well my first outting with the 8ight buggy this weekend and I am in heaven, beat my rival Hyper9 by a full lap in the final! Only one queation, I have the setup as Adam shows on you tube, but when I land after jumps the buggy is bottoming out (belly is hitting the ground) how do I fix this with out changing the handling as she handels very sweet!?

You can't have both sadly. A little bottoming out is something you'll have to live with, especially if the car handles the rest of the track to your suiting.

I'm running stock oil and pistons front and rear. Only change is silver springs in the rear.

Try the green springs on the rear. They are a little stiffer but if your winning who cares.:)

you can build the shock with a touch more rebound to help with bottoming resistance
