Spec class spring mods.
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Calibri">I’m new to the world of RC and I’m racing a 2 wheel drive Slash in a on/off road spec class. I’m trying to lower the front end of the slash 1/4” to 1/2” while using the stock setup and springs. Is<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>there an easy way to lower the ride height of the stock springs while firming them up slightly? I had initially thought about heating them up but couldn’t figure out an easy way to do this without causing pain to myself in the process and controlling amount of lowering. Second thought was to cut out a couple of turns from the springs but I wasn’t sure how it would make the car handle in the end.<o

RE: Spec class spring mods.
You want to disassemble the shock and put 1/4 to 1/2 inch of fuel tubing on the shock shaft INSIDE the shock body under the piston. This will shorten them up a little and because they are progressive rate they will get into the stiffer part of the spring faster.
