And you didnt contact me?

Basic starting point for Losi shocks is always 56 with 30 wgt oil, trucks I go up 1 wgt in front.

Buggies I start green front, yellow rear springs and adjust from there. 5 link - rear rear.
Trucks - LXT - red/red, maybe orange front to calm it down
XXT - pink/yellow - lightweight soft - yellow/white or white/grey

i didnt contact anyone, Tried searching first. But the thought of this thread was to see what people are currently running, car style. so anyone else building any of these, (especially cars that no one can find set up sheets for) can have a good decent starting point.

I took my jrx pro, and did green front. BUt if i do it on my pro se. same green spring. Isnt there 2-3 different green spring lengths, pro has .9 shocks up front, se has .6 both 1.2 rears. My lxt build i did the xxt set up i think 35 front 30 rear, pink front yellow rear. Kit stock pistons. Course these are all in build mode still. not yet rollers.

Buggy nose are all .6 - unless you take the JRX pro, it had the long 'truck' fronts so .9 rears are all 1.2 until the xx series, then buggies went .6 & .9 (with a longer shaft so they called it a 1.0).

Nice, the tight blue springs may be Kinwald edition ones

I can use a spare XXT truck, just picked one up and I want to get it running.

If any xx or xxt is being given away, can I be considered? I am getting seriously close to buying one, and a freebie would do the RC budget some good!

Also, I had been watching that spring auction, too. I almost pulled the trigger, but I didn't really NEED that many springs.

I'd also like to know the popular suspension setups for the Jrx2 and Pro. I've been trying to fine tune mine for a while now and I've never been that well versed in tuning anything.

I have a hard time setting up my cars when I'm driving. I will usually have a friend drive my car for a few laps while I observe what it is doing or not doing, then adjust from there. Put it back out for 2-3 laps, adjust, put it back out again.

Funny, I can tell the car isnt right when I drive, but hard to know what its doing that I dont want. I watch the car drive and BAM, change this...
