Thanks Flo!


Changed the piston on the front shocks from 2 hole to 4 hole and filled it with the same oil as rear, AE 20wt.
Better, but springs is way too stiff to make the suspension doing its job.


Then I found some softer springs, which I belive is Tamiya, no idea for what.


Now it working better. Could be better still, but enough for now.


Also resoldered the motor wires as I was not totally happy with it.

Finally I fitted some foam tape from some MST wheels as one of the rear tires slipped on the wheel.
Also changed the screw on the servo saver as it was sorta loose. Seems the splinee gear bushing is shot as it wobbles. Another problem for another day..
