Typhon 4s Typhon: Droopy Shock Springs

[Grimbles]

Hi all, I've got my Typhon mega upgraded to 4s now (woop). However, with the metal front and rear diffs and yokes, a hardcase 4s battery and 40mm can I am getting a lot of suspension droop and little rebound. Currently have the hot racing aluminium shock bodies with stock 4x4 mega springs and the collars all the way down.

Anyone have any suggestions for some stiffer springs that fit this mix? Need to be standard arrma 3s diameter (which i think is 17mm inner, 20mm outer). Are any of the other 4x4 shocks (e.g. kraton 4s) a good switch?

As I understand it my current springs are:

F - 70mm, 1NM
R - 80MM, 0.84NM

With the HR shock bodies, think i could have longer springs.

Kraton 6S springs are what I used to run on mine with 80W

Cheers chap - so the kraton 6s springs are the same diameter as the typhon 3s springs?

Well I was running 6S shocks. I guess I didn’t mention that. I bought a set of Typhon 6s shocks but they were too short and soft. Added Talion shafts and Kraton springs. Ended up really nice.

Hmmm might roll the dice with kraton 4s shocks!
.. or not, actually less bounce than the typhon springs... will keep searching

The 4S springs are softer than the 3S and also too big diameter. 3S shock bodies are 15mm and 4S are 20mm.
Have you tried more preload?

Maxed out on preload. Ive found some random shock springs which might be the same size... they were cheap so will give them a bash. Thanks also for confirming re/sizes!
