Thank you. I did order a set of red fronts yesterday as well as another kit for my friend. We also got your recommended bmax4 wheel spacer and B4 rear hex.

I have 60wt Losi oil in front with the 6 holes pistons and felt good. tried 450cst and didn't like it. Rear is 350cst oil

Which piston? The black or white? Taper side up or down? 1.0mm vs 1.1mm. I have only one pair of the black pistons, last one they had. How did they affect the front end?

The best thing you can do is go to track with a range of oils and springs and just try different things

Plan to do just that but I would like the best starting point and go from there so I can save setup time and concentrate on driving. I want to make sure the car is not totally undrivable straight out of the box. We have two kits now and we're going to test back to back different things. We are excited!
