808 shocks on XT8

Keith,

I was just thinking about the springs. Usually the springs are harder in the front than the rear. Maybe you could compare the average rate difference between front and rear springs of the same color and then use roughly the same difference in front/rear springs. It might end up as violets or blues in the front with the blue greys in the rear....

Just a thought.

So I am going to do this mod to my XT8. At this point I have a shopping list that looks like this:

2 x 808 Rear shock sets.
1(pair) 808 Gey-Blue Rear Springs
1(pair) 808 Grey-Blue Front Springs
1 Set of Losi Shock adapter things

Can someone confirm that this is correct.

Also... What Piston / Oil setup is working well.

Rocco,
You seem to have been running this setup for a while. What is working for you?

For what it's worth!!!

YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

I just got a XT8 to add to my 808 collection and I've already ordered up the 808 shocks, springs, Losi parts, etc..

Of course it will have the following drive train / electronics
• Neu 1515 1Y F
• MGM com-pro ESC 8s compatibility
• 6s, 6000mAH lipos (good for 30+ minutes of track time)
• ECT.

But at least I have the opportunity to learn from you experiences / efforts..

Thank you!..

ok so rear springs all the way around but are you guys running the same springs on all four or are you running different color/rate front to back?
