So what oil / Piston combo are people using in their C4.1's???

I know the B4.1 worlds kit suggests to build the shocks with number 2 pistons in the front and number 1's in the back (I think thats right... working from memory there!)

However, the B4.1 is an american car and so I expect mainly set up for their smooth clay tracks... Im from UK so I race on propper offroad tracks with bumps and things on grass and astroturf - so should we be running slightly softer set up?

I've built mine up with the standard pistons and spacers, with 35 weight oil in the front and 30 in the back (using Losi oils) and have the Silver associated springs on the rear and Kyosho Silvers on the front.

Has anybody tried using 3 hole pistons on the C4.1 as most other cars use? Different oils? Different make oils? different springs?

Lets all get geeky and start talking shocks :thumbsup:

AE No2 front and No1 Rear is the norm going by most setups on cml's website its pretty much all the team use :)
