You have to use front shocks all around so I also bought the spring tuning kit for the L8 model
Yep, that's the ones I used as well. As stated, you will need to purchase the SHCRT SHOCK BODIES and SHORT SHOCK SHAFTS as well.

For springs I went with RC4LESS's Short Springs for the Losi. They are shorter than the shortest Losi springs, and do not put a bunch of preload on the shocks in order to get the desired ride height. Not to mention they are a perfect fit and work awesome! Also mounted are Titanium shock screws and the Stands.

I am also using the lightened F/R CV driveshaft axles from Matrix Concepts inc.

In an effort to make the car as light as possible, I have ordered Losi's HD Lightweight center drive cups and the Carbon Fiber Ackerman plates from Matrix Concepts. The car is actually pretty light as it is. Race ready it's a tick over 7lbs.

Clay - I have a filled out setup sheet for my car if you'd like to use it as a reference. PM me your email address and I'l send it to you.

See you guys on the track.
