First you you are going to want to use the o-ring suspension with the soft t-bar locked down with a washer in front and the rear o-ring set just tight enough to keep it from swaying. lighten the lube on your damper discs to something in the 3-7K diff lube range (much softer than tam soft) and go with the red center spring and TAPE your battery in.

Both the block and link front ends with either inline or trailing axles will work well, pick the one your most comfortable with.

Interesting...I've always found the pivot ball suspension with the soft t-plate to have more grip than the o-ring suspension. Currently running no lube on the damper discs. And the CRC 1/12th scale shock with the light weight black spring.

If I get a chance I'll try the o-ring suspension out.

Has anyone tried those Pit Shimzu medium rubber tires yet?
