For those wanting to use the 8ight shocks, it's simple. They bolt right up. The top requires the use of the Losi upper bushings, which are narrower, so you just have to install a 5mm spacer behind them. I used a small bearing for now. If you use the stock upper bushing, the Losi shocks will flop back and forth on the longer bushing too much. Using red springs with adjusters backed all the way out, the ride height is damn near the same as with the stock shocks/springs with the adjusters backed all the way out.

I run at hot rod too and initially ran with 5k up front and 30 wt in front shocks. Truck was nice but wanted to spin the ass end around in the sweeper off the straight. Came back next week with 50k diff/35 wt front shocks and truck was way easier to drive harder. Make no mistake though, it had a lot to do with driving adjustments as well. You don't need to brake at the end of the straight, in fact you can't without spinning out. Just let off the throttle, the truck can carry quite a bit of speed into the sweeper. Good luck!

Just FYI, I was able to successfully replace the horn without taking much apart at all, took less than 5 min total. I marked where the holders were bolted, and pulled them both, had to pull the clicker cover to get to one, than I pulled the front right camber link ball stud, As well as the upper shock nut to swing the shock out if the way, and was able to swing the servo sideways and replace the horn.

I figured out what my problem is, the threads inside the servo are stripped/cross threaded so the bolt that connects the horn to the servo falls off cause the bolt has nothing to grip on to. Apparently must be really soft metal or something.
I tried to 'fix' it , don't know if it will last but I wonder if that part can be replaced on the servo. Otherwise gotta get a new servo.

I say run it as loose as you can without it skipping under hard braking.

I am getting ready to purchase my AE SC4X4 and need some insight.
I would like to know who is running the Tekin RS speed control and how they feel about it. I Also want some input on the Novak Havok Pro SC as well. I am torn between these 2 and just want a little feed back. I know they are both really good systems. I will be running a 5.5 or 6.5 motor ( Tekin or Novak). Like I said, just need a little feed back. I have been out of the electric game for a long while. My last speed controll was a Novak Tempest 2 I bought in '97

Finally got the body done, I've got as much time in the body as it took to build the kit.
