Typhon 6s Shock Springs

[aneft]

Hey all. Still holding out on the maiden run of the 4s Granite/Typhon build and looking over some details. With the 4s brick and 1415 motor in the truck I feel like the weight is to much for the stock springs and I get too much chassis slap from low heights and low rebound coming back. Would stiffer springs help this? I think stock oil weight is 60 but should I bump that up as well?As always, thanks in advance for feedback?

If you added weight, I don't see how it would hurt to replace with a thicker fluid in the shocks. I looked last night for a little bit and had trouble finding much higher viscosity shock fluid. Fortunately diff fluid is the same stuff so should make it easier to find a viscosity you're looking for.
Can't be a bad thing to try and see what works out.

Another consideration could be the $20 M2C shocks pistons kit for more tuning detail.

He also offers a $60 set that comes with new caps.

Typhon 6s stock shock oil is 550cst (around 43wt approximately). Adding thicker oil as suggested will help with landings but will slow your rebound down even more.

If you're looking into springs here's a thread with the stock arrma spring weights and part numbers and Tekno springs for comparison purposes.
