I was just wondering what others are running for shock oil and piston hole size, and springs. Mine is a 4908 maxx and I'm not happy with my setup. I have the trx progressive springs, I've changed to heavier shock oil and it did not give me the efect I want so I need to go lighter just how much I dont know?? Thanks in advance for your input!
 
I run 50wt shock oil and stock springs. I like the front end to come all the way back up after it's compressed and the rear to come back about 3/4's of the way. This works well for the moderate jumping I do, though it makes the rig a little tippy.
 
running traxxas big bore shocks with 50WT oil along with racers edge 20% stiffer springs on the rear along with raven rc dual rate springs on the front corners and stock BB springs on the inboards.

works pretty good for the wide range of places i run the maxx.
