So I'm pretty new to rockcrawling, I just bought the LNC, I've already weighted the wheels, 6oz in fr and 3oz in rear. I was wondering if anyone could help me with setting up my shocks, I.E. oil weight, spring stiffness etc. Right now they are still set up the way they came stock, Spring are set about 1/4 down on tube. Should I loosen them to give the spring full travel? Any info would be helpful, Thanks!!

P.S. I was also wondering if I can change out my stock steering servo for a stronger one without changing the rest of the electronics, Is this possible? And if so, any recommendations on a servo?

You will need to get a BEC to go along with the upgraded steering servo. The stock ESC doesn't supply enough voltage to the steering servo. A BEC allows you to send more voltage to the servo thus giving it more torque to turn the wheels. I run the Castle Creations BEC, it's only about $25, and it is programmable to whatever voltage your servo needs. Some servos run at 6v while others run at 7.2v.

I run the Hitec 7955TG, it is 333oz at 6v. I definitely recommend at least a 200oz or more servo. The stock servo is about 85oz. The JR DS8711 and Hitec 7950TH are both around 400oz.

Can't give you much help with the suspension setup, still working on mine.
