Hey,
Can any of you guys help me out with shock spring colors or a color chart with spring rates for the d8t ?? i own (3) of them and would not race anything else. we have big jumps out here and i bottom out (chassis slapp) hard all the time and dont want to do anymore dammage, i had my axial .28 rr-2 motor mount crack due to the stress of landing so hard, i have the stosk colors front and back but want to go stiffer without over doing it......... any advice from you "big-air" jumppers would be greatly appreciated.

Not to change the subject but, I thought i'd share something important.
The front "castor-blocks" on our d8ts' are plastic and the threaded portion is vonerable to stripping out from the stress of the front hubs, I figured out that the aluminun upgraded "castor-bolcks" from the "HPI HELLFIRE" are identicle and only cost about $23.00 ( Integy brand on EBAY) compared to buying the ones supposedly only for d8ts' which are about $55.00 + . a great way to "bullet proof" your front end.

HELLO ?
IT doesnt matter who made it, WHAT DOES MATTER is that its made for an HPI product, which a division of HOTBODIES. Its a part that can and will fail and costs half the price, to pay twice THE PRICE would not make ANY sense.

I have bid on these before and have won them for as little as $12.00 A SET.
FINALLY,
I would like to give a big "thank you" to one of our fellow members who instead of publically blasting me on what appeared to be an error on my part as to my thread, he politely sent me a private message stating his oppinion, i strongly dissagree, having (3) d8ts' myself. I APPLAUD HIM FOR HIS MATURITY.
THANKS, PEAKMAN
