Which Losi shocks for a B44?
 

I have a set of Losi shocks from my S2, but does anyone know if they will be the right length for the B44 or will I need to purchase new sets??


Thanks :)

It's the same ;)

I use XXX-CR shocks on my B44 and my S2 ;)

Great, thanks!

I'll second that, i use the Losi shocks from my X6 on my b44 which should be the same as your S2 ones. :)

Thanks :)

and the point is

I prefer Losi shocks....Pinky :)

thats a bit Bi dont you think- AE car losi shocks

id rather be straight and run AE with AE shocks even in pink its more straight than your bi love match

I like to dabble...lol

Look at my bastard S2 and X6 then....mixture of AE, Losi and a 3rd party...all into one

Like a 3-way gangbang of carbon and shock oil.

Your bi-ness is rubbing off on me :D

Any of you guys using Losi shocks on your B44's fancy posting some pics of the mounting?

And, letting me know what shock settings you are using if you run indoors?

Thanks :)

You just put losi shock bushings mounts on the tower instead of the ae ones and bolt them straight on, theres nothing to it,

I think silver or green front spring with red piston/35wt in fronts and pink rear spring with blue/30wt in rears is a good starting point to try?

you want some bi mounting picks do ya

Mike - Great help as always :)

Millzy - Wrong...oh so wrong lol :D

That might be too soft Mike; i'm running 40wt with red pistons and green springs on the front and 35wt orange piston and pink springs. This set up worked well indoors with mini pins on a polished floor and carpet, although it felt quite soft!

hope this helps :)

what was pidge running at talywain?, as he had losi shocks on his b44

Whats the difference between red, blue and orange pistons (other than the colour.....)?

I have red and orange pistons here....would they be ok? or is the blue piston a MUST?

Thanks :)

the size of the holes in them

yeh, it's the size of the hole.

Red has the smallest hole and blue the largest hole, with orange in between.

I would have thought blue would be too soft. :)

I always thought it went...

#60 natural (very very small)
#57 black
#56 red
#55 orange
#54 blue (biggest hole)

Cris - run the following
Front
Red Piston, 35wt oil - Silver Spring (inside hole on wishbone for more steering - outside if you want less)

Rear
Orange Piston, 27.5wt oil - Pink spring (inside hole on wishbone)


Blue pistons were always used in the back when you wanted to go with the 'no pack' setup to ride bumps, this did compromise landing jumps, but it floated over the bumps really well (rear)

A XX4 can also get away with Blue pistons due to the longer shocks and magic that happens back there..... :woot:
