Axial AX24 - First Five Upgrades for BIG Performance GAINS!!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- In this video I go over my first five mods for the Axial AX24 XC-1! The primary goal of these initial upgrades is to lower the center of gravity, improve stability and climbing, and improve steering strength and precision. I also throw in a couple of bonus mods to further boost performance. The full parts list with links to the products is in the description below!

I don't know why everyone hated these I liked them to start with but I'm hoping to buy one eventually and mainly upgrade the tires and servos
It was kinda like the UTB18. Everyone was confused and put off by the initial thought of it. But as soon as you get some time with one, the opinion changes pretty quick.
The main reason I saw was bc of the lack of upgraded parts it’s the same “stock” parts that crap out under very limited stress quickly(ie same servo, transmission, etc). Also the lack of mobility with the electronic layout and the lack of LCG. I don’t personally have one and I personally wouldn’t mind owning one the way it sits But allot of the Axial followers I think were expecting a bit more and they were let down. Im currently building a spare parts 4ws truck right now and I’m only in it $24. IMO I would love to try one before I say anything but everyone’s opinion will be different upon preference
I’ve got 4 modded scx’s and a new ax24 for ma bday. Did wide hexes. Still needs diff covers and knuckles plus beadlocks. Great rig. Turns on a dime. Keeps up w modded trucks. Kinda bought not built type rig rn. It’s amazing.
I think a budget build would be a good idea, you certainly cracked the problems with the upgrades you’ve made
Now that I know what works, it will be easy to replicate on a budget. I'm on it!
Just watched this one... If my math is correct, there is over $450 invested in the final product! I see there is a budget build video, its next on the agenda...
Hey Adam, I want to say thank you for all your videos. I got a bronco in April, ran it for about 2 minutes and shelved it as a decoration. Ran across your videos by accident and was blown away. I started building and am loving this little rig. Never thought I'd be running no shock springs. Amazon is now coming more for me than my girlfriend lol. Keep up the great work man!
Thank you for watching! I love that story. These things are so fun once you get modifying. Have fun with your Bronco!
The Amazon joke was nice
@@CapeCrawlers I've learned so much from your videos. Awesome to have access to your knowledge. Also great you get all the cool parts and I can pick what seems best lol.
Sweet little crawler can’t wait to get one and I would love to see a budget build
I just discovered on my ax 24 last night that if you tighten the servo arm mount, the servo saver gets less forgiving and the steering becomes MUCH better. Since this is my 893920th crawler I wanted to see how much I could drive it in some local comps without modding it too much
Good tip on the servo! I'll have to try that.
Thank you this helped a lot on my ax24
@@CapeCrawlers it helps a lot, tried it and the steering started to shift the whole truck
Budget build would be really cool and then they can face off with each other just throw some cheap injora parts at it and maybe do a sub 150 dollar build. Those negative offset wheels and 64 mm tires would look really gnarly on this thing and cheaper than the little guy racing parts
It would be like Ford vs Ferrari, AX24 edition!
I definitely think you should do a budget build. Really getting into this hobby based on your video. I have the Gladiator, my son has the bronco and wife is getting it to it also and the c10. So starting out I like to see what can be done on a budget. Thanks for the great content
I love that your entire family is into it! That is so awesome. I will work on the budget build!
I’m working out how to do a budget build with this one with best performance and right now it’s adding up to 240
It just be a motor 2 sirvos a tiny bit of brass and shocks upgrade everything else like even tires are surprisingly good
Out of the box the ax is so much more capable than an scx or fcx but when you fully upgrade an scx or fcx or ax they end up the same. Tiny comp chassis' already exist. We been running independent 4ws forever. Long travel shocks have been out for ages. Also remember the "new" ax stills runs a complete scx drive train. Unfortunately it also still runs those horrible electronics. If your new to the 24 game go for it grab an ax. But for me and many others its nothing new and current comp rigs will destroy it. This is why many say "we wanted more" and if not more give us something different. 7.5/10👍🤠👍
Can't argue with your logic. I'm finding this with the TRX4M. The more you modify it, the more it becomes more of the same. That's not a bad thing, as the process is always fun, but all roads seem to lead to the same destination with these.
Or you can just get it and add another fun different truck to the collection... I don't have a spending problem I promise !!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Hey Adam, I finally have some money saved up, and i want to know if it is better to upgrade wheels and tires, or shocks / flex blades first? ( on an SCX24)
Wheels and tires for sure!
@@CapeCrawlers thank you!
Great build! This is first on my wish list for my first mini crawler. Is there another 50 motor option you would recommend? Maybe one with a little less “whine” in it.
Yes, I like the Mofo RC torque beast and the LGRP reaper or predator motors. I actually put a Mofo motor in this initially but broke my wires during install.
So question...the ax24 technically uses a servo mount different than the scx24 did you have any issues using the scx24 servo mount
I did not. I used a 4-link compatible scx24 tray and threaded the AX upper links to the outside of it. Worked great. Slightly more narrow than stock but doesn’t seem to hurt it
Is that the tray that comes with the epi ion emac in your link above?
Can you make a video for the mini Orlandoo hunter kits and if you do can you please put a link in the description for all the electronics. This is just a video recommendation thank you
Yes! I actually just had my orlandoo kit delivered yesterday. Hoping to start the build this weekend
Perfect timing 😂
Hey Adam got another question how did u center rear servo? Put emax on mine and can get it center ..kinda permanent crab walking
There's no easy way to do it unfortunately. Ive heard of folks using adjustable links, or messing with the horn position and linkage mount on the horn itself. Also plugging the rear servo into the CH1, trimming it, then switching channels again. For me, none of that worked. I ended up swapping out electronics and using a Flysky tx/rx combo which allowed me to trim the rear servo independently. If that isnt an option for you, the adjustable steering links seem to be the most popular method.
@@CapeCrawlers thank u very much for this information..very helpful keep up the great videos
Is that swamp kings tires for this build?
Yes, exactly
Been following your SXC24 builds and was going to do an Injora Rock Buggy build and had no idea Axial had an AX24.....now I have to decide which is the better option LOL I like the Rock Buggy look but all wheel steering is hard not to try.
The mods made a big difference. I picked one up yesterday from my local. I haven't driven it yet, this will be my first 4ws rig. I did pull a few parts out of my bin to put on after the first run. I think the brass skid plate really help eliminate the bounce from the shocks, nice!!!🤘🤘🤘 For myself, the servos are the last thing I swap out. I run them till they break. On 7 of my 12 24's they still have the stockers. Yea there are stronger ones but the stock one work.
I’m amazed at the longevity you get out of your servos!
If you swap out your stock motor and esc/receiver combo for a furitek venom setup with a separate receiver and esc will you still have 4ws?
Great video. I'm considering in buying this crawler. Any upgades you know of to cut down or eliminate the high pitch noise it makes when moving?
Awesome I was at Nankin hobby today, they have a little indoor course for the 1/24 scales had a blast, they didn’t have one of these rigs they was all sold out. But I did get a pro Lane cliffhanger body,
When adding weight on 4ws trucks am I still looking for 60/40 distribution?
Awesome video man, it is now behaving exactly like I expected it would. I think as you stated there are much more budget friendly options to achieve the same end result. I question the need for that carbon fiber chassis but it sure does look cool =). I also wonder if the 66t Injora would have smoothed the throttle response out a bit, seems a little jumpy. It might just be the limitation of that ESC because it feels jumpy out of the box as well. The 66t while not quite as torquey, is smoother. Great build I am waiting on my parts to come in to start my build as well. Did you use the standard servo trays that come with the Injora kit, even thought they do not have the slots for the links? great content bud!
Thanks! I did use the standard servo tray and the links threaded in perfectly on the outside of the tray, just like the four link conversion on the SCX24. I think you're right about the 66t. I may swap this out for my LGRP Reaper motor as that is super smooth. I also feel like something is binding and contributing to the jumpiness, but I can't pinpoint it. Let the tinkering begin!
@@CapeCrawlers gotta get into the scale/realism side of things!
Jones David Thomas Robert Garcia Larry
Wow I didn’t see your normal intro.
