Default how to stop a bouncy b44

hey guys. Basicly my problem is when my associated b44 goes down the straight on our track, its bounces alot more bouncy than the other cars, it spends more time in the air than on the ground. What Suspension set up should i be looking at to stop it bouncing? Should i go stiffer or softer? Right now the rear has silver springs and 25wt oil, and the fronts are 35wt, green springs. Thanks for reading

i had the same problem too but mine was noticeable over the jumps as when it landed it'd bounce lol.
i switched lighter wt shock oil at rear from stock.and fronts are stock with 35wt oil.

The team drivers run. 30WT in the rear and 35WT in the front.That should help the rear from bouncing about,oh and bleed the shocks correctly, so when you push the shock shaft up ( with no spring) it should come out a little, not more than 1/4.


Thanks.

Your setup seems to be totally upside down.
I'd try

Front:
35Wt
Piston #2
1 Limiter
silver Spring

Rear:
30Wt
Piston #1
2 Limiters
green Spring

This should work..

Thought someone would if said this before. Balance your wheels matey like they do in 1:1 cars. i do it with blue tak as the weights. Makes shed loads of difference on how smooth she runs.

Won't that make the suspension too soft which results in the car botomming out?

Btw how high is the ride height compared to the other drivers?

I have never heard of doing this ever sounds interesting tho

me personally have just finally finished getting my b44.1 dialed in I am running yellow kyosho shock springs up front with 35wt oil and green ae springs rear with 27wt oil 87g lipo weight makes a huge difference I gave it a run out at our astro turf track today and it was flying. also run cut staggered on the front and nanobites on the rear the car ran very planted
