My shocks seem incredibly soft on my matrix buggy. Any suggestions how to "stiffen them up a bit?"

My primary driving conditions...

Home,
Construction sites,
Park.

Haven't been on the track enough to adjust it to that. Those 3 locations are pretty much it. Big jumps, lots of dirt / stone / gravel. Just havin some fun before the year is out :-)

Thicker shock oil perhaps? If ya got any suggestions post a link to some if ya could :-)

Peace out cub-scouts!! I'll be back to read comments :-)

Stiffer oil. Try 35w or maybe even 40w. CEN does make white springs that are supposed to be stiffer as well. I love proline crimefighters but the tire ? is all a matter of preference. Knuckles are great and also available pre-glued.

Status: offline 		Wow! Lots of great feedback in a matter of 5 hours!

Ok, I suppose I'll do some research on the springs mentioned and look into the thicker shock oil. Perhaps I could find some on a-main or tower hobbies.

This springs is something I'll need to google. A lot of the alternate parts for the matrix buggy i'm unaware of the source.
