I am using Jato springs with mine. The spring rates are softer than the Revo springs. These are the ones I have. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXKMA7&P=7 |

Pretty sure they are. The Jato springs measure 1 3/4". This is the same measurement on the GTR shock from the spring cup to the top adjuster.

Yup...the Jato's are the same size and a huge step down in spring rate. Both trucks use the same shocks...just that the Jato comes with a plastic version and the Revo with aluminum. Oh yeah...those Revo coils are way stiff. They had to be more stiff due to the cantilever suspension design coupled together with the sheer weight of the truck.

i never tried jato springs but would have if i had known about them when i got my revos, but i went to ACE and picked through their spring bin until i found a few that i thought were suitable and cut them to length.... took a little more time, but i'm very very happy with the end result
