Need new springs for my truggy - 01.25.2009, 12:20 PM

Hey guys, Lately I have been trouble with my truggy bottoming out, i cant drop the thing 6 inches without the chassis slapping. The truck weighs 10.5lbs RTR, which springs and oil would you guys reccomend for non-big bores?

Im running 50w oil now

Thanks

Thicker oils, you might need to go over 70wt, another thing is to add preload.
I would start from thicker oils and then adjust rideheight with preload.

Slightly off topic but where can you get preload spacers for 15mm shocks?

And you can allways use cable ties as preload spacers.
