Shock setup for bashing..

Do you guys have a suggestion fir shock oil weight to let my e-revo handle some bashing and jumping? Any additional suggestions?

I run 50wt and variable damping pistons in the rear, along with the second stiffest springs.

50wt oil,Silvers Front,Pink Back

Best setup on or offroading is 70wt oils all around, variable dampening installed with #2 pistons and Blue rear sliver front springs. If you don't jump much or just hit really small jumps you may want to run 60wt oils, but if you have big old jumps around like I do you'll love the 70wt oils w/ vdr

Thanks guys.. I'll try some 70wt... she's bottoming out pretty hard ever from a small jump...

Get some springs too ! the stockers are part of the problem cause there to soft.

I know i have some spairs, I'll check and see what I have 'in stock'...

Hmm.. The truck has Integy rocker arms installed.. I see there are long-travel rockers available.. which of course makes a lot of sense, given my desire for less crashing into the ground...

Does anyone have any idea which one's these are? P1, P2?

my e-revo doing alot of nose diving ... im using the LONG TRAVEL ROCKERS AND PUSHROD SPACERS with front silver and rear blue spring on 60wt oil on all corner and Varable Damping Piston #2 and the valve on top ... I cant really see how to fix this ...

I think that part of why the Revo works so well on the track is because of it's ability to dive, roll and squat.. makes driving it less abrupt..

Unless of course, you are referring to nose-diving while in the air?

[Jason]

Yes when I try small jump and more higher one ..

What do you do with the throttle when you launch it?

[Jason]

nothing I tried with some throttle and without and same thing

[Bondonutz]

When the truck is nose down in the air give it some throttle, the spinning tires will help bring the nose up
When the truck in nose up in the air give it some brake, slowing the tire spin will force the nose down.
I had the blue springs on the back mine and didn't care how it sprang the rear up, went to silvers front and back and she jumps sweet now (for me and my application?)

[Jason]

do you have your front and rear pushrod links on the middle hole on the arms ? and do you use more preload collar on the rear then the front ?
