so far ive been happy with 40 front no preloads/50 rear large preload, 2 hole pistons. sometimes when it lands a little funny in the front i wish i had a heavier weight but when i do it gets a little twitchy on the straights with little divits on it. but im still fairly new to the track so take it with a grain of salt.

I have been running the Slash since it came out and the best setup I have found for a fast hard clay track with some descent jumps is 40 up front with quarter inch PL and 60 rear with threequarter inch PL all progressive and one hole pistons.

By the way.. If you jump big, replace the shock caps with metal. The plastic cant handle a hard hit.

They are real nice, but they don't tune themselves. Still have to try different oil to see what works best for you....it's all about personal "feel", and has a lot to do with all your other suspension settings.

I like big-bores with RPM 2 stage valves and 40wt. And it's better to use a linear spring. I use Losi 3.2 rate on rear and 3.7 on front. Of course tire selection could change your setup as well.

Sorry, I had to dig through my parts, but the rears are Losi 5156(3.4 rate) and the fronts are Losi 5134(3.8 rate) and are available at Horizon Hobbies. I also have used Associated springs, but they fit a little tight on the big bores. Actually I have a large selection of springs for tuning, cause they're cheap.
