Default Atomic Carbon Upgrades for the Cat SX

Hi Guys,

So who is running the new Atomic Carbon upgrade parts.
Whats your thought on these.
Just ordered myself some of the Front & rear shock towers.

Also hear some ppl been running Losi shocks on the cats, cause thier bigger volume for shock oil etc.
Anybody here tried it?

just for a fun wild shot in the dark...

Front
black or red piston
green springs
30-35wt oil

Rear
orange or blue piston
pink springs
27.5 or 30wt oil

I have always found that to be a reasonable start no matter what 4WD car you bold a set of Losi shocks on

*** please note, this is just a wild shot in the dark, I have never ran a cat ***

Jonathan and I were testing the AC upgrade parts at the last round of Coventry and I must say they have improved an already brilliant car especially over the bumpy sections of the track.

I now run the new Schumacher Lipo friendly chassis with AC Lipo locating part, top deck, front and rear shock mounts.

Not tried the Losi shocks so I cannot comment

Can you buy the Losi shocks as a complete set or do you have to buy
all the parts separately? I presume you have to get a set of Losi springs,
or can you use the Cat ones? Thanks
