Default Electrix Boost suspension advice please

I have got my scratch built bodytub about right regarding dimensions and allowing suspension travel on the Electrix Boost donor vehicle.
Please see photo.

But when I load up a couple of Action Man / GI Joe figures the weight (around 11oz/300 ish grammes per figure)
almost bottoms out the standard suspension.

I was wondering if there is a reasonably simple/priced upgrade e.g. harder springs.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated,

Bern

Is that thing put together with tape? And yes you can find some good springs for cheap. Try ebay? I would try out some 8 pounders

Default Now running

After fitting stronger shocks and a 70T motor it's now running.

Got a bit sidetracked making the figures and a lot of the cargo but it's been a lot of fun!
