new shock springs
ok yesterday i found out my revo has been bottoming out alot in the back so i replaced those srpings with the long travel springs and they dont bottom out anymore but now the front bottoms out and i dont think traxxas supplied me some front long travel shocks so what color shocks would be equivelent to long travel springs

RE: new shock springs
if your bottoming out over jumps the problem isn't the springs, you need to change to a thicker shock oil, slows down the suspenstion travel, i'd say 50-60 wt with the stock long travel springs.
the harder the springs you use, the thick the shock oil should be, anything up to 80 wt depending on how rough your bash spot is and how big the jumps you do are.
the stock springs you get are:
long travel, silver front, blue rear
standard, white front, green rear
i use the stock long travel springs on my revo with the p2 rockers with no problem.
