Hi guys,
Thanks for the responses. Both answers make sense. Further context: mp9e circa 8.6 pounds. I figured this is about 10 percent higher than nitro equivalent. When I make certain nitro specific changes suggested in previous posts, my car would bottom heavily when dropped at 12inches. I figured oil or springs. Increasing oil worked but it affected rebound as 800 weight is like molasses. I then figured if I increase spring rate 10% this would then make the other suggestions for oil equal between nitro/electric settings.
In summary: use sponge technique as solution to improve rebound. Increase spring to assist additional weight I’m carrying.
The track I’m racing on: smooth, dusty, tight, reasonably big jumps. I’m using grey springs, 8.2 pistons in front, 8.3 in rear. 700 in front 650 in rear.
