You just have to buy other OEM Springs to get balance, at least that's what I did on my RC8.2E. Thought I had a great set up until I played with the springs to find a balanced set and wow what a difference. Losi and Kyosho have a wide range of springs. On the Tekno SCT410 thread here on RCTECH someone put together a list of all major OEM 1/8 scale springs and sorted the front and rear springs from lightest to heaviest. Great help in balancing 1/8th scale springs since my Tekno SCT runs 1/8th scale shocks. (BTW on the Tekno SCT410 its Green rears and Gray fronts that is working Plus 8X1.3 & 32.5 Wt in ft and 8X1.4 & 37.5wt in rear) - see Fred I do pay attention! Still working on the pistons and oil on the RC8E
