Question DEX 210 springs & oil

Hi all,

Rather than ask on the Durango section I thought I would ask in here, if you don't mind that is

My car has the blue springs and seems a bit high. It's mid motor and I run a shorty if that's relevant.

What would you experienced lot suggest for springs and oil?

Oh and cheers for a good night's racing and pub afterwards!

Cheers

Ryan

Im not expert.. but i change spring to suit the track, that changes every week.
last week i used very soft springs, 2 weeks ago. i used hard springs.
I use same shock oil all round at all time, which is I think 27wt oil on my losi 22.

Some driver drills thier piston to enlarge the holes in piston. Maybe i should try that next.

1.6 2 hole pistons all round
500, dark red, middle tower, outer bone on front
350, black, middle tower, middle bone rear
Medium wheelbase with rear shocks on the rear if you have time to mess about

should do the job

If you need more steering drop to 450 in the front, move shocks in one on bones and preferably add around 25g in front or under servo area.

The biggest change I've notice in the short time running the car is diff oil

Personally I'm up to 5K now on the grippy stuff. I know some of the chaps run it a lot lighter though.
