Depends a lot on what Kv motor you are using. Some use 6s and lower Kv, while I am happy with 4s and a higher Kv motor. There is always 5s, and then LiFe batteries too which are a little lower voltage.

There's a good chart on page 3 in regards to kVs and Lipo cells.

Default shock springs

Hi, I've converted my MP6. (Pics in post # 201) I find myself in need of shock springs. OD of the shock body is 14mm. ID of the springs I have is 16mm. I'm using front shocks on all four corners. Any ideas? The buggy springs I have are much to soft. Thanks, Don
