Try a half and half setup. Make the shock half sprung from the outside and half sprung from the inside.

Racer4life Could you explain a little more on the half and half set up. Like what springs to use inside and which ones for the outside. If you have springs on the inside is that going to limit the travel of the shock shaft???

First thing I do is take the shocks off. See how that flexes.

If the flex is limited try moving the links around to different spots. Once you get the articulation where you are happy, then add the shocks and adjust them as needed.

My RR had 40-50 easily.

This depends on what shocks you have.

I would put a small spring inside the shock and then a shorter shock on the outside.

You could use a Losi mini shock for the inside. Associated has a bunch of different sized springs for the outside.
