Fastback Shock setup
 

im so undecided about my shock setup(oil weight and spring strength) i was wondering what other people were running on there fastback.

i run losi shocks and depending on the weight of mine it will be white and gold springs or gold or white and im jsut gonna stick with 45weight oil all around

Traxxas big bores
50 wt front, 45 right rear, 60 left rear
losi golds front
losi whites rear

Same oil setup as DickyT has (unless he changed it that is).

Losi crawler shocks, gold springs
50w front
60w lr
40w rr
5.98 lbs ready to run

Losi crawler shocks
gold springs
50w front
60w left rear
45w right rear

are losi golds the same as losi yellows? 2.75" long and 2.0 spring rate

No Losi golds are a softer rate than yellows.

Axial Comp shocks
Dual rate pistons- fast compression slow rebound
35wt front with Losi gold springs
45wt left rear Losi grey spring
40wt right rear Losi white spring

Good timing on this... finally ditching my stock axial shocks for some nice big bores this week... thanks for the tips boys!

Good comparison chart for any one curious about spring rates! http://www.teamlosi.ru/techtips/spring_chart.htm

Note I believe the golds are 1.4!

Now if Only I could get some small springs that soft to fit on my big bores. Might be stuck running the long pinks to get 2.3. I guess we'll see how it does!

Running Losi's
Whites on all four corners, she is a fat pig.

60 wt in the left rear and right front.
30 wt in the right rear and left front.

Tried Losi gold springs and it was a little soft for my liking. Like I said, she is heavy. I have a dig unit and a full size dig servo in her, so she is not light.
The Losi shocks will give you about 3" of clearance at the belly, and with some high clearance links, you will be very good to go.

Is anyone running 3.5"? I am in need of some new shocks and can't decide. Thought I was gonna run 4" losi's, now I'm leaning towards big bores. May just have to get 2 sets and see how me likes em.

All the builds I've seen are 4" of your choice. You can try the 3.5... might just need less limiters? or they will just be plain ol to short!
