At this point I can get the front to 27mm with the kit springs. Might wanna pick up a set that is softer for the front, and firmer in the rear. Pinks all around would be a good choice.

If I go with pink springs front and rear with the stock pistons what would be a good shock oil setup to start with? 35/30?

Ahh just realized that tekno actually makes the Pistons I didn't know that. So less holes for bigger jumps more holes for smaller jumps I'm assuming

Theres a bit more to it than that. Its more about matching the pistons to the oil to the track. You need to look at piston surface area. The more area, the more pack.

I would expect that the 10x1.2 pistons have more pack than the 6x1.5. Nearly the same free area and smaller holes => higher velocity of the fluid at same velocity of the piston => more pack. Am i wrong?

I would use the 6x1.5 on bumpy and/or low grip tracks (maybe the 6x1.6) and the 10x1,2 on smooth and/or high grip tracks.

Surface area shown here is that of the holes. More area, less pack.

Hey, does anyone know of a company that makes heatshrink tubing in the colors that tekno uses for spring designation? Got some truggy springs here and tekno's method of putting paint on the springs is hard for me to see at times since they are silver and it rubs off too. wouldn't mind using tubing instead like AE on the 1/10 stuff and Durango do for quick identification.
Cain i use finger nail polish on the rings to compress the spring an it also for how many times i turned it

Also what servo would you recommend for it? I am looking for something On the cheaper side. Also would (with the aforementioned combo) a 5500 mah battery last 10 minutes? Lastly are there any problem areas with this car? This part may have been mentioned already but I did not see it.
Thanks
Robby
I got the sct pro mamba combo there is a guy on here right now that has one for 160 including program cards i would jump all over. That

Rifle there is some great deals to be had on here i thinks for the money of the rx8 u could get a better unit i have the sct mamba an it is great so far i just hooked it up to the cumputer and adjusted an man it really screens now ,an i striped the plastic servo horn out now after turning up the power ,do u build rifles buy chance as well

anyone using a staggered piston setup on this vehicle? (8 x 1.2 front / 8 x 1.3 rear for example)

Also, I heard a rumor about a special tekno clamping wrench with spots for 17mm and 12mm hex, ball ends, and shock shafts? Anyone heard of this?
