What strength springs do you use? Anything equivalent to Kyosho orange or lt blue? (70mm front, 84mm rear)
P.S. Are you going to open up that air scoop above your Pro 4HD motor for some cooling?

Why are you using these longer shocks, they seem to be for another car, I see you must put the screws all the way up, not so clever if you ask me?

One of their ridiculous easily broken basher bumpers? In short... no. Both of their products I've seen either were so brittle or had so much flex, I failed to see the point of them. It also wouldn't have helped much on either situation and possibly would have caused even more damage.

I mainly use it as a skid plate on an abrasive track

They are kyosho shocks. That first picture I posted was right after I finished assembling the car. I had not even set the ride height yet. They are fully adjustable and I can set the ride height with no problem using even the stiffest of springs. The Kyosho shocks are actually a little shorter than the Tekno. I needed to use the Hot Bodies Truggy long shock ends on the Kyosho shocks to get the length to match the tekno shocks and have the down travel needed.
I use the Kyosho shocks because I like them. Nothing wrong with the tekno shocks. Just my preference.
I just installed the new tekin T8i moor so I gained a little from the weight in the first picture. I also went to running just a little larger battery for saftey in finishing the 10 minute main. I could do it on the smaller 4s 3100mah pack, but it was super close. Rather have the extra oz and not have to sweat it.
Actual rtr weight now after working out all of the setup bugs and getting the car tuned is is about 6lb 5oz. The light car really suits my driving. I've been running it outside on large 1/8 tracks and its been durable as any other 1/8 car. Handles great and super nimble and really tuneable. My poor EB48 has been being neglected since I built this thing.
EDIT:
I just finished race prepping it for tomorrow. This is the weight RTR and ready to hit the track as of today.
