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!

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.

I know this is a little off topic but how do you like those tires that are in the picture? Im running the same ones on my truck and they dont grip on concrete for nothin. They came with the truck though so i cant really complain.

Emaxx101,is that the bros conversion? I have one installed and am very happy with it so far.You still running it with the jato shocks?,and how do they work on the big jumps?

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.

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.
