Sorry guys I was off on the springs. They softer though.
Here ya go found the post.
Sorry to post a LCC on this thread, just showing the spring rates.
Front Suspension:

Upper Links: Top
Shock Arm: Middle (B)
Shock Mount: 3rd
Shock Oil: Losi 50wt.
Piston: Orange #55
Internal Limiters: Spring from LOSA3246 stretched to 1/2"
External Limiters: 17mm
Springs: 1.2lb Prototype
Preload: 12mm

Rear Suspension

Upper Links Chassis: Top
Upper Links Axle: Top w/LOSA1036
Shock Arm: Center (B)
Shock Mount: 4th
Shock Oil: Losi 37.5wt.
Piston: Red #56
Internal Limiters: none
External Limiters: 12mm limiter
Springs: 1.0lb Prototype
Preload: 12mm

Front tire/wheel/knuckle weight is 18oz total
Rear tire/wheel weight is 10oz total

I ran the transmission flipped around with the dig servo/linkage in front. With the servo up front, I had to outboard my upper links to keep them in the upper mounting position at the chassis. I outboarded them 4mm at the axle as well to keep the link angles pretty close to stock.

Even though this truck is pretty heavy at 6.5lbs total, it drove very well on the red rocks in St. George. The weight seemed to keep the truck planted where lighter trucks kind of floated and slid around. <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

what about these

Those are Axials 1.04's, I'm running losi 1.04's or gold springs as they call them. Some softer ones is what everyone is talking about.

 

[motorman]

Oh, yeah I have the golds but thought they were 1.4?

I thought Losi gold's were 1.4 not 1.04.

 

[DickyT]

I thought Losi gold's were 1.4 not 1.04.

They are "thumbsup" Only the Axial blacks are 1.04.

 

[Jeepkid]

Alright I'm wrong. Anyone running the 1.04? I like the losi golds alot.

 

[stelerzman]

im running the gold in the front, gray in the rear for now. going to gold in the rear until the new losi springs come out. the .08

 

[stelerzman]

what about these

"thumbsup" good job dave"thumbsup".

 

[stelerzman]

any news on the losi .08 springs.?

 

[stelerzman]

Because I sometimes expect everyone to find humor in the same ways I do... but sadly I'm often wrong about that. :mrgreen: Didn't want to ruffle any feathers.

Back to the build... I think you could go with gold springs in the rear as well. I'm pretty sure you would like how the truck reacts "thumbsup"

i agree, some people just don't have a sense of humor.
