Qualified and finished second today. Tracks wasn't very forgiving to 4x4 SCTs, more of an 1/8th scale/truggy track. Spent the day experimenting with the setup and getting the Serpent BB 1/8th scale shocks that I installed dialed in. Final setup today was 6 hole pistons drilled out 55, 30 wt AE oil and Orange Serpent springs (4.4 rate) on front, 6 hole 55 pistons, 25 wt AE oil, and Serpent pink rear springs (2.8 rate). Shocks mounted middle upper holes and lower outer holes front and rear. The Serpent upper shock standoffs and shock bushings are a perfect fit on this truck. Used the stock AE lower shock ball end. Suspension was plush and it went through the rutted/bumpy areas way better than with the stock shocks. Didn't bottom out and bounce around as much on hard landings either. Front and rear shocks have 5mm internal limiting, but I need more limiting in the rears, truck has too much rear droop. Another 2mm needed probably. The truck now feels like it has real, high end suspension, instead of creaky, sticky, spring rubbing the shock body Tyco suspension.
