Losi 8ight shocks on Losi SCTE
i bought some 8ight shocks for my scte because i saw some guys were making it happen and it was driving like a 1/8 buggy, but my shocks arnt rebounding fast enough i have 50wt shock oil with green springs all the way around. Some help would be awesome thanks guys.

50wt in shocks that size on a SCTE is too heavy, IMO. I don't even run 50wt in my 8E 2.0 and it's heavier than the SCTE. I would go down in weight and maybe try some bigger hole pistons.

Mainly useful for me when i get ready to redo the shocks but for other guys also that may not want to scan through 3000 pages in a few weeks to find this info...lol

The 8ight reds are as light of a spring as they have, the slivers are next in line, then green then black being the stiffest.
I wouldn't recommend black rears... even on the much much heavier 8ight-e nobody runs that stiff of a spring. Typical 8ight setups are silver or green, but most are green on the rear. Some have moved again with the much heavier 8ight to a black front spring, but still most stick with a silver to green front spring as well. Just some thoughts..
