Question for Dark Soul owners?

[Drvnbeing]

Alright so I am wondering what shocks you guys are running, spacers weight etc. and what hole locations you are attaching them too. Just curious to see everyone else's set up and see if I can improve on my own at all. Right now I am running my shocks on the very last (closest to the motor) hole on the top front and rear. Running inner and outer springs on the losi aluminum shocks with 80 in the rear and 75 in the front. I just changed to this the other night and it has improved alot from where I was. Ay input would be appriciated.

im running my shocks with the stock spacers 4 on each shock and im running them in the first row 4th back i think i like em there it rides nice and low i have 70w shock oil and have stocd springs on aftermarket threaded shocks

My brother runs on he was running losi shocks with the blue springs .We were having problems with it unloading on climbs. He is now running a droop set up and it works great.

Good, cause I thought I was the only crazy one running that weight of oil.

It would be nice to get Ted, Chino, Bcrofts, and/or Nluv in here to see if any of us are close to what they run

Shocks - Losi aluminum - limited using stock limiter + (4) 1mm spacers

Springs Front - Mini T soft - silver color

Springs Rear - Stock Losi Aluminum - dark blue color

Shock Oil - 40wt all four corners

Front Location - 2nd row from top - third hole back - outboard

Rear Location - 1st row - third hole - outboard

Setup works great, 2 inch GC w/ claws, 65 degrees

Losi aluminum shocks, blue springs, 4 spacers under piston, inboard kit and 1000wt oil up front, 45wt and stock location for rear...works like a champ

Boy, sorry for not getting in here earlier, just been swamped lately.

Anyways, I use the Losi aluminum shocks, springs that came with them, just enough preload on the collars to keep the springs from popping off the perch.

70wt in the rear, and 80wt in the front which uses the inboard shock mount.

I think it does great, but you need to slow up a bit when transitioning over extreme edges and whatnot, give the suspension a few seconds to do it's thing.

So what's the word on the 2.2 chassis, Darksoul
