Hi JJ,
The short answer is almost anything with the exception of Losi bells (or any bell specifically recommended for Losi) which are very deep thus reducing the options for aligning gear mesh. Generally I would avoid bells with excessive sidewall depth for this reason.
That said I think they all still fit. I have heard good reviews for Answer R/C bells too.
I have also recommended Racers Edge bells which are very inexpensive and have not heard a complaint yet...
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Dave.

Generally speaking vented is better so if you are buying new then that's what I'd choose. However, if you have new non-vented bells then run them. It's a rare scenario that a clutch overheats. It's usually only when someone adds considerably too much spring tension and somehow doesn't notice the clutch is slipping excessively.

Hi Tyson,
When adjusting the "lay down" of the shocks it is important to do it by changing the position on the shock tower as opposed to changing the holes in the arms. Moving the lower mount out on the arms will give the shock a more direct link to the action of the wheel, it's a bit like putting heavier oils in and harder springs on. Yes the shock is being laid down but it is offset by the reasons just mentioned.
Two of the best shock setups I have tried so far is one on the outer holes of the arms all around and the other on the inner holes of the arms.
Use 1.3 x 8 standard pistons and light blue springs all around with both setups.
With the inner holes on the arms used I like 45wt losi up front and 30wt rear, middle hole on front tower and second hole in on the rear tower. This seems to be the most common setup and works well.
With the outer holes used I like 37.5wt losi up front and 27.5wt in the back, outer hole on front tower and second hole in on the rear tower.
You will note with the outer hole setup I have allowed the rear shock to be laid over while up front I have moved to the outer hole on the tower to maintain the original lay over angle. This has enabled the rear to still have the right amount of grip and rotation.
The lighter oils and outer holes give the shock more "pack" and is good for landings.

What kind if surface do you run that spring setup on (bite, smooth or rough)? I have been preferring lt blue front orange rear lately but will try all lt blue to stay consistent with your recommendation.

How are you guys shimming the front and rear diff? I noticed that there is a good amount of play between the ring and pinion even with one shim on the left side of the diff.
Also, what'd you guys do to the tank? I've heard of people putting foam under the tank so it won't crack on the chassis.
