While the latter two worked well for me, I was never as comfortable as I am with the Tekno when driven on the edge.

As it stands, the only thing I'd like to remedy is some front end bounce coming off jumps when I dont hit the landing properly. Outside of that, it has been very forgiving and allows me to get right back on the throttle without needing to let the buggy settle in pretty much every other situation. Thought for sure I was going to lose a front arm during the last race when I went a little too wide over a large table top and caught the left front tire/arm on the pipe. Forward momentum came to an abrupt halt and the buggy spun 2 or 3 times in the middle of the track before coming to rest. I was sure something was broke but I drove away without issue.

The bounce is the rebound from flat landing or close to. A heavier oil should mitigate that but it comes at the cost of being slower in rough sections. The "easy" fix is to land higher up on the jump but alas, I'm not good enough to do this every time. Somehow, I need to get more high speed damping without giving up low speed damping through the smaller, rough sections. I need bypass shocks :lol: I'll try adding some droop next time out and if that doesnt work (without hurting performance on the majority of the track) I'll start experimenting with 6 or 8 hole pistons up front.

I noticed in your setup 10 x 1.2 shock pistons versus stock 8 x 1.3. What difference do you see?

The 1.2s felt more consistant over a long run. All the testing I do,I do over a 20 minute run. Cause all changes can feel good 2 laps into it but fade the longer you run. I was pretty relentless on finding a good all around shock package. Probably wasted 60 bucks in shock oils! But the 1.3 I felt the weight transfer was to abrubt. The car would feel great on corner entry then all the weight would transfer at once and make the car do weird things. And the longer I ran the worse it got.
And yes the 1.2 are the stock black ones on the tree
