b44 basics.

[danny the elfman]

hey, ive been trying to set up my b44 for indoor racing, mostly carpet, small part of the track polished wood. And i am unsure how to do some if the basic set up. So here is the plan.
Front suspension
no anti roll bar
-1 degree camber
0 toe
silver springs
2 washers
22mm ride height
Oil weight ??????

Rear suspension
silver springs
-1 degree camber
silver anti roll bar
std toe
20-21mm ride height
2 washers
Shock oil ???????

I was thinking 35wt front, 30 rear, but not sure. And is there anything else that needs to be revised? thanks for reading.

That sounds like it should be in the right area.

Just check the diffs, front slightly tighter than the rear.

If you need a little more steering try lowering the front inner ball stud add another 1 or 2 washers. 1/8 turn looser on the front diff is also another option to get it to steer a little more.

Try green springs on the rear if you need a little more at the rear of the car.

Are you running any additional weight?

thank you for the reply. Im running under lipo weights, they bring the batts (with wires),and lipo's to just under 400g.

You should be close to it then.

In terms of maintenance, keep and eye on the slop / play in the diff.
At the back of the car hold the diff between your fingers. If you can move the diff left to right, then you need to add shims, to bring it closer to the input shaft gear. If you don't you'll strip the gears in the gear box. (Same applies to the front.)
