Just an update. I ended up picking up some associated brown (stiff) springs and used ofna spring retainers to hold them in. The stock upper retainer fits the springs fine, and the ofna ballend retainer fit the stock ballend fine. The buggy is alot stiffer and does handle alot better. I filled the front with 50wt and rear with 40wt. I haven't gotten my body painted yet, but I took it out and did some very small jumps on a 1080 ramp into some grass. The buggy does jump really nice and feels like it has alot of control in-flight.
I managed to flip it couple times, scuffed up the front shocks and wing a bit, but nothing broke. Popping wheelies is definitely cool, but i'll probably be tuning the ESC a bit to tone it down. I'm not going to play with it hard until I get the body on. I don't want to break any of the electronics, if I flip it.
How do you guys land huge jumps with buggy's? I want to hit the jumps at a faster speed to get more air, but I'm afraid of bottoming out and banging up the chassis.
I found a small indoor track near my work, I'm going to see If I can race it there.
