Default Maiden test .........

Got my gtp gas conversion on the ground today, bit of suprise,first this thing is quick, rolling power wheelies,second my tires suck,
So here's the setup
GTP diy conversion to BL,including battery tray , only cost me $2k
4s 5000 genace hardcase
tekin rx8 with tekin 2650kv buggy
17t/ 51t need to go down to a 16t or 15t.
hardened ring gears shimmed
Laydown servo conversion - diy
dm1 front shocks -since mine is an older gtp
lx1 front shocks in the rear
70w shock oil all around
yellow dm1 springs
yellow lx rear springs -way way too soft
pbs rear conversion
cvs all around
torsion swaybars
10k rear fluid
30 front fluid
100k center
Shortened wheelbase to fit under the thunder tiger xsara body
ball bearing steering -thanks SNR
Has anyone tried the rc4less 1/8 revo/ofna springs ? I need some stiff springs to keep the back from squating on accelertation.
