Default That really good setup that everyone talks about but ive never seen.

I have heard loads of people talking about a setup that works pretty much anywhere on the xx4. But where can i find it. As i want a good starting setup as i need to get the xx4 dialled in for a grass track. And this is the first time ive raced it off road. And i dont have any track time before the event with it as i am getting a brushless system the friday before so i have a day and i wont have time to go down the track to get it sorted. And i havent got time to solder the bruhsed setup in either.

Look on racechat, the setup is there. If you can't find it, look harder.

Try this Ash.

Only change might be to drop the front oil to 35wt (Also oils should be LOSI, as AE isn't the same)

I sold several bottles of shock oil at tiverton, truman senior was available to tell people about the 5 wt difference between losi and Ae oils, however the deciding factor on purchase was the fact that AE oils are 50p cheaper.
