Ive talked with team guys that swear by them. They say its the #1 improvenment with the buggy. Also, the new rc8b comes with them already so that should say enough in itself. The new buggy looks sweet.

The setting u talking about is that for a smooth or bumpy track,

The 16mm make the car MUCH better through rough sections and on jump landings. They're DEFINITELY worth the money.

what oils and spring should a give a try on let say a bumpy track

Silver front spring - 35wt oil - 1.4x6 pistons
Black rear spring - 25wt oil - 1.2x6 pistons

That should work pretty well. Don't be afraid to try different settings to improve the car though.

Thanks mate!!!.

But thanks i will get the 16mm shocks and try your setting.

I picked up a set a few weeks ago and put them the rear on b/c the front came with a defective shock shaft. Before I put them on the car spent alot of time on its lid, but now I can pick up the throttle way sooner, not to mention landing huge jumps. Im running like 25 in the rear with the stock pistons, I think I will try the 30 next weekend

I think that Big Bores is the second best investment you can make in improving your handling, tires being the first (AKAs all the way). You will be so much more stable in the turns increasing cornering speed and faster in the straights on bumpy tracks especially in the rear end
