ok i guess, the problem is the truck itself. it seems no matter what i do i can't get it to be plush. it just bounces all the time.
the suspension is very limited on these things.

Welcome to vintage R/C.

J/K, did you try using a softer tire?

[kaiser]

LOL, i have yes. but we all know these things are not going to handle well.

Youre right there. I do remember years ago that the old yellow cva shocks were the ones that worked best for me. Still handled like a turd though.....

Its the front end that makes them bounce. The rear you can fine tune.
