Ran it in the OCRCRC Comp this weekend, Everything went OK. Shock fluid was to thick but other then that was ok, I hadn't slept for 30+ Hrs so i couldnt consentrate.

Aight. The comp this weekend the rig did OK. Suspension wasnt really tuned to what i was looking for. So me and Doncrawla did some tuning/tweaking today and this is what we came up with...

Also sneaked a shot in of my wiring, No the BEC is not being used At the moment - Hince all the extra zipties/wire.

Revo GTR Shocks with stock pistons, no holes drilled
60 wt AE Oil
Full droop
No internal springs...

Sticks to the rocks ive been testing on like glue. Simply Amazing

I really like your setup. I need to do some tweeking to my shocks too. I am gonna keep it sprung though so I will have to drill out the pistons a little. I want to switch to the CFX chassis to shead some un needed weight."thumbsup"
 
Big flex, What wieght are you using ? What Springs ?


During the day we also tried this combo that worked GREAT...

Revo GTR Shocks, stock pistons
20wt oil
Jato 1.1 springs all around..

Worked very well, just not my driving style, Don loved it.


Also thanks guys!

Well I am using greens 1.1's up front and golds 1.2's out back with 40 weight oil. I have a set of yellows I thought of trying up front but maybe I just need to drop WAY down on viscocity. I guess I will try 20wt before I go to drilling out the pistons. Thanks for advise."thumbsup"
 
Thanks Trey!!!...

One of my biggest problems i was having with the Revo shocks is Articulation, and no im not talking Degree's
It seems with to thick of a viscosity they dont like to do/allow shit, So we put that 20wt in there (AKA WATER) and it Loosend her up a bit, was predictable and the axles finally moved.

I also heard that .7's out front and 1.1's out back are the hot ticket.
