Looking for setup suggesting for my b2 b3 buggy for a .indoor clay track. Specifically what shock oil to use. But looking for a quick and dirty setup sheet
Right now it is overpowered with a castle mamba setup that might get swapped for something more low key
I will swap a shorty battery later.
I am new to racing .

Where are you running at?

Crispy critters Fairfield nj, indoor clay, no vintage class yet.

I was just there with my B3 before Thanksgiving. It was getting around pretty well.

Front:

32.5w, #1 piston, green spring
Middle hole in tower
Inner hole on arm
Outer camber hole in tower
30* castor block

Rear:

27.5w, #1 piston, silver spring
Middle hole on tower
Outer hole on arm
Inner camber hole on chassis
Inner hole on hub
3* mounts
Hubs in short wheelbase position

Motor and battery:

17.5 on blinky
Shorty lipo all the way forward

Super soft slicks are the way to go there. I have proline Inversions on my car and they worked alright.

On a side note, jwscab and myself try to meet up there once a month or so on a Sunday to run the old stuff. I'll give you a heads up next time we'll be going.

Thanks so much, it would be very cool to meet with you guys, I have been reading your posts for years, I’m new to running vintage stuff,

Hey Jason any pics of your B3

Nothing special. I picked up a b2/b3 lot back in September. Basically 3 complete cars. I threw the b3 together to shake down at the Vonats in October.

Looks good! I was debating on big bores for mine but I think I will just leave the kit shocks on for now.

What did you use for gearing on yours Jason?

75/30. 17.5 blinky.

Are you running stock slipper as well?

V2 slipper

I might have to try and find another b4 topshaft to do the same.
