Any thoughts on my suspension? It doesn't really have any rebound when i push the chassis down...it just stays there. I'm thinking I didn't fill up the shocks all the way or I have some air in them?
Regards,
Mike
Check that your sway bars are free and you did not over tighten the upper shock mounts. Also are your shock collars set for proper ride height. Take the shocks off and make sure the arms fall freely and then install the shocks making sure the upper shock cap wiggles on the bushing.

Long! 250mm+ is safe.

I was advised not to run on a larger track with them. I really don't need all the power of the regular units.
We primarily run on 10th scale tracks. OCRC is 130X64 (or close to that) so not a "small" track but not 8th scale large as well. We ran it out at palm desert which is an 8th scale size track and although I am not sure I would actually recommend it due to the layout not having any really long straights it worked quite good. Key here is light car. If you run on a large track and don't want all the power you can always go for the T8 Gen2 1700 and have something better for a large track but a little more tame. The T8i is for a light weight more nimble setup. If you are running big batteries on a large track a little extra weight on the car for a bumpy track may not be a bad thing. The T8i was not to take away power but it is a little smoother but weighs less got get a more agile car for tighter indoor tracks.
