Nice work, one of the cleanest builds I've seen.

What springs are you using?

Thanks for the complements. This is my first crawler so I still have to sort some things out. Yes, they are T-Maxx shocks with the stock springs and they are WAY too stiff. I need to find a set of Losi (whites) as I understand that's what I should be running.

Losi whites or yellows will work fine. I run a little stiffer spring and shock oil in the rear myself.

Yellow springs are just a little stiffer then the whites.

I don't know the part number for the yellows. The part number for the whites is LOSA5147.

Anywhere I have looked, the whites are discontinued. I had to order yellows. Here is the spring chart from Losi.

I found some Losi whites and yellows at a LHS yesterday. They only had one set of each. How would you typically want to set it up, softer in the front or back?

Id run it a little stiffer in the back to fight torque twist little heavier shock oil too.

Very sweet build.

What rims are those? Do they come in different colors?

Indeed you do. It's the Holmes Hobbies Revolver with the Mamba 25 ESC and it works beautifully. Very smooth and powerful. The wheels are from RC4WD.