Good stuff...just nit picking...."dont wanna add rotational mass from wheel weights"...adds hesvier tires and rims...i have a motor enroute with more torque....Is it the esc that produces that loud whine alone?...or a combo of the motor and esc?
This rig seems not to be able to crawl on slow speed. Though cheaper chinese stock rigs can. That's why i still don't buy one.😢
With this improvement, your AX24 would be the ultimate beast.
I feel like something is binding in the drive train and causing that jumpy throttle. I can feel it sticking. Hopefully I can find the root cause and get my slow crawl better!
I've been looking at these for a week or so, watching videos. Realizing that they are only rc cars but axial needs to rethink the geometry of the links. It has a problem with push off and it lifts the left front on climbs as well as the anti squat are all off. If they got a 4link calculator it would only help how it performs...
Fantastico ...questi upgrade sono molto utili...gran modifica ...ora è molto racing ...bel video... ciao dall'Italia
That’s crazy just a few mods transformed it into even more of a beast
Certainly didnt take much to wake it up
Ah yeah one more mod earplugs 😂
Nice rig man g you guys cost me a lot of moolah
Season greetings buddy and all the best for you and your family 🎅🏼🎄
Yeah big difference, I sure would’ve got one today if they had them
Awesome tutorial, I have one the way! Could you please tell us the noise it makes? Thank you
Yeah I watch for budget build, appreciate you sharing as always. Love the video, I’ll watch for the next one until then peace and chicken grease 😁👍👍😎
Thanks for watching! I hope you get your hands on one of these soon.
I can't decide between the SCX24 or the AX24, help! 😅
Very very sweet rig now. wish axial would help with upgrades before sending these out
Agreed!
Man I ordered the servo you recommended but I don’t see how that servo mount can work with the AX24. Seems like the AX24 is 4-link but the servo mount is for the SCX. I think I’m missing something? Thanks!
Thread the upper links to the outside on the linkage mounts on the servo
Great build it really performed well on the course. I would like to see a budget build on the other because I believe mine will fall somewhere in between. Thanks for another great video.
Thanks! I will do the budget build soon.
Nice pretty much everything I was thinking about doing..
It all works together great!
If my Mt24 build wasn't so top heavy I'd love to see it on that mountain you have. I'm sure it would tip. It has all metal in it but still tips.
It would be a tough climb for a monster truck build for sure
Brand new to this hobby, I picked up this thing yesterday and have been watching tons of videos on upgrades. Is there a better shock option for these? And thank you for all the great info that you pass along to us.
I haven't seen shock options for the AX24 yet, but I am sure we will see them soon. Thanks for watching!
@@CapeCrawlers ok thanks , just wondering . I know this little crawler is new . I’m sure there will be something eventually . Thank you and I appreciate all the info and great videos.
@@CapeCrawlers Could you not just use SCX24 shocks in whatever size you want?
Great video Adam. Yep the rigs looking epic... john
Thanks John! I am really enjoying this thing.
I used to frequent centerline hobbies as a kid!
i mean you could impressingly improve the slowcrowl easy and get ridof the noisy sound by adding a additional tiny ESC, we used to do it with the V1 ESC.... and the esc dudes have a ready build and improved for Axial as well, called ASX24... here is a video showing how to ruclips.net/video/cnaWUVUusmY/видео.html
Great tips!
GREAT VIDEO!!!!! In it you say when upgrading the steering servo to get the tray set up for 4 link conversion, is that the tray we get if we order from the link you provided?
Thank you! And yes, that tray is what I am still using on this (front and back).
Starting to have 2nd thoughts on the shocks, when I get this.
I read that this thing has 51mm shocks....what's 3 more mm just to get another set of those 54mm shocks? Which I'm starting to think about getting for this rig. Lol
I just hope that both Treal & Injora come out with links & drive shafts for this specific rig, all in all, & definitely need weights for all 4 corners of this rig, as well.
What's another 7mm for 58's?! LOL I'm expecting a flood of links and brass and shocks for this thing soon. Treal and Injora act so fast!
@@CapeCrawlers even 58s. Lol
But yeah, I'd expect that out of them.
