Forgot to add, I'm running a shorty, all the way forward, and ESC behind it in the tray, since I believe that makes a difference, Mr. Cherry

ballast weight

Thanks Wildcat
Just to make sure I understand correctly, the t4 and sc10 shocks and springs are the same
The b4 springs are same as sc10 and t4 but the shocks are different.

yes, AE uses off set cups on the bottom, so the same BB springs can be used on all BB 1/10 shocks.
