Default suspension tuning

i need help fine tuning my suspension for off road use(racing on grass). the terrain is smooth in some parts then rough in another with a 180 turn. it has a speed section which is a little wavy. then a 90 right up hill, then 90 right onto smoth straight. 45 right then from that turn to the 180 its nothin but bumps and pot holes inches high and inches deep. there is 1 left hande turn, but no ramps, but can get a couple inches off the smooth wavy straight.

to much detail can b good, and confusing. hope this helps.

I would suggest experimenting with some differant springs and shock mounting positions(not sure on teh Revo)....if you can't get the result you want??then try some differant WT shock oils.... or new rockers.it may even be that your diff setup is wrong for the track....but the cheapest and easiest way to start tuning the suspension is with the springs and oil weights
