Shock spring set-up ?

Hi guys, i have finished building my XB8 and thought the shocks seemed a bit soft.I was wondering what set up you guys are using so i can get a reasonable set up to start with.At the minute i have 40 in the front and 35 in the rear with the light blue springs, also used the 1.4mm conical pistons.

w/ the buggy being so light you need soft springs. that is a good start and if you need to- try the 1.5 conical pistons. i think you got a good set up. depends on what conditions you run on? run the chassis level and you may want to run the dark blue in the back. try one thing at a time

I have been running 45/30 with 1.4 and kyosho blue springs. 5/7/1 for diffs. Feels great.

I keep forgetting about the XB8 being so light, i am running on a flat grass track, tight turns and a medium length straight with a small type jump.I guess i am just used to my hyper pro-r which needed fairly firm suspension, not sure of the weight difference.
Thanks for the input.RoyG

That is all I have run as well at this time, that is also stock setting if I am correct.
