What would make the car nose dive since fitting big bores? Before it handled perfectly and now drives over jumps constantly nose diving? I'm running blue dark blue, and 45wt in front and 35wt in rear and same pistons as frauds running, handling is fine just over jumps constantly wants to go on it's roof and you need to give it full beans to get it right.

after looking at the setups from the drivers at the pre-worlds, i noticed the drivers using big bores used significantly lighter oil wt.

maybe some else with currently using the shocks will chime in, but take a look at those setups :thumbsup:

i found that i had to go lighter in oil but kept the same springs when i fitted the big bores. As my track is a fairly bumpy track they made a massive difference in handling well i thought so anyway (take placebo pill now).

Yes so much better than standard shocks!!!! The front collars were screwed down to much! Jumps as it used to now.

How the collars are adjusted makes a massive difference in how the car drives compared to the standard ones

Any other tips from any other lucky owners of the biggies?

Got it running pretty sweet now thanks to craigs input, just wondered what others have found that works for them!?
