I have a DB Pro that I plan to run in parking lots or in the dirt as a get-together vehicle. I noticed on the parking lot initial run that the shock spring could stand to be stiffer - lots of squat, dive, and some roll. It was not clear which spring could fit these shocks, as the spring specifications seem to not state the inner diameter, and it was also foggy how the SCTE, 22, and DB Pro compared on these springs. So I bought the stiff fronts (TLR233020) to learn if they would fit. In fact, the TLR233020 springs are a bit small in diameter, like around 15.5mm versus the 17mm that come with the DB Pro. Are there other springs on the market that would fit the stock DB Pro shocks?
Hello
It is a fun RC to bash....I really enjoy mine after few minor tweaks... I feel the shocks are good since it is not a jumper/send it RC and I run it like a desert buggy. The shocks respond REALLY good AFTER some needed changing.
- Stock Front Shocks: 30wt
- Stock Rear Shocks: 30wt
- 42.5/30wt f/r (currently running)
I like the 42.5 in the front along with the shock collars adjusted on all sides. Most important change was adding the drop screws. The shock pull at the shock bottom end. They did not add the droop screws in although it had a metal chassis. After adding those I adjusted the droops to take the stress off the shock bottom and this allowed the shocks to have the recoil they needed to be a good performer. Took that out you are seeing and they come back up when I push the front/back down quickly.... It would hang before the droops.
I posted that here:

See how the arms are more up after adding the droops this greatly helps the shock springs work as designed
