Default LOSI 8IGHT Owners I need your help real quick

Hey guys I am using 8t rear shocks (4) on my Savage Flux for street use and I bought the shocks off ebay and they are crazy stiff (light grey springs from 1.0 roller). Anyone know a good firm spring (color?) that is slightly less firm then the grey?? Also, do you know what weight of oil are in them? THANKYOU!

chances are if you bought them used they did not have stock oil in them...if they were new and pulled from a kit...its not even genuine losi oil...swap it out for some real stuff....40-45 up front and 25-35 for the rear...pending what feel your after.

Check Losi.com or look on AMAIN at the different numbers. I think the higher the number the stiffer the spring.
