Once summer hits I'll probably go up to 35 on the shock weight. The 30 is a bit sluggish with the cold weather and may be a bit too soft when it warms up. The preload numbers on the shocks puts the rear shafts level and the front arms just about level.

So far I have been able to keep the Proline Blades up front, will likely switch to front holeshots in the summer when the track dries out and hardens up.

Rear tires have been whatever is needed for that day at the track.
