Here's a shock update....

I recently went from the stock oil weight (30wt) down to 25wt and that made a difference as far as handling. A lot better, today I went down to 15wt oil and holy cow did that make this buggy handle so much better. I'm gonna try 10wt next and see how that goes, and yes I'm running these weight's front and rear. I'm also running the stock losi hard springs front and rear.

i'm not a racer on a track. just simple straight line driving and jumping. I have a roller coming in the mail. what springs come stock on the mini 8ight.

I plan on purchasing the "hard" springs from losi...or is that what they come with originally?

with the hard springs what shock weight should I go with to minimize bottoming out on lets say 5 feet of air? thanks

If you are running a very hard smooth surface and big air(5ft is small air for the mini 8ight) then hard springs and 30wt in my op.

thanks for the info.

what do you consider big air? and is 30w still your recommendation for that to prevent bottoming out?

I was contemplating 35w just to be safe. the reason why I'm so worried about bottoming out is cause i'm gonna get the exotek bottom plate. thanks
