| I'd put a spring in there droop style (under the plastic washer so it compresses the shock) and start playing with oil weights. On my ax10 I ransprung in the rear w/ xtm blue Xcellator springs w/ 40 weight oil. And internal springs from the hardware store up front with 1,000 weight shock oil worked great with me crawled awsome. |

| Flip the shocks, (inverted) Tmaxx shocks are a good replacement and cheaper than Losi's. Cover the links with Bic pen bodies to help slide over rocks, Add weights to the wheels and think about upgrading the drive shafts. Tubers are generally heavier and will more stress on weak components. |
