Something to keep in mind when adjusting ride height or hub heights: they're really just roundabout ways to make the most powerful roll center adjustments on your car - arm angle. Probably explains why you liked 13mm ride height in the front - raised your roll center more than you could with any other adjustment on your car. IMO, modern buggies need to start raising inner hinge pin heights to keep the arms flatter as cars get lower and lower on these high bite tracks.
Thanks, another great video. I experienced the same issue with the front losing interest after initial turn in then loads of on power steering on astro, will try less caster and higher rc and see how it goes.
Usually, lowering the front and raising the rear results in a bad front-end push. #1 For sure it keeps weight forward but more weight means the front end takes longer to react. #2. On a 2wd buggy, you have narrow front tires (high pressure per inch/mm), meaning the tire becomes overloaded easily and will lock in. When you turn, the tire will want to stay straight (aka push).
Have you experimented with the short chassis yet? I have been using it with a very similar setup to your old one on my local tight carpet track and have been liking the added rotation.

I like the detail shots where you see the part to adjust, it helps, for a non nativ english speaker :D
Thank you. As a B7 driver that’s really useful. These videos are great.
I love your videos please keep them coming

Great Video, Thanks a lot. What about the anti roll bars?

Great video. Have you experimented with the wide C and D blocks ?
Very helpful thank you!

How do you set your shock to get 11mm? If i do it on mine, there will be slacks between the spring and shocks when fully extended.
I would love if you had a set up sheet linked!!
Amain did a multi-part vid on gettin b7 tuned up for stock class racing. Don’t think there was 1 kit piece left. Sad. -U10
Conveniently, they sell the parts. Unbiased recommendations for sure.
What fluid do your run in your hydradrive?
Very well presented Jamie, Great
are you guys running plastic or carbon arms?
Any chance of your latest chadderton setup?
nothing about shock setup?
Spencer went over the latest shock setup for both 2wd and 4wd on carpet in his November download. You can find it on his youtube channel
Your lazy ❤
You found that running an offroad car on a on road surface is lame? Yeah, most of us found that out many years ago.
