why do you say that?

i think id rather have hard as theyre obviously harder to bottom out, i dont know, this is confusing...

Most buggies will bottom when dropped from 3 feet. Toss the buggy 6 feet in front of you, from 3 feet up, and you will simulate real-world jumping. I too mountain bike, when you drop 4 feet on a trail, its a lot smoother over the span of 15 feet, than from a dead stop. I would suggest the 450 oil and blue long springs, personally. Pour out the 250 oil, pour in the 450, recap them.

yeah thats true... drops aernt as bad when youre flying off em doing 60 km/h

kinda like this video... if you were to try and wheelie drop those, youd be screwed. http://youtube.com/watch?v=hZLrNlnHJTA&feature=related

i think ill put in 450 oil, and get those hard progressive springs.

ps: how come i put oil in my shocks, then decide to switch it, and the oil comes out and its grey. when i put it in it was clear... why?

if you are no hard racer or beginner
and don't do jumps higher than 9 feet
the soft ones give a way more forgiving car
and will glue your buggy to the track
with hard ones it will become more likely twitchy....

I use the soft ones
and they are a real +
against any brand spring
you just sence the difference ..

yeah i see what you mean, you have a good point. i dont race nor do i hit big jumps.

ps: how the hell does this guy do this and not destroy his car? what kind of a suspension set up would you need for this? 1.0 holes in the piston, 1000 weight oil, and super stiff springs or what?

and is that guys car ridiculously fast or is it just me? i thought mine was fast but i think his would win a race.
