well i now have the CS black and blue pistons. Think i am going to try the blacks first. what is a good starting point with the stock 2.0 springs? I am not sure if i am going to be running indoor or outdoor this week is the only thing.

Was thinking of starting 40wt front and 35 rear AE oil with the blacks.

Ok, so am I hearing this right? I can just stuff the 2.4 ghz antenna wire in the receiver box and don't need the plastic antenna tube? I used a reamer and was able to make it fit.

Also, my stock kit came with 300 wt silicon shock oil. Seems a bit heavy based on what I am use to with my other cars??

Thanks so much for all the help guys.

With the blacks, those oil weights will be to heavy. I'd start out with 32.5 F & 27.5 R, with blue front springs & yellow rears.

Stock for the 2.0 is Blue front and red rear. V2 springs, they are different than the V1.

I don't know anything about it but looks the same as 1.0 so 2.0 upgrades, shocks, ect should fit it

Is it just me, or does 2.0 not have dust boots on the axles?

Not in the front. None of the models have them in the front, only rear.

Well, that sucks And makes no sense, I can't think of a single reason why a manufacturer would want to expose CV joints to elements...
