suspension help oil/piston ?

[shaun m]

hi :thumbsup: on my xb4 :wub , at the front i'm running 2 hole 1.4mm pistons with 30wt oil , but im thinking of going back to 3 hole 1.3 hole and 30wt oil , to get a subtle / slightly softer feeling ..

or should i keep the 2 hole and drop to 27.5wt oil ...

whats best to get a very subtle setting ...

cheers :woot:

What are you trying to achieve? If you can describe in terms of how you want the car to be different at what point in the corner (entry, mid, exit) or over what types of surfaces/jumps I should be able to advise.

Best advice though ... swap the Xray for a Lazer :)

Shaun

2 hole 1.5 and 1.6mm respectively 32.5 front 27.5 rear!
Works well at TORCH and was smooth indoors at Silverstone as well!

For more pack you can try 2x1,3mm and 30wt (UR).

worst advice

xb4 is a great car, for a newcomer to the 1/10th 4wd battleground its showing some impressive results

thanks for all the replys , i'm just after a bit more bite coming out of the corner , and also for it to ride the shallow bumps a bit better too , for torch on sunday :woot:

Shaun try the 1.6, 1.5 2 hole it works and rides the ripples nicely at Torch.

That's good advice Chris ;)

It would be Glen it was your setup and no complaints awesome on ripples, jumps and cornering!:thumbsup:

its all done and sorted , and ready to ride the ripply road !!! :woot: :thumbsup:

In touring I was taught a simple theory, oils effect initial turn in, then its springs for mid corner.

all sorted :thumbsup: ran it on sunday with the 3 hole pistons all round and 30wt front oil and 22.5t in the rear and it was spot on :woot: it rode the ripply bits alot better than before ...
