Best shocks for crt.5?

Stock shocks are too soft no matter what i try. Is it worth going over 100 weight oil and ordering the white (hard) springs because that is what i'm about to do unless i figure something out.

1/8 buggy front shocks in the rear and Revo GTR in the front

Here is a link to the GTR shock mod....http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...t=crt.5+shocks

These mods are worth EVERY penny!

magman,
what color springs are in the front?

I also run Jato front shocks and Ofna LX-One front shocks on the rear. Here is a picture. BTW - it looks nothing like it does in the picture now.

damn.

those are the ones I have, but I'm not getting the response I need....They are too stiff and the front end is getting bouncy.

....I'll try a lighter oil.

I have green ones I can try too...


anyway. Thanks for the reply.

It took me 3 or 4 tries w/different oils to get it to my liking....I believe there is 50wt. in the front.

ah...thats the ticket then.

I dont know what oil is in it right now....whatever it gets shipped with I guess

But 50wt seems higher then what Traxxas would use for stock....

I'm gonna try 30 and work my way up. I'd rather have the lightest I can w/o bottoming out.

Thanks again for your reply brother.

Jnev, Just curious which battery you are running.

They look like these...http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXWNW2&P=ML

Yep, thats it. Kind of a low C rating, but running 4s in a CRT.5 means very small amp spikes so the battery does well in it.

On 4s that truck must scream! My truck in the above pic will be run on 3s....
