Wow nice work on the battery box! As far as shocks go i recommend something stiffer than what you have, it looks like your still using the original red springs. Id recommend getting a integy spring kit. For on road the stiffer the spring the better but not to stiff though, you wanna stiffen up so the car corners flatter, but if your to stiff they're will be to much lateral G causing the car to break traction (drift). Actually better yet I'd just recommend getting some revo shock since they have progressive rate so they slow and firm on the compression stroke and soft and quick on the rebound stroke the bore is also bigger than the emaxx shocks.

Hey thanks for the compliments
,
you cant look at it and say it's to stiff though. What weight of oil do I use ? I'm using 60 with #43 3 hole.
It seems pretty stiff, I have no sway bar in the rear and it's doing well.

I was thinking maybe getting the revo ones but these Losi 8 shocks are really nice and I cant spend money right now ( still out of work)
I have a bunch of Losi 8 springs, Front is really stiff and the the next down soft in the rear is Losi 8 Purple Springs painted red.
Been shopping all over for onroad springs but nothing in 20.5 mm ID
