Buy a Kyosho!!! ok sorry. Just thought I'd say before Bobby did Laughing

Really though. Curt had a similar buggy to yours before he got his 22 and that buggy was on! Also Danny has a B4 and that buggy is on too! They would both be great resources.

Go to team associated page and setup the car like one of the team drivers. I think its 1 and 3 pistons and 30 front 25 rear oil in shocks, but don't get me to telling lies. Those sheets should get you close.

Keep in mind those setups are for team drivers and their specific driving style. The best thing for you to do is practice practice practice then practice some more!! 80% of your setup is tires so make sure you have the right rubber.

Hey ShortySantana "Stick Time" is the best Hop-up u CANT ! buy.... PRACTICE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AND PLAY WITH DIFFERENT SET UPS ... DONT LET ALL THE ADJUSTMENTS INTIMIDATE YOU . THAT WHY THEY ARE THERE...JUST REMEMBER TO WRITE DOWN ALL YOUR CHANGES AND HOW YOUR BUGGY REACTS TO THEM...(IMPORTANT).. SPEND A WHOLE DAY AT THE TRACK IF YOU HAVE TO , I AM SURE BOBBY WONT MIND JUST LET HIM KNOW AHEAD OF TIME... LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED SOME HELP...I CAN MEET YOU THERE...

Thanks Il realy apreaciate it

I also got a b4 recently thanks to Bobby. I am out of town but I took it with me to a roadtrip with some friends. It is looking great and I will try my best to race this sunday.
I am also new to the set ups on electrics. Hope to get some advice on what to do for the bring the heat event.

+1 on previous posts, practice is the best way to become much better and allows you to learn your specific racing platform. Start with one of the team setups and adjust to fit your liking/track characteristics.
