Recommended: Due to the increased weight, I recommend adding Foam to the stock tires. Though they do work as is, it drives like you have 8 PSI in your tires and can flatten out with heavy articulation. Additionally, use the narrow 12mm Hex from the kit in the front and standard width in the rear. If you are using custom wheels, adjust offset as needed. Heavier Springs would do it well unless you like the Droop driving experience. The current springs let the rig settle down like it's on hydraulics. It feels nice when driving but may need some preload added or stiffer springs.

CMS Note: If you decide to use the chassis mounted servo option, you must replace the stock axle servo mount with a rear upper link bracket (Stock Not a Tall Riser). My recommendation is to purchase the aluminum Treal Rear Upper Link riser and move the stock plastic upper link mount to the front axle. Once the CMS is installed, the servo will bottom out on the Pan Link before the shocks bottom out. This is a crawler and that it ok, you will still achieve full articulation. If that bothers you, please add about 6mm of nitro fuel line to the front shock shaft to prevent it from hitting. Or internally limit the shock under the piston to shorten the shaft stroke and use the bottom most row of shock-mounting holes.
