|  Rustler Tranny...
I have an Rustler tranny, MFM chassis, and a pair of WK axles, so I am gonna throw together another rig. I am wondering what size pinion I should run with a 55t motor? Also, I am gonna run Traxxas shocks...what springs should I use?

what are your plans for the rig? Do you want to go real slow or have some wheel speed. What spur gear is on it? I use red springs on my shox but you will have to find what works for your application. The weight of your rig will matter to on the spring choice

I would like a little wheel speed, but more trail/crawling than anything. It is a newer style tranny, not sure what the stock spur is? I will try a few different springs once I figure out the rest of it!

That is most common for scale trucks, provides a good top end while maintaining low end control. the Crawler combo's from tekin are the best bang for the buck  | |

| shock setup
You need to lower that sucker. try running a semi droop setup w/ soft internal springs above and below the shock piston with some 50w/ fr & 70w in the rear. Maybe throw the battery on the chassis. I run this setup on one of my scalers and limits the travel somewhat but stays planted and level, most people have way to much travel anyway.

I lowered her a little. 35w in the front, 45w in the back.  |
