I'm still trying to decide on oil weights. I'm definitely staying Tekno Orange in front and Yellow in back. Tried 50 front and 40 back, worked pretty well handling rough terrain, cornering....Etc. Will likely try 60 front and 40-45 rear. Was bashing all Orange 70/60 F/r set up before, just became too bouncy for my taste on rough hardpack. Aiming for more chassis slap on bigger jumps and hopefully less wear and tear on other components. That, and better handling overall.Any updates on springs and shock oil recommendations front and rear? Thanks in advance.

That might work well for you. Depends on how you bash mostly I think and how heavy your rig is overall with battery choice and add ons. My pack is fairly light, but I love doing big and sometimes huge jumps. The Yellow up front seemed too soft for larger jumps in my book. This is really a trial and error and personal preference thing for sure. There isn't a perfect set up for all conditions and all bash spots. I'm going to keep tinkering around and hopefully find my preferred oil combo this next week. Didn't get all the bashing in I'd hoped for the past week, but going softer from rather stiff has been positive overall.Makes good sense and your goal is the same is mine as well. Do you think yellow front and the next softer spring in the rear would be too soft? Don't want anything too bouncy, just something that returns to desired height setting after compressing, if that makes sense lol.
No problem, will do Frank.Report back on your oil combo findings @Rich Duperbash. Thanks again.
Frank I've been meaning to get back to you about oils..Etc, forgot which thread. 50-60 front with Tekno oranges, 40 rear with yellows has been way better overall, far less breakages and better handling.Report back on your oil combo findings @Rich Duperbash. Thanks again.
I'd recommend Orange Teknos up front, yellow rear. Your oil choices sound good.I'm also looking to upgrade my springs soon. I'm really getting the feel for this truck and in doing so, my jumps are getting higher and longer, making the truck bottom out hard on impact. In the video posted on the first page of this thread, it seemed like the rear of the truck bounced quite a bit with those oranges. (He also used part numbers TKR6083 and TKR6089 instead of TKR6038 and TKR6033.)
My terrain is usually rough (rocks, hard-pack dirt) and jumps are big at minimum, huge most of the time. I don't want the truck bouncing it's way on the approach and don't want to keep bottoming out so hard with each landing, so should I go yellow (TKR6032) rears and orange (TKR6038) fronts? Or yellow (TKR6082) rear and orange (TKR6093) fronts?
Probably going 60fr/45r for oils.
Any suggestions from those that push their trucks to the limit?
I'd recommend Orange Teknos up front, yellow rear. Your oil choices sound good.
I'm running the 6082/6093 combo and am happy with it.The 6032 and 6038 combo or the 6082 and 6093. Haven't figured lengths yet.
Appreciate it, Rich!I'm running the 6082/6093 combo and am happy with it.
No problem bro, hope you like them if you give it a try.Appreciate it, Rich!
Thanks Outcaster, I do have a few LHS's that I can consult with to see if they can get the springs.
If I order them off Tekno directly, it is $60 or more in CAD all said and done.
The only thing I am wondering is if the orange's might be too stiff as I will be changing the damping oil to 1300cst front and rear.
I was also looking to grab some Teknos, however, they are very expensive CAD.
Buck, did you or anyone else find the best prices on these, I've looked on Amazon.ca and I'm looking at $60-$70.... Yikes!
@Mad Man Slice, not sure what part of Ontario you are from but I ordered my Tekno orange springs from Hobby Hobby in Mississauga back in the spring. I believe they were $16.99/2, $38.40 total for 4 including tax. Website still shows that price. Good guys to deal with there as well.
