|  spring suggestions
Hello. I am curious as to what spring setups people are running. I am trying to combat the torque twist without installing the stage two suspension kit. My truck is stock with the exception of 60wt oil in the left rear shock. I would like to run stiffer springs and would like to know what you guys would suggest. I will eventually go to the stage two kit I would imagine, but for now I would like to keep it stock. Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm running red traxxas stock big bore springs with 60wt oil in all 4 and it handles pretty sweet, but I also have 70mm upper links.  |

I had the red big bore springs on but they werent long enough. I have the axial FIRM springs and killed the twist a LOT. It needs thicker oil still but i'm getting there.  |

Stock Venom springs/shocks, with 90wt in the rears and stock (25wt) in the fronts. Works real nice and does a great job crawling & flexing. Chris |

Axial makes 70mm links.. Got mine from the LHS for like $14 or something.. They didn't have any red ones though so I'm running green uppers and the rest of the truck is red...
