I use vrp piston 8-1.2 front and 8-1.3 rear with 350 hudy oil all around. Front shocks in inner position on tower, rear shocks on second holes from outside. I have good spring balance front and rear with oil in the shocks. The car is planted, easy to drive and handle the jumps and bumps really well.

What should I started with if I want more punch? Clutch (springs and shoes), diffoils or clutchbell?

Yup stiffer clutch springs. Are you using the stock clutch.

No, I use Reds quattro clutch, with two alu shoes and two composite shoes. There are no other springs that I can use and I have it setup on the hardest possible.

Get rid of the composite and use all aluminum.

Stock clutch is good... I used to run 4 shoe clutches but see no need with the agama clutch and beta aluminum shoes.

thicker centre diff oil will also help with more "punch" out of corners. the Xx-3-5 style diffs work better on more open/bumpy tracks with open flowing corners imo. if you run on a more turn-point-squirt/hairpin style track id def consider going up a bit in centre diff if you are running that very thin. thats my exp anyway. try XX-5-5 or even XX-7-5 style diff setup. if you feel you want more off power turn in on this style track you can even go down to 3k in the rear.

Thank you for that, def will try thicker oil in the center. Like the reds clutch and don't want to change.

buggy just run better and better after every tank. this buggy is a hidden gem for sure. another happy owner

the shock bladder took a little of breaking in before I was able to set the shocks with zero rebound(dead). about after 6 tanks. followed Billy's method.
