I checked out the above link but all the set ups on there relate to smooth tracks, has anyone got a basic starting set up for an outdoor bumpy track?

Hi
If you use the Tiverton set up with the shocks

front 35wt pink spring 1piston
Rear 30wt pink spring 2 piton
Long wheel base
one way front diff
Battery forward
Limit rear shocks to 4mm inside 3mm out side.
what surface are you racing on, if it is clay ignor all the above, I can only say this is ok for astro and grass.

Should be a good start
If the track is very bumpy std diff in front.

It's basically a grass track with several bare patches. Unfortunately option parts don't appear to have arrived at my LHS yet so I havn't got a one way.
I'm sorry but I'm new to the D4, I've only just finished building it, are the pink springs HB or Losi? and can you please tell me what you mean about limiting the rear shocks to 4 & 3 mm respectively?
Thanks.

HI Adam,

I've downloaded your setup for Stotfold from the HB site. Quick question, what would you change to run lipos?

I'm guessing slightly softer on the shocks setup?

Hi Noodo.
Depending on the mass of your LiPo and therefore overall car mass, I'd probably drop down 50cst on the oils all round to start with.

My D4 is now at 1600g with TP 3200 Saddles. I have 95g of weight between the cells and 15g either side of the spur gear.

I've also recently started running the car with 23mm ride height and slightly softer still on the oils. This allows the car to be more 'supple' on the bumps whilst still having enough ride height to clear the bumps.

Other than that, I wouldn't change much for a starting point.. Just see how it goes..

Hi all. I'm looking for a set up for li-po battery and outdoor on clay track. All I seem to be able to find is indoor set ups.

I would start with the Amezcua Hot Rod Shootout Setup, and adjust from there.
