Jammin X1CR front shocks do fit pretty much perfectly on the rear of the .5. Mine are set up with a good oil, but the soft springs I have on them right now seem a bit stiff. Once I mount the Jato shocks like you did I can dial in the suspension.

Nice work!

I gather that the softer the better (for the rear). I have a set of mugen soft/short light blue springs on the way as well as the x1 cr front shocks (for the rear), and of course the revo shocks and accesories for the front. I hope the mugen springs are soft enough without cutting them down. I'm stoked to see the improvement. Go-ride well done on the mod.

I just ordered a set of Ofna Ultra LX One front shocks (same part #s as the 13mm X1 CR shocks) off ebay yesterday. They come with the soft "yellow" ofna springs. Hopefully, the yellow springs will be close.
