A bomber is born...

I need to remove part of this plate too

In stock form the rear shocks are longer than the front shocks. But considering your rollover complaints I’d suggest to shorten the front shocks instead.

Aren't they all equal?
My kit has 4 identical shocks

I thought they were equal too

I take back what I said. They are all equal lengths according to the internet. Maybe it’s the spring rates I’m thinking of then. I know the r at shocks have a higher spring rate to counteract the leverage of the trailing arm. I’ll measure mine in a little while to see.

Yeah it's like 1.14 rear spring rate and 3.17 front rate.

I think it's harder in front to account for the battery weight and softer rear for the weight transfer.

On my new gmade XDs i put medium front and soft rear but there isn't as much difference between them as the kit springs

It’s not very scientific, but here’s an eBay ad.

The rear springs are firmer and have larger wire as well as longer coil spacing than the fronts do. But the same overall length.

I need to check the, maybe i read it wrong and the hard springs go in the rear...

The hard springs do go in the rear! Thats how my RTR bomber came.

I just checked the Kit manual and the stiffer springs go in the rear...
I was backwards since the beginning.

Kinda weird since the weight is in front with the battery.

The mounting point on the trailing arm causes a mechanical advantage so the springs need to be a little stiffer.

I know you guys probably feel the same way about metric, but imperial measurements really stump me....

I have a few stiffer springs, and even a couple of dual rates to try

I can handle the metric linear measurements just fine. The weight in kG and grams gets me though.

Im french canadian, love the metric system but i can't use celcius for water temperature...
It just dosen't compute in my brain and i need my pool above 85...

Yep. Celsius is too broad. If you need decimals to describe the temp then it needs to be narrowed up. Had freezing been 0*C and boiling 200*C then it’d been better.

It's easy, 0 water freezes, 100 water boils....
