General car setups

[OneKiwi]

I was going to post this in the general section but thought Im not the interested in other buggys and it may differ so this is more for general durango car setups. 210 and 410

I know that setups are different from person to person but for a noob like myself whats the general setups, I mean how should it feel. This is mailny shocks I suppose,
I race with people that have been doing this at least half their lives 10-20 + years, this in now my 2nd summer racing and feel miles behind.

I am english speaking and living in Sweden so would be good sometimes to get things in english, might stick in my head that way

2WD fronts a bit harder than the rears but both feeling consistent

4WD is it the same or not as much of a difference between the F+R just the rears being a little softer

Thanks

My set-ups for a mediocre club racer (that's me) for a large mainly astro track medium to high grip are:-
210
Front 35wt, Purple Springs, 6x1.2 pistons
Rear 30wt, Light Red Springs, 6x1.3 pistons

410
Front 40wt, Dark Red Springs, 6x1.2 pistons
Rear 30wt, Black Springs, 6x1.3 pistons

Thanks Ill have a look at your setup, but Im not really after a setup just general advice that can be passed on to people even newer than me

I have the hudy set up book that is really nicely explained but is more to 1/8th 4wd off road, although some things can be applied to 2wd in some instances and to 4wd 1/10th.

Didn't associated do a book for their B4??

Found it here

Not sure about the 410 but to be honest the kits springs on the 210 are all u need. I don't get why people are running stiffer front springs when the car needs a bit more steering. But then I run without weight.

The kit setup is pretty good really.

I run stiffer springs to help stop grip role on our high grip track. Also, I like to use the in-line setting on my steering, so even with stiff springs I have more than enough steering. And, the stiffer rear compensates for the stiffer front - neutralising the effect of taking away steering.

When you mention in line steering do you mean the front axles? What is the effect of moving them back or forth?

Holy crap it must be grippy if u get grip roll. I've not managed it once yet.

I think In general most people run stiffer springs. I've not found a need for it yet personally.....I haven't even bought any yet lol. No doubt I will though lol
