I have tried to search this forum for a 6s set up and haven't had much luck without reading 150 pages of forum. I am not new to racing and upgrading from my tlr 2.0 to the Tekno Et48. I am sure I can figure it out but I wanted to see what everyone else suggests for a good starting point.
Here is what I am running:
Tekin T8 1350
Hobbywing 160 amp xerun esc
6s battery
CSI v port blue pistons
Koyosho springs
Here is what I would like to know:
What diff oils for 6s?
What springs f/r ( koyosho is prefers) if no koyosho then please provide spring rates.
Shock oils with csi blues in mind?
Sway bars?
Any other useful info as far as bump steer, rear toe, etc.....
Please PM me so I receive it and can ask questions privately
Thanks,
Robert

As far as the Kyosho springs and CSI pistons, we're not too familiar with all of those options so we can't offer any good advice on those.
Start with the kit settings for the rest and go from there

Not that it matters as stated; but I have the tekin 1350 w/ hw 150a esc on 6s
I'm running red CSI - running 40wt front stock spring 35wt rear Yellow spring (im sure tekno has the rates listed somewhere)
118 front measurement (center screws t/b) shocks center lower position, #3 top
130 rear measurement (center screws t/b) shocks center lower position, #3 top
Mostly the kit setup I think on bump steer/ackerman; 2over 2 under large side up on ballstud. 4washers over, ballstud down
Stock 2.6 sway bars but I do have a rate lower to swap on if needed
Diff's I like 10/15/5 best but depending on track you may want 10/10/5, with good bite 15/20/7 also is very nice.
