a bit about corner entry with the silver rear springs, what was it doing you didn't like, are you on a very high grip track?
lynx75
06-03-2011, 03:53 PM
Hi Richard,
thank you for your replied, you're helping me/us a lot.
I'll try the in-line steering next weekend for the Italian indoor championship.
The indoor track where I raced and I'll race next weekend is AstroTurf track within which there's sand. The grip is not comparable to the moquette, it is a medium grip track.
When I used the silver rear spring the car was slow and had less turning in, so I didn't have the opportunity to bite the corner entry, also the low corner steering.
When I changed to the red rear spring I felt the car more aggressive to enter and exit corners. I would like to send me set-up and if you would have a look should be better :-)
I'm sending you to your oople's e-mail my set-up right now. :thumbsup:
I look to hearing news from you.
Thank you a lot.
Marco.

I'm running a B4 on astroturf - it's a bit unusual in that it's indoors on a hard concrete floor (most unforgiving in crashes!).
I have a fairly standard setup on it - everything is more or less in the middle setting. Silver springs all round, 35wt front, 30wt rear. Outer 2 rows of minispikes removed from the rears, stagger rib yellow fronts. There are sheets of lead under the lipos and on top of the servo.
My two main issues are grip roll (high-speed corners) and on-power understeer (hairpins/low speed corners).
For the grip roll, short of balding my tyres or switching to green minispikes from yellow, I'm thinking of either shortening the rear camberlinks to reduce sidebite mid-corner (where it tends to roll), or else putting a washer or 2 under the rear camberlink ballstud?
Would more weight at the back of the battery dock help?
For the on-power understeer, I know I need more weight up front (no brass bits for me, just chunks of roofing lead), but what else could I do? I went to staggers to reduce grip roll, perhaps go back to minispikes? Richard Lowe commented somewhere that washers under the front camberlink ballstuds would give a little on-power steering, but I presume also take away off-power steering? Would lengthening the front camberlink help?
The car isn't far off, it's just a bit too on edge.

Richard Lowe
09-03-2011, 10:09 PM
I'm never too far away... :p
What tyres are you running on Marco? Stagger ribs on the front by the sounds of it...? You're best leaving staggers as a last resort on very high grip tracks, on anything lower grip they just arn't fast on a B4 in my experience.
I've been playing with heavier oils a bit recently, I've found with the same oil/pistons in them the V2 shocks end up feeling softer than V1's. Running the usual 30/35w the car feels too soft and flops around all over on higher grip and it is hard work on fast/slight direction changes like a chicane that's not quite a straight line through. Currently I'm on 45w/2/Blue on the front and 35w/1/Silver at the rear which is working pretty well, although I've not been outdoors with it just yet so I couldn't say if it would be too stiff for proper bumps.
Colmo - Try moving any weight you can to the front of the car, including moving to long wheelbase unless you are already there. Also how much antisquat are you running? Any less than 2 and the B4 pushes loads on-power. Get some limiters in those front shocks too, that'll stop all the weight going to the back when you step on the gas. How much toe in are you running on the back? If you are on the 4.1 kit standard 3.5 degrees drop it back down to 3, this makes a bigger difference than you'd think...
What happens to the car right before it grip rolls on you? Does the back collapse lifting the inside front wheel, or does the front grab and throw it sideways?
One more thing I tried last weekend that the US guys are doing that I really liked was the carbon rear wishbones. The new plastic is quite a bit softer than the old stuff, grab hold of the rear hub and try and twist it forwards and backwards... With the shock mounted as it is right at the front of the arm this flex will be contributing to the suspension quite a bit and not in a good way! I tried the new plastic and carbon back to back and the carbon felt much better. The rear felt much more planted and stable - it also felt to have much more grip yet the car didn't lose any steering :confused:
colmo
09-03-2011, 10:33 PM
Thanks Richard - I have some homework to do, as some of those things I haven't touched since I got the car 2nd hand. It's a vanilla B4 FT, carbon chassis and all (I've seen you posting how you preferred the carbon chassis over the plastic).
When it rolls in the fast corner after the straight, it's when the grip is coming up a bit (seems to be related to temperature) - coming out of the corner, the inside wheel might dance a little then it flips and spins in a barrell roll. Too much braking is also likely to cause a roll. (Now, I really just lift off, let the drag brake kick in, change direction, then hit the gas again.)
It does sometimes roll going into the straight - if I attack the corner with too much steering lock.
I'll be running the car on a polished wood surface tomorrow (complete opposite), so will investigate during prep.

Hi Richard,
thank you for your kind support, much appreciate.
You're right. I'm running on Stagger ribs on the front, I never tried any other front tyres on the Astroturf indoor tracks.
This weekend the tyres are under controlled, we could using on the rear the MiniPin Yellow and on the front we could using Stagger ribs yellow or MiniPin yellow.
Right now I'm writing on a paper the changes I'll do this Saturday, to be ready for Sunday:
- Learn the track
- Starting from the set-up I sent you on your e-mail address with Stagger ribs front/MiniPin rear (1 set)
- Starting from the set-up I sent you on your e-mail address with MiniPin front /MiniPin rear (2 set)
- Changing on 45w/2/Blue on the front and 35w/1/Silver at the rear with tyre (1 set)
- Changing on 45w/2/Blue on the front and 35w/1/Silver at the rear with tyre (2 set)
Do I droop the rear degrees back to 3, please? Or I keep it as it is.
Are the carbon rear wishbones already available?
Thank you in advance.
Marco.

