Shock set up advice??

[George16]

Here's my reply to your question over at UE.

I'd rather go with a 4-shock setup using black springs in the rear and blue springs in front. 50wt oil all around. Remember, you are running a 5S lipo which weighs over 500 grams (a bit over 1 pound). Less shocks to maintain compared to an 8-shock setup. This is the setup I run with my gmaxx on 5 (2S + 3S) or 6S (2 x 3S).

Remember, this is just a baseline for you. Find what setup you're most comfortable with your type of driving.
