Hi i am running a vintage 1980/2010 re re hybread scorcher and wondered if anyone can help i am running stock vintage shocks dampers and they are shocking. the oil keeps falling out i have turned them upsidedown and re built them but they are obviously worn. Anyway back to my question

Has anyone run originals with crp coil over kits and are they any good and do they leak or am i better to go re re using stock springs. also do re re s leak after a bit. I use the car as a basher but its very competertive indeed and i need to be able to get the edge over the others.
the rough rider is the more stable car so i need the have a good set up to win.

the surfaces we run are varied sand wet and semmi dry,(beach) loose and semi compact sandy dirt mountain bike track, woodland walkway paths and an old slate quarry so shale and smooth ish rock in that one.
I currenly run soft setting at the front and i have weekend the tortion bars at the rear so the suspention works as real suspention should but with out proper damping so its too bouncy(duff dampers/shocks). If i run stock settings the rear is to high and bounces to much effecting the steering and if you run the fonts on the hard setting it just snow plouges. I have tweeked the front springs now so its now soft enough but i am sure it could be better can any one help or ecomend other setups that might give me the egde.
I know its been covered b4 but i cant find any info.

Hi i am after re-re scorcher stuff for swap or buy 1980 originals.

Hay i am running a 1980 scorcher alongside my boy who has a 2010 re re .
I have watched them play and sat on the sidelines while he has the fun due to breakdowns and flat batterys whilst he smashes badword out of it and has had no mechanical failures at all even servo saver pops and ball joint wheel offs and stearage offs. I have now also gone electronic speed controler after he took the mick as his battery lasts so long this leads me to the only failure

i can see the reverse when going forward takes an age to learn double stick and with only half power its not so good for emergency stops reversing out of the clag and rear end sliding.
i have no more messing about with burning speed controlers
The suspession is softer but this just seems to make it grip more and not rattle the body off. it does scuff the gearbox more tho
the shocks retain there oil and dont fill up with sand
the ball joints on mine pop for a pass time his never have even thoe he is six and just loves to get air when ever he can.

i have gone the speed controler route and am looking for shocks now i have some to swap. I am also looking for rear tortion bars

Dont worry i am keeping my 79 shelfer as just that but re re has to be the way forward well done Tamiya
