Set up tips with stock chassis and shock spring question

[Interceptor]

Any tips on setting up with the stock chassis( shock locations), and what brand springs are you guys using on the stock shocks? I may try to pick some up if I can find some that fit. Need some stiffer ones.

save your money and buy some real shocks.... almost every WK/CK shock I have ever had has leaked and upgrading to something worth a darn will be your best bet in the long run. Search the F/S section and within a few days you'll find a deal worth going for. Other than that, extend the wheelbase and have fun/beat the snot out of it.



if you must, savage springs fit, but are longer, so you have either have increased spring rate or cut them down a bit to fit the WK length

The stock springs are perfect for all around bash/crawling IMO, I put them on new HPI 77-117 shocks and they work great, I run a light vegtable oil to let the spring pop it back up quick, and allow a light feel over rocks (I like the stock location best too, keeps it the lowest and most streached)...

When I had mine on the stock chassis I actually cut a half inch off y springs to lower it witch gave it better cg and gave it the ability to actually drop a axle over a ledge to help it climb better.

I tried shorter shocks, but I like the stock springs on stock length shocks with a light oil in my CK, the high center of gravity keeps it fun.
