I have been messing around with the suspension on this truck lately. I wanted something that handled a bit better in off camber situations and sidehills. I decided to use some internal springs and some heavier weight shock oil.

My shock setup is as follows:
Front - 1500cts oil, 2 hole pistons, Losi red springs, TCS medium internal springs, 4mm external limiters
Rear - 1500cts oil, 2 hole pistons, Losi white springs, TCS soft internal springs, 8mm external limiters

This lowered the truck a bit and now the articulation sits right at 6". At rest, it sits at about half droop. I plan to test it on Monday.

Here are a few pics:

I might work on the front one, but I need to figure out a new servo mount. IMO, clocking the rear to give some caster is not necessary....now rotating the gearbox is a plus.

I have been working on this truck some lately. I decided that I needed better steering and to shed some weight in the right places.......so I gathered up some of the spare parts I had laying around (and placed a few orders to TCS as well as pleaded and begged for a few spare parts from some of the members here...thanks Shane ) and swapped in a set of berg axles.





Specs are:
Super bergs
Berg/Berg 300's rear, Mann 2nds and 3rds, Felsenfest knuckles and weights, homemade/hackjob delrin servo mount
Ber/Axial 300's front, Mann 2nds and 3rds, VP8* knuckles, slightly better homemade/hackjob servo mount, Bigron weight hangers and, soon to be, homemade weight holders....I am hoping these hold ~10oz/side.