You need a little bit of weight around the rear toe/antisquat block behind the lipo, I use a Trishbits brass block. No other weight needed, whatever you do don't add any to the front (brass bulkhead ect) as it makes it really unbalanced.

There really only two different tyres used by most B4 drivers (in the dry).
We normally opt for a 2wd minispike in yellow or the new cut stagger rib. In either instance we'd use the standard front wheel (not narrow).
The difference between the two is primarily the amount of turn in you will get. If you choose the minispike option and then have two much turn-in, then you could always cut the outside row off.

the stagger ribs do you mount them the whole width of the rim or to the inner rib?

to be honest pal i always use the slim front wheels,cougar sv slim wheels are perfect this is what im using with the new cut staggers on my b4.
i race at batley and these are sorted for that track.:thumbsup:

does anyone know where bradders b4 grass astro setup is posted? Also will gluing the servo saver make steering a little more consistant over the bumpy stuff?

Hi
I copied your bottom SC10 setup exactly except for the tyres and I only had 40w oil to rebuild my shocks due to a shortage at the shop.
I'm loving it, very happy. I will get some new tyres soon but as the car is only for bashing I think there will be very little I will change about it.
I also didn't have the weights you've used so made some and added a little to the left of the car to balance it left to right and then screwed 40g to the front shock tower until I can get some sticky weights or something a little more FT!
Thank you for sharing it and allowing me to copy it as I bought it 2nd hand and have never owned a SCT and had no idea were to start.
Happy days.
Looking forward to getting it down the local track.
Oh and one other thing I will experiment with is the gearing. I have an 82 spur and 18 pinion on a 5.5t (5.5t is all I had) and it seems ok for now but I also have an 87spur and a 19 and 20 pinion.
Any combo of them you would suggest?
Thanks
Phil

Hey,
I'm looking for a basic astroturf setup for the T4 - can't find anyone at petit.
So does anyone has one?
Can anyone explain what the limiters detailed on the set up sheets are and what the number signifies I.e mm etc. B4.1 shocks.

00.30 limiters
They are the same size as you will be using for your ball studs although in plastic not metal.
Each 00.30 is 1mm from memory
Part number is As4187
Hope that helps.
Reasons for fitting them to limit down travel, stop driveshafts popping out and also you normally run them as a tuning aid on smooth tracks
Quick explanation to be honest in b4 most tracks its 00.90 in front so x3 spacers and 00.30 in rears so one spacer each side obviously :thumbsup:
Stick with what most others run you won't go wrong unless your using other parts not as factory fit.

Carpet setups do you mean?
Who attended? Any AE drivers?
I'm sure that the carpet setups won't change much to the outdoor ones other than 5-10w heavier oil all round
Outside on all arms I'm guessing
Rear inner camber link lifted higher
And maybe a row or two of the tyres all round
Best carpet setup I know of which is very rarely changed by me is bradders petite 2011 setup for b44.1
Try it it's good!
Keep an eye on the petite site for setups

Hello guys, has anyone run the c4.1 on dirt much and can share results/setups.
I know the factory guys revert to the b4.1 (based on rear motor weight of course) but is this really necessary and is the c4.1 competitive on dirt?
Richard Lowe

Tom Yardy is probably the best person to talk to as he's run the car on dirt before (at the euro's I think).
You really are better running the B4.1 on dirt, as a few people found out at the oOple race mid motor is a real handful!

I was one of the idiots that tried a C4.1 at the oople, I was pitting with Rich and he spent the whole time laughing at my efforts trying to get that car round the track. It was great fun but in no way was it fast.
To say it was a handful is an understatement! Stick with the B4.1 for dirt - I will be!

I enjoyed using my c4 at the oople nd thought that is was fun and really easy to drive.i would even say that it was easy to drive.but wether it was the fastest (i was in the g lol) i dont no but i enjoyed dribing,it at the oople.

ok, so do the good guys here have a pretty base setup for the c4.1 for astroturf?
Also a b4.1 setup for dirt?
Im after BASE setups that you guys use as a strating point at most tracks..
Thanks very much in advance for the assistance!:thumbsup:
I should clarify, as it sounds as though I am being lazy and not going through setups. I have been through and there are a lot, I am really after what you guys would consider to be a "BASE" starting setup for both cars. I have changed brands so would like a good base to begin with.
The b4.1 is mainly on a track that is quite open but loose and bumpy.
I think I should be ok with a C4.1 setup for astro from Bradders/Cragg/Yardy?
Cheers guys and really hope it doesnt make me sound lazy, as I really appreciate the assistance.

Just a quick questions gents.
Having stripped my spur gear yesterday want to make sure I'm getting the most out of my gearing, before I rebuild, but not really sure how the gearing ratios work.
I'm running a 8.5 sensored in a C4.1, on all astro high grip track.
What are the best gearing options?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Krob.
Just a minor query basically! Whenever I try and read the PDF's on an iPad/iPhone the annotations never come across, which basically render the PDF useless, I can however look at it normally on the PC or mac running adobe reader or preview respectively...
I havent tried the Adobe App yet, but it might be something worth looking into, as I really liked having the PDFs on my phone/tablet when trackside, rather than carrying a big folder around in my hauler :-)
Obviously a simple solution is to 'print them off' but I HATE doing this!
just my 2 cents...
:lol:

If you get the adobe app you can then save the pdfs to the app and the anotaions will appear.

Darren,
Gearing C4.1 - it depends on the make of motor and how you set your ESC, but on a typical Bury track try 81 spur with 25 pinion. That should be fast enough on the straight without being jumpy on the infield.
