The best place, in my humble opinion, is your Local Hobby Shop (LHS), they should be able to talk you through the best setups, spring rates, and shocks. If you don't have a LHS to goto, try someone of these guys: CKRC The Crawler Store Tower Hobbies The 'For Sale' section of these here forums... Hope this helps. |

traxxas big bores and losi crawler shocks are popular, as for spring rates people use all sorts of different springs to suit their style of driving and terrain, its mainly trial and error

you could go to a hardware store and get springs that fit inside the stock shock body, then you can experiment w droop, 50/50, and internally sprung configurations to you hearts content. and springs are less than $1 each. so that cuts your new shock cost by like 1000%? |

lol the hobby shops you have to go to are the ones that are run by just one guy. lol every big hobby shop i got to they know crap about most stuff. but those small shops they have to know there stuff in order to even start the shop in the first place
