IRS163 is the part number? If it is, I would honestly stay with the stock ones. They are fine for all types of tracks. But generally speaking a longer wheelbase is better for bigger, faster, longer and more flowing tracks. But if you still got them I would run a softer compound front tire. Also If you have an ABP (Adjustable Battery Position) chassis I would move the batteries all the way back if they aren't already. Also bump up your dual rate on the radio and it should be good to go.

Will the 12L3 upper pod plate that uses the damper disk and has the shock running forward to the antenna mount fit this car?
Any recommendations on a shock upgrade? Will the cyclone shock work?
Thanks, L.
I hear the Cyclone 12 shock is real good. From my understanding it is a full shock just like on touring cars, just smaller. I also hear the new AE through shocks are real good. On my cars I use the CRC and IRS shocks. As long as you build them right, they are real good. IMO any shock besides the old AE shock are good. The old AE one that the cap snaps in is horribly inconsistent and a pain to build.
