Does anyone have a template to make or know someone who makes a Shock tower to use revo shocks on the GTP?!?!?

I was told by Robin at the track that Ofna was working on a full set, but when I called them they didnt know anything about it nor did nitrohouse

You use the springs from www.rc4less.com or get them from Mike Ottinger, (speed4less), at the tracks.

I know thats where to get the springs for Revo shocks, we're talking about a better spring selection for the stock shocks, with out cutting 20 mm's off the revo springs.
If you use Revo shocks you have to have a different front shock tower, Ofna should offer a wider selection.
40738- RED SOFT

40739- WHITE MEDIUM

40740- YELLOW HARD
Right now this is all ofna offers for the Do Pro with stock shocks, and the stock black ones that come on the GTP2 are softer than the red

Hmmm.... Good info thanks. I'll just wait on ofna if that's all the advantage is.

While talking about oval and springs, what is the basic idea on the setup on the 4 corners? Please rate your thought on a scale of 1-5 (5 being the most stiff) on how the springs should be placed in softness and stiffness.

Here is my total guess. im going with the right front being the stiffest and the right rear just below that. :confused:
LF - 2
RF - 4
LR - 2
RR - 3

it all depends on the handling of the car as to which corner or shock will be the stiffist .....work on an x when setting up an oval car.....come see me next time your at the track and i will go over it with you hard to explain without seeing it.:thumbs:
