Default Suspension setup?

Me and my friends have some Redcat Racing Lightning EPXs. I need advice on how to setup the suspension for drifting. Does anyone have any tips? TIA

I brought myself just one spring pack along with oil filled shocks, used Hard on the back and Medium on the front. They run sweet, absolutely no difference than the stock. Just remember, all chassis's will run differently, so experiment a little!

I don't know much about your chassis, but just throw on some drifting wheels, lock the diffs with a hot glue gun (saves the mess of cleaning it up in the future - blue tac = yuck!). You should be away laughing!

Just don't try drifting around a sleeping dog, they don't like it.

Trust me, I know from experience.

heh.
