If your talking to me, I have mine in the inside hole. But My Revo is set up for major jumps and hard bashing and running 7" tires.
My preloads are set at 1/8" from the top of the shock in Front, Rear is set about 3/16" from top of shock.

To properly stiffen up the suspension, you have to use thicker oil AND firmer springs. Just doing one won't work ideally. Soft springs with thick oil will cause the suspension not to rebound quickly at all. Firm springs with thin oil will be bouncy.

If you are using the variable damping pistons on the rear, then perhaps you are getting a little too much 'spring' and it's popping the rear up. Try switching to a linear piston and see what happens...

for heavy bashing i run silver front and blue rear on the P2 rocker set.
80wt rear and 60wt front and #2 pistons.


you have integy parts....yukey (imo)

I tried integy piggybacks when I first started my build, not doing any research on the company, they were garbage, leaked from the start. They look good, but thats it.

Not speaking for everyone here but I beleive the forum general consensus of Integy parts is that they are all garbage.

Fair enough.. As I said, the truck came as you see it.. I have already bent and subsequently cracked the rear body mount tower after a hard landing on the rear bumper... Nevertheless, it DOES look funky! hahahaha...

I'm waiting on the variable pistons to try some of the setups suggested..

Installing a set of those pistons in mine today, My ESC has a problem though. Might have to rob a M.M.M. from another truck ?

Jason 08.09.2009 07:25 PM

one of my rear driveshaft was twisted maybe it cause a resistance and for why I always do nose diving ? :neutral:

Bondonutz 08.09.2009 08:18 PM

Is the slipper locked down ?

Jason 08.09.2009 08:45 PM

slipper is loosen

dave_mackinnon 08.19.2009 04:07 PM

Just and update.. pistons should be here today..

Wash bashing anyhow yesterday.. bent the yukey shiny front bumper mount huge.. Not loving this Integy stuff...

Do you guys have suggestions for a front bumper than can handle a good nose-dive or two?

Bondonutz 08.19.2009 04:10 PM

Yes, The Stock bumper.

shaunjohnson 08.19.2009 05:30 PM
