Surely can't be softer than the 2.5R Revo. What rockers, springs and weight oil does it have?

I stopped by the LHS and they had one out of the box. The suspension is definitely pretty soft. It seemed to be very close to my stock 2.5 Revo. Even the guy at the LHS made the comment that the suspension seemed to float.

I didn't run mine more than 5 minutes before switching springs! About a one foot drop and it was bottoming out! Just switched them out for the included ones for long travel and much better! Currently running stock motors and esc w/ novak lvc and MaxAmps 2S 6000mah packs. Will be running mmm/8xl by the end of the week, just needsome shrink and traxxas connector for the mmm

Let us know when you get a chance to get a run in - curious to hear how it runs.

I won't be able to run mine until I get battery packs in - maybe middle of the week. :(

Me too I have to send my Maxamps back in and have the wires routed out the side. Having issues getting them in the compartments with the wires in the middle. I am taking out the stock titans and esc and putting them on ebay. I have a Tekno Neu 1.5 sitting here waiting to go in. Also just won a slightly used MM and data cable on the bay tonight. That is going in until my MMM arrives.

Good to hear those springs work better. I will probably but those on before I even run the truck. Now I just have to convince my brother to let me borrow his novak system to hold me over until the Monster starts shipping again. Hopefully I will have it running by the end of the week.
