Setup questions - Losi 8 conversion - 09.02.2008, 09:11 PM

Hey, guys.

So I have a Losi 8ight with a standard 4s conversion.

RC-Monster motor mount
MMMv2
Neu 1512/2D/F
4S 5000MAh packs






The question is - where's a good place to start with setup? It's heavier than the nitros so I assume the base setup for an electric would be a bit different than the nitros.

Where's a good starting point for:
1. Springs
2. Diff oil
3. Shock oil

Right now I'm using a common nitro setup:
Front shock spring/piston/oil: 4.4 Silvers/54/40
Rear shock spring/piston/oil: 3.1 Greens/55/35
Front/center/rear diff oils: 5000/7000/2000

I generally run on large, outdoor tracks that are medium/bumpy and range from dusty to moist (depending). I do not run on smooth bluegroove indoor stuff at all. Ticket tires are bowties and crimefighters.

Thanks, guys.

-Jeff
