Default Softer suspension

Hello,

I'm over in the UK and I have a standard CC01. I'm looking at making the suspension softer as the standard set up is too hard. Any idea how to go about this?

I would be happy changing just the springs rather than the whole suspension leg on each corner.

Cheers,

Tim

I run GPM alloy shocks on my MU. I had a set of these left over in my TT-01 spares and I fitted the red coils to them to make the rear softer. They are cheap enough to buy.

You could try looking at your local hobby shop and measuring up coils. You might find the right ones to fit from another model. I have also done this a few times with diffrent scaler projects.

As these coils are a little shorter you might have to use some spacer clips for the std shocks.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Rob.

Pick up a set of Associated Buggy Front Springs. There are several rates in there that should work great. I've used them several time.
