Could be. Or they are using different pistons.

Well the shock oil/pistons control damping (i.e. rebound), the springs deal with shock absorption. I'd go higher on the springs first and see how that goes (of course not too many options for RC8T, unfortunately) and increase shock oil to deal with dampening the rebound.

Yeah, Flux is a monster truck and handles like one; its fun in its own right. The E-Revo is a wannabe truggy. The newer E-Maxxs are more equivalent of the monster truck feel of the Flux. I originally had a T-Maxx 3.3, but wanted to go bigger nitro motors so switched to a Savage X (which got mid-tank modded) and then decided to go with electric too so ended up with a RC8T and a Flux.

I guess it`s lower because of the bigger shocks on the FT CE ? Not sure.

But never mind, i will start on stock fluids anyway and go from there. It will get some air-time, so i might go alittle stiffer there later on..

As for the Savage, i bought a Flux as a second car to my E-revo.. But i sold it again after 3 weeks. Didnt like the handling at all..
Thats when i decided to get a Truggy :)
