I have the 69 Blazer RTR with Vanquish axles, Incision driveshafts, front overdrive gears and SSD brass knuckles (70 grams per side) and would like to try some Dravtech shocks. Anyone running these on their scaler? If so, which spring rate? They offer several rates and need some suggestions. Thanks in advance.

I’m running the red and orange .
I may want more in the rear , that is soft now. I’ve ran pink, way too soft, green is too stiff. My rig is almost 9#
I forgot to mention those are Losi miniT springs. The green firm are Dravtech . I also am running more weight up front.

I'd run medium front and rear or medium front and firm rear. I bought a set of soft springs first and they were too soft for a scaler IMO

Mini-T springs are the same size and offer slightly different spring rates. Only problem is they are bright colors.

I have 2 sets of the mini T springs on hand, but it sounds like I'll need to order some of Dravtech's too. And yes, I hate the brightly colored ones also. Shock oil preferences for this setup?
