Chassi how to help.....

[DirtNBeer]

Could someone direct me to some places on the web that might be able to help give me some ideas on my AE T4 chassi setups? I'm looking for info that would tell me by saying somthing like "try more spring in the rear to help your truck from pushing in the turns" or somthing like this :rolleyes: . Info that would say ya do this________________and it will make your truck do this. I don't know what to do to help my truck and Im just guessing and spending money......Maybe I should put a decal on my rear spoiler that says "Mo Money"....Thanks in advance D-N-B ;)

Go to ae's website. They may have some setup tips there. AE also has a tuning guide out for the T4. It is only like $4 and would be money well spent.

The setup suggestions in the kit manual is usually a good starting point for most tracks (if you are racing) while the setup tips on Associated site are again good the ideal setup information is from the racers at your local track. Many times the racer(s) that are doing good have found the setup that works, ask them it still make take each individual to adjust their setup to the track. Pushing just means you don't have enough steering or front end bite, switch to a softer setting or change your driving style - slow sooner for turns or adjust more brakes into your radio. Recheck your suspension arms so insure they aren't binding - disconnect each shock from the shock tower, the arms should drop down - if they don't remove the kingpins and drill out the holes with a 1/8th inch drill bit (I believe it's a #27 that's slightly larger that is used -can't remember the exact size). Use some chrome polish and polish each kingpin so it reduces friction as works smoothly.
Some things I buy right off or have on hand are different shock oil weight, and different springs, then add a different caster block 25 to 30 etc or change tires but only make one change at a time. I usually setup the front softer than rear 25wt shock oil, green spring in front, 30-35 wt shock oil, blue spring -silver sometimes in rear.

you can always limit the travel of the shock with some hose over the shock shaft...sometimes ya just dont need all of it...keeps it from bottoming out too
