usually 28mm front and rear +/- 1mm depending on conditions but generally don't stray too far away from 28 at all.

I prefer the Serpents springs, and it just so has it Absolute has sets now for the front and rear! I also think the DNF 408 springs work too but never have used them. I like the Losi green rear spring when I used them.

I am assuming the car is a little unsettled on the bumpy track? First I would try thinning the oils front and rear, say from 40 to 35 in the rear and decrease the front the same. I would work on oils before pistons, I just don't feel I am on the level to really feel the difference between a 1.2 and 1.3 hole on a piston.

Starting to get slightly annoyed with the awful quality screws that are supplied with these kits. I think Ive stripped 3 screws now building the front diffcase, one on the diff and both of those lower screws that holds together the diffcase. Others has been close to stripping.
Since theres absolutely no way of getting those screws out again Im gonna have to crack open the diffcase and get a new one when the time comes to renovate my diffs. Nice!

It can definatley be aggrevating, if you have access to some taps just tap the holes before hand. Your screws will be fine and never back out!
