I had a chance to run my crt.5 at the indoor track on Friday. It was awesome with the Revo front shocks. I even liked the stock rear shocks set up with the white springs. It handled just as good as the best setup with the stock shocks, accept now it skims across the whoops straight instead of kicking, and it lands the triple super smooth. It also seems to jump better and more consistently. There were a few times when I was the only car on the track and a number of guys were just watching it run. They were pretty impressed.

My next step is to get Big Bores for the rear so I can run lighter damping, but still have more control. I like the rear white springs, but I have them over damped so they can keep up with the big bore fronts on the big jump landings. With a little lighter damping I'd get more rear traction in the turns.

MetalMan, what rear springs have you tried? Are you able to get the right sag (bones level)?
