Here's the basic setup I run outdoors

Front:
blue springs
35wt oil
middle mount on shock tower
inner hole on wishbones
trailing arms

Rear:
silver springs
30wt oil
midle on shock tower
outer on wishbones
Battery placement front (ie foam at the rear)

I'm sure that there are better setups than this, but it's not a bad place to start

Rear:
silver springs
30wt oil

Checked paul bradbys outdoor setup and he runs silver front springs and so an altered setup to yours, is it just worth running the blue front and making the setup different from currently.

Looking at B4's starting on Sunday and nearly all were running Blue front & Silver rear, obviously a good place to start. (Silver front is next in weight from Blue, so just a slight change here)


Anyone run anit roll/sway bars ?

I know someone who runs one indoors. But outdoors there isnt enough grip. to need one. Give my setup a whirl its good but you may want to put 35wt oil in the front for cartain tracks.

Ashley,

Sometimes a roll bar can be used to generate grip, for instance the xxxcr`s rear end collapses mid corner, a roll bar coule be used to prevent this to a degree, hence increasing the rear grip.
