another stupid question
 

i just traded for a ax10 scorpion rock crawler and the guy i got it from had removed the springs from the shocks. Why? is there a resion for this? is there any set up sheet available for this crawler? i am use to racing off road buggy and there is a starting point for set up. just wandering if that would apply for crawling. what is the rules for crawling? is there anybody here in middle tn. near monteagle mtn that does any crawling?
