Yeah man. I have MT resi shocks on it. The springs are too stiff, will NOT be that good for jumping and absorbing that impact.

Any recommendations?

i have not been through enough brand parts to really know. ride response on road is tedious, off road with medium to soft seems better for my style of running.

towers by 7075rc give more shock point fixation combos, that might give you more options with better shocks , or could always swap old springs onto new hardware thats stuff you already have

true dat! stuff breaks...if the scale of speed and mass are keep in mind while slamin' its amazing it stays together at all....remember these are "models" not "TOOLS" even a $10k "tool grade model" will break, just like six figure ROV's, or million$ drones all have failure and brutal maintenance schld's that eat money like potato chips

and better pilots have LESS breakage, pilot your stuff with reasonable consideration or it will eat parts EVERYTIME

100% true...I break my stuff all the time and never cry to all that its a POS because its my crummy driving and ruthless disrespect for my kit lol. A 1/1 could not handle half that these rc's can in their scale.

You can run Baja springs on MT shocks. You need two sets of front springs. What weight are you running in the shocks? Might need thicker oil for more dampening.

Im running 40wt all around. 2 sets of front on all 4?

doesn't the rear need a bit harder springs than the front?

Yeah, run HPI front springs on all four shocks. Spring stiffness is determined by the surface you run on.

Thanks for the picture. Very informative.

What does bottoming out mean?

That's when the frame hits the ground from the suspension compressing to the max...
