I am using silver springs in the rear and gold in the front with 50wt oil in all 4 , seems to be working great , not too bouncy in the small stuff and will still take the big jumps without slapping the chassis too hard .

For durability I would look into the Lunsford pushrod/turnbuckle set or if you want too save a little the Integy titanium set , though the Lunsfords are better and have a lifetime warrantee against breaking/bending .

The red Traxxas pushrod/turnbuckles are good also , but I have broken a few from hitting other trucks .

As for the Traxxas sway bars not working , well I am not sure about that one , I have seen the vid and it doesnt prove much besides the fact that compressing one side of the suspension all the way doesnt lift the other wheel ? Just my opinion .....


joeling you also might want too gear down a couple teeth on the pinion if your gonna run NiMh batteries , I killed 2 of mine because they couldnt supply enough juice .

Or just go LiPo from the start and put a LVC on the ESC .
