sv shocks
 

how are you guys setting your shocks on your sv's, and what springs can i get away with buying?

cheers

If it's the pro version make sure you clean them well before assembly. Depends what surface your running on for springs. If it's grass or astro a set of 4.5 for the front should be enough to buy initially.

2.0 for the rear as kit come with 2.5 , and 4.5 for the front should see u set,dont over tighten the tops down as youll get to much rebound try to aim for 5-10mm

Thanks for the quick replies, I will be running on just grass and astro, roughly which shock oils and pistons should I be using as a starting point

cheers

Try the kit pistons with 25wt rear and 35wt front.

heres are southport set up this was run on grass till it cut up theres around 100 grms a weight in and around the rear of the lipo

How tight do you do them? I am changing the oils in mine this week on the rears.

just enough to stop oil coming out the bleed hole , you should feel them pinch on the outer bit of the bladder then turn about a quarter a turn further, if you go to fare youll never be able to get 5-10mm of rebound

Ah that explains my dubious rebound rates. Cheers :)

I personally run 2.5 rears (kit) and 4.5 fronts, kit pistons and losi oil... 37.5 front 32.5 rear
