Hey blackrain,,What tank is that??

trinity nitro spyder 170 cc

Looks Good blackrain..Looks like a leam mean racing machine..think you might want a less weight radio and servo tray. I am working on two versions Carbon Fiber And Aluminum,, The alum. one is almost done

sounds real good dogman that would deffenetly remove a few more pounds.

I was wondering do you think the aluminum shocks are lighter than the stock ones since they dont have resevoirs.

No The aluminum shocks are actually heavier, not by much tho(maybe a couple grams)..I dont think you could do much better than what you have. Unless of course you went to a different shock altogether but the size and stroke needed I think you have what you need..Maybe heavier springs so you dont have to compress them as much, Just My Opinion..

I thought the white springs were the stiffest they make

They are..But I was thinking about having a spring manufacturer I know build stiffer ones or progressive rate, But I wanted to get several people on board to pool money so it can be done affordably..

i was thinking of cutting the red springs and the white a little and somehow joining them together. maybe making a aluminum spring holder that has a lip on top and the bottom. i think it will be easy to do just make it on the drill press.
