Might want to roll over to the Traxxas site and check out the section with Slayden's set-up sheets and set your truck up with one of his set-ups. With my Revo, I ran the stock springs and oil for a long time, the only major change I made was installing the P2 rockers.

Hey Greg, have a question...has the magazine covered any past articles on shock tuning? My dad was always the set up guy but now, I'm on my own. Something that covers piston and amount of piston holes, oil wts, shafts, springs, limiters, etc and what track conditions to use them. If there is a past issue, let me know cause I'll need to pick that up.

Oh, one of the guys has an old copy of "one of the other magazines" and it covers ride height, weight transfer, etc. I'm new to the off road thing so I'm trying to learn it. I check out Losi's set up sheets and sure, I can set the truck up the same. But I would like to get an understanding of what effects what. Ya know? Dang babble....I'll shut up now.
