Those will fit, but you will need the softer Jato springs.

Revo shocks are ok, but the ofna mini st front shocks are better.... as for the rear shocks a set of the losi 8ight front shocks work perfect on the rears.. also use the losi stand off's and it's a drop on mod, takes seconds to complete. Swap out the ball in the bottom of the shock end or dremel out a touch of space and use the losi ends.

there's your prob right there, Jason...

for the revo front shocks, use the Jato pink springs and the #2 piston. You can vary your shock weight from 25-27.

In the rear, use the soft springs for the buggy front and use 25-27 weight oil.

Another option that I found that works pretty darn good is using 1/10 Stadium Truck shocks (preferably aluminum) in the rear with the .5 blue springs and about 35wt oil.

feel free to PM for further info. :thumbsup:

Hi guys, I just plan to upgrade/ change my e-crt.5 front shock and have check Jato shock. May I know I need to buy Jato front or rear shock? As I know on the spring it got red and green colour. May I know which colour I need to buy or get Jato front or rear shock for my e-crt.5 front shock? Please advice and thanks.

Both front and rear Jato shocks are the same. Most use the Jato "pink" spring that is rated 1.4

Ok, bringing this back from the dead...Ok, Stum said that the Revo shocks are ok but the Mini ST shocks are better.

So, my question is this..Stum, what is your setup on the front with the Mini ST shocks?? Also, I just purchased a Mini STe and noticed that I have a lot of chassis slap on not so big landings. So, before I go out and buy parts that I might not need, I was hoping to get some input on if I should do the Revo shock install or just keep the fronts stock and change the rears????

Thanks

I'm not sure, but I thought the Mini STE uses longer front shocks than the Jammin? I've seen some guy running Losi 8B front shocks on all 4 corners of his Ofna Hyper 10SC that is based on the Mini STE.

Stock w/ the front shocks for indoor, just go up 10wt-20wt in oil if you are bottoming too much for your local jumps or on bigger out door jumps. The 8ight shocks are a bit too long for the front, but work great on the rear. I use a 35wt oil in the 8ight shocks, but adjust to your liking. I use 8ight shocks front and rear on my Hyper SC10 pro though..

Just keep in mind when playing w/ springs and oil weights typyically you want just enough spring to keep your truck at the correct ride height too much spring for your oil wt and you will be bouncey. Thicker oils same spring to control the dampening IE if you're slapping hard put in thicker oils and you won't as it's harder to compress the shock. Keep in mind if you change your oil weight too much you may need a slightly stronger spring to get the rebound for handling... typically if you go that far you're not going to have great performance for normal driving/racing. It's a balance, start with a known good config and make slight changes to dial in your rig to your style.
