Softer springs up front for articulation with stiffer springs in back most likely to control torque twist. I personally run red Traxxas T-Maxx springs on all corners except I run a stiffer spring on the right rear to control twist. This is with flipped axles, so I think most people run a stiffer spring on the left rear.

im currently running 4 duratrax green evader springs. i had some blue (associated ?) on there before.they are stiffer then the green. im trying to figure out why the rear of my rig doesn't flex as well as the front. im thinking its all the weight up front. i tried different anti squat and and link positioning.still does it.

I run all four maxx reds. I need lighter ones tho, I got no torq twist with my XRC so I will go as light as I can!
