Help with suspension set up

[Talk'n TRAX]

I think I need to Increase the stiffness of my shocks because of how much pre-load i;ve applied just to get the rear end to sag correctly. I also increased my caster angle to 15 degs. with that I also changed my bump steer to what the manual recommends. I adjusted my front camber to about neg. 1-2 degs and the toe out about 1 deg. without actually having camber/toe guages these are probably off. I left the rear stock. I also have blk sway bars front/rear. I have not tested this setup yet do to dead batteries.

I'm look'n for an overall good set up that will minimize body roll, brake dive, improve steering capibilities without understeer, and improve bump steer. FYI, Most of the time I go out bash'n but occasionally i will take it to my local tracks for practice

Any thoughts on this setup, ideas, tips/ tricks, anything would be much obliged.

You will see a nice improvement from the sway bars.
Different/ heavier springs in the back should help.
I went with the 25 lb spring and long travel suspension arms on the back of my Revo and it helped.

50 wt fluid in your shocks, the black sway bar should only be used in the front, leave the rear with the chrome one, use the silver springs in front and blue springs in the rear, rear upper hinge pin in the lower position to lessen body roll, leave front one in the upper position. shim front upper a arms all the way toward rear, if you have a dremel make room for 2 more shims on each side, leave pushrods in middle holes

I set my front casters angled 15° which is the max according to the manual. if i shim it more, do i need to change the outer toe link swivel ball and toe adjustments? Also, because my front push rods are shorter, the front in still bottoms out in the upper ride height position. Should i think about gettin stiffer shocks or will a more viscous shock oil like 50 wt reduce this?

if you use heavier fluid you are almost obligated to use a stiffer spring and vice versa
