Ran my shorty and full sized packs back to back. By far the shorty pack felt more consistent, but as expected the heavier pack made the buggy more stable over a washboard or tight whoops. Also, I felt the full sized pack threw the buggy around a bit more, but I am sure I would get used to it with time and compensate. My vote goes to the shorty.
Question, if I overshoot a landing on a big jump and land the buggy flat, I can get a pretty severe hop from time to time. Should I go up slightly on the oil, use smaller pistons, stiffer springs, etc. Basically I would like to increase dampening slightly without stiffening up the suspenion. I emphasize "slightly" because the buggy is pretty much dialed except for the occasional hard slap. I run the big bore springs and alternate between the red/white or red/yellow springs. What would you guys do first? Other than learn to downside the jump more consistently... of course.
