Well measure the length of your spring,and the number of coils. Then check losi for thier stiff springs.

Try Hpi baja front shocks. I run them on my mt and it is a lot nicer. And give 30 at a try cause stock shock oil if it is even silicone oil. Def not the greatest stuff just like that nasty stuff that is in the diff. That's a good job for naptha

The diffs come from the factory full of grease. You and get diff fluid from DDM.

The rear Baja shocks are 2 piece you can use the larger section for the front and the front Baja shocks make great rears for the Redcats. The X-series are a bit shorter than the MT but it still seems to work pretty good.

You can also pack your diff. with play dough if you want pure grab,however it`s very strainful on your drive train,so do it at your own risk.

That does work good if you want it locked.

You could try Baja front springs on all four shocks. You can also try using thicker shock fluid. I use HPI 40wt in all four shocks.

HPI Shock Oil 40w (100cc) (Baja 5B)

For diff fluid, I use Mugen 7k and 5k. I get it at A Main Hobbies.

30 would be heavier. IMO the stock feel around 20wt

 

[Deluge1]

I couldn't tell what weight the stock shock oil was. Probably cause they skimped on it. My shocks were about a 3rd full.

 

[rchobby89]

thanks guys I got 30wt so ill try it and let you know should I change the diff fluid or is hat all right

 

[Deluge1]

The diffs are filled with some weird gunk. It's a female dog to get out. But yeah, I'd change it.

 

[rchobby89]

what did you use to get it out lol

 

[maddmike]

denarured alcohol did the job Awsome for me

 

[rchobby89]

[Guest]

I use the stainless RC Screwz. http://www.rcscrewz.com/product_info.php/p/rcr012-redcat-racing-1-5-rampage-xb-stainless-steel/products_id/4007

 

[cordy]

+1 on that I use the same thing.

 

[rchobby89]

are they harder to strip the stock onees suck they strip easy I wish they would use torqs srews then they would have something

 

[Guest]

The stock screws are soft steel. They do strip easy. I have never stripped out the stainless screws. I have however, rounded a couple of hex drivers on them.
