I'm planning on making a large post of all setups I've tried and am currently trying. But as for shocks I've been running the stock 50F / 35R, but with the single hole pistons. This is over damped, but I run a smoothish clay track with big jumps. The big jumps require a lot of damping.

I've had the best luck with blue srpings front and grey rear. The car handles good and does not flip often. With blues all the way around or whites F and blue R the car flipped a bit too often.

I started with the front swaybar removed and have since removed the rear too. This again cuts down on the car flipping. It may also let me run blue rear springs, but I have not tested this.

One other thing. 2.2 truck tires are nice on rough loose ground with smaller jumps, but on bigger jumps they are difficult to control. I'm talking 25' jumps out of a tight bowl corner. With the smaller stock tires the car is very controllable in the air with the brake or throttle. With the truck tires the car is good for back flips, but difficult to control precisely.

WHOA, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE POST I WAS RESPONDING TO? There was a new post asking what the extra spacers were for in the RCM extended chassis kit.

I found out what there for monster mike told me as for the post after mike told me what they were for i felt like a idiot & erased it .
