I haven't ran mine yet but I think they feel a bit soft. I built them like this -
Front - 1.5mm piston, 40cwt oil and black losi springs Rear - 1.7mm piston, 30cwt oil and losi yellow springs Will test tomorrow but have a feeling it'll be too soft for carpet.

I used the big bore shocks on my C4.1 yesterday to TQ and win the first Silverstone winter masters race. The track is indoor, so it's flat with jumps, but the surface is actually very thin pile astroturf rather than carpet. We were using schumacher yellow minispikes on the rear and slim yellow staggers on the front.
I set them like this, and the car was dialled: Front - 35wt, 1.6mm piston, AE 12mm red spring, 2 limiters. Rear - 27.5wt, 1.6mm piston, AE 12mm green spring, 2 limiters. 30wt in the rear I think may have been better when the room got really hot and the grip was higher, but 27.5 was perfectly good. I was really happy with them, will do some outdoor running with them next weekend. Tom

That's how I've set mine up to. Do you think that two limiters are enough in the front........? We're you using AE oil? 3.90 red front springs are about spot on and green rears definetly. How do you feel about 1.7 pistons in rear? Gaz

Dave - not used them on 4wd yet no, probably won't do so until I get my B44.2.
Gaz - Yesterday was the one and only time I've used them, I think 1.7mm rear piston might be worth a look outdoors yeah. I use AE oil yes. I'm not sure the red front spring will be enough on 4wd but it was good on the 2wd. I thought 2 limiters was enough in the front yeah, hence why I ran it like that. TY

I think the purple ones on front will be perfect for b44.2 The blues it comes with are obviously for clay or tracks in us! What were the differences you noticed moving from the v2s you ran there at the national Gaz

I'd be interested to see a setup sheet of your BB setup, if you have one. That's what I ran today at Batley, but 3 limiters front, and moved to blue front springs later on in the day.

My set up sheet from the weekend is uploaded on Facebook in the cml/AE UK group.
CML also have it, so should be on their site in the next couple of days. Tom

Hi,
any modifications on the C4.1 rear Shock Tower necessary to fit the new shocks? |

I used the plastic shock mounts, rather than blue FT mounts, and spaced them a little with the included parts with the shocks. i use a ~4-5mm spacer on the lower wishbone mount to make the shock more vertical, but this was a standard mod on the c4.1 anyway.

Anymore 2wd BB set ups?
I may try them on my Vega this weekend at the Faversham Triple Crown |

what's BB oil setup closest to "classical" 35wt/30 wt on V2 shocks? I assume 37.5-40 front and 35-37.5 rear @ 1.7 pistons. Is it so?
I am already running BB springs so I am going to keep them My ride is Vega B4.1, track is carpet |
