Probably Inside/Outside hole on the arm where the shock mounts. Guessing:
Front spring Yellow on outside hole, Back spring is a Front Blue on the Inside hole

Yup!
Sorry for not clarifying. Middle on tower both f/r.

Ok, I'm running blue ft and ft white rear. Putting them in those bottom holes gives a balanced car?
Cool. Thanks.

I tried putting 60g of weight in the front as per an AE setup sheet and the rear wheels would leave the floor when I braked plus it nosed dived like a bitch on any jumps.
I don't have any scales but could someone that's got similar electronics post up what weight they added please.
No exotek chassis, Tenshock motor and a 120a hobbywing speedo on the other side with FT saddle pack batteries.
Thank you.

Same experience. I had the sc4x 4.5 and it was pretty quick.
I started getting beat by the pro4's but didn't want to spend the $ on one.

Tenshock came to the us and I picked up a 4600. Holey smokes! That thing rips.
well worth the $ IMO and only the 1/8 scales can out run me on the straights... and barely.

To the other post, to my knowledge, Tenshock's are manufactured in Germany and distributed from China.

Well, Using my math (just a formula I got offline so It could be wrong, measurements are correct.)
A Blue spring up front on the outside hole gives a wheel rate of: 1.267 lbs/in.
A White spring in the rear on the inside hole gives a wheel rate of: 1.289 lbs/in.

That does not make a lot of sense. Designed in Germany and build in china would make more sense. I have no idea how any of you can even handle that power. I have a tekin 4.5 and it spins 4 wheels everywhere.

Maybe it is built in China, not surebut from what I can tell it is manufactured in Germany.
All things RC come from China so maybe that was their thinking on distributing from there???

This truck absolutely handles the power. Outdoor & indoor... need to be a little easier on the throttle outdoor, indoor, punch it!

Wrong tires for the track, 4 wheel spinning. Correct tires, 4 wheels scrubbing

I love my Tenshock.. Power is very manageable to me. Closest thing I have found to the Jp mod motors I used to run in Truggy.

Maybe you need the center diff

Ahhhh, JP motors, thats going way back.

I think he needs alot more than the center diff! lol!! j/k

I was using Rb's and Novarossi p5's and couldn't grasp why anyone would spend the extra money on those sexy blue headed jp's.... Then I drove one! I have to say they were the most linear engines I ever came across. And you absolutely could not out run one. Got really good run time to boot. Needless to say after the first we never ran anything else on our Mugens.

Phil 60g is way too much. When I would jump the nose would pitch down hard. Maybe try 30g or less. You don't need scales, just trial n error. Its easy to put in weight or take out and take it for a lap or two.

Yeah, I saw that kinwald (or someone) sheet with 60g and was surprised. Kinwald must be looking for something else out of his truck than us mere mortals can drive.
I had 33g (I think) but I'm at 28 left of servo now (exoteck, 550 can, stick pac).

i had 3oz in the front and didnt feel it was to hard to drive. i did go down to 2 oz though just because i felt i had a little to much weight transfer.
