XB8 setup----VERY bumpy/rough track

I have kind of the same problem, the car handles quite well on smooth sections like the straight but it lacks it is bad on the rough parts. Would softer springs/a-arms help to make it handle the rough parts better? I have the soft light blues with 350W both front and rear.

Think I may change my springs to the stock blues for the next time out with a little preload and see how that does. I have never ran them yet

Sorry, I don't get in here as much as I should! Hopefully, things will mellow out a bit and I can get back on these boards more frequently.

If you go to the downloads section and pull my set-up from "Spring Shoot-out" I think you will like it. It was a soft dirt, VERY rough track and the set-up was really, really good.

For the 3-hole pistons, get a 1.5mm bit. Redrill 2, 1.4 straight hole pistons and add a 3rd hole somwhere in the middle (between) the 2 standard holes. Make sure you drill the 3rd hole staight and not at an angle etc.

Hope this helps,
Mike

Mike
I want to try 4x 1.4 or 1.3 holes
I think that could work great
