B7D low grip outdoors setup - flipped rear arms

We have been working hard on lower grip outdoor track setups here in Australia and over the weekend we had a successful event at the Mildura track which is a low-med grip bumpy natural red dirt track.

We used a similar setup to that at the NSW titles a few weeks ago at the Hills Off Road RC track in Sydney.

Key changes from kit:

• Softer springs (white front / green rear) for traction and riding bumps
• 3 hole 2mm pistons which we have found to be a good balance of bump riding, handling and mechanical traction
• Biggest change has been to flip the rear arms (which shortens the wheelbase around 5mm) and use B6.4 rear hubs (which shortens it a further 2mm). This change puts a little more weight over the rear tyres but creates more driveshaft bind under power which gives a huge increase in forward bite. With this setup you get the awesome corner speed and jumping of the 5 gear but with strong forward bite and this has made it an easy car to generate lap time with in lower grip.
• in very bumpy conditions, we have used the inner shock holes on the arms for the softest setup. If the track is smooth, use the middle holes (running +2 eyelet on the front and add 1mm shaft length to the rear) for a slightly firmer setup and more corner speed.