Ouch $300 hurts the wallet when the rig is 150$ I feel axial could have done some of weight transferring lower from the factory. I just hate that its basically a scx24 with minor changes and 4ws.
I could get the result with half the cost I think. $300 was surprisingly high, but I did use premium components (except steering) for a lot of it. But you're right.
Hello, is there anything you would change in this build now? I have a stock ax24 and am looking to do all the mods you have done here. Thanks
I would do the Injora MB100 brushed esc as the one of, if not the first upgrade. That will then make all of the others work so much better.
This is like my dream build. I have been trying so hard to get one of these and it is not easy in my country. I love each and every single build you do and I don't know if this is the best place to ask this but I'm just going to go for it because you probably get too many DMs anyway. Would you sell this? I'd love to get this from you! You took the best crawler out there and fixed every problem it had including the servo and those tires and the weight!
Possibly. I'm already pretty deep into it as you can tell. But shoot me an email if you want to chat more about it.
@@CapeCrawlers Emailed you!
Well I broke down n sold one of my trx4m so I could put that $ towards an Axial ax24. What should the first upgrade be? Gotta go slower with this, make it more satisfying, lol.
I think the brass knuckles and diff covers would be first, or the brass skid and carbon fiber frame rails. Either one will help a lot for stability which is what it really needs
Night and day difference brother 👍🏻 keep up the good work
Totally! Will do!
I'm making a indoor crawler course and I was wondering what kind of bridge I should make! Can you please help me out m8?
A couple of ideas: I made a log bridge with some rope and tree branches. It's a lot of fun and looks great on the course; very organic. Also, my local hobby shop made a bridge out of two parallel pieces of rope. It's SUPER challenging and really easy to set up!
@@CapeCrawlers thank you very much mate I definitely love log bridges
Great video. I really like these these rigs, but why are they so noisy? That whining sound would ruin me. My FCX24 is silent by comparison.
The esc is pretty crappy. It’s noisy and the slow crawl is lacking. It can definitely benefit from an upgraded set of electronics!
Cool another 400 project 😎
They never end!
@@CapeCrawlers thank goodness 😅
Cool👍
I like it so far!
I like what you did with your video! (And the truck) never thought they could get better!
Thanks! We can always improve :)
Hi
Did i get that right?
You don't use non vented beadlock tyres without inserts because they don't handle that good when it comes to sidways performance?
You should make a Video an Lipos, how to charge, how to store them and what kind of charger you use.
I feel like you can use a tall tire with no insert so long as the tire/wheel is not vented. The air pressure inside the tire gives it some strength. But I am not a fan of running big tires with no inserts on a vented set up because that's when you get the super wobbly sidewalls.
Hey Adam - with having both heavy modded AX24 and scx24, which do you prefer?
SCX24. Although stretching the wheelbase of the AX24 helps tremendously. I still prefer the SCX platform though
There is a pretty good chance I wouldn't have WASTED my money on this crawler had I know you need to dump a ton of parts and MONEY into just to make it a decent unit. Not everyone has a handful of money and parts laying around and honestly, you shouldn't have to dump anything into it. Do not buy it people. Save your money.
I know lots of folks who have fun with it as is. I think we as builders have high expectations. But with that said, all things considered I found it frustratingly tippy stock
anyone figure out how to trim the rear steering? I picked up an AX24 today and it drives sideways! ARGH. so annoying.
I haven’t yet unfortunately
You know what would make it better, much lower gearing not higher. It could actually crawl without surging the throttle. Why do we want a crawler to go faster.
I just got some underdrive gears I may try front and back.
Hay Adam I had a question about the Jeep wrangler how did you do the 4link in the front the y link is limiting my flex
I bought the Injora aluminum high clearance link kit with the four link front. Also had the Injora servo tray that's threaded on each side which allows for the four link setup.
FYI the motor will not work with standard frame rails, the motor itself contacts and binds the linkage to where it is not usable. 10:41
Do you mean the stock metal frame rails? I've put two different 050 sized motors in this now and both seem to be working perfectly but I did this sequentially, with the motor coming after the frame rails.
Love your videos, before I seen this I've ordered the emaxx servos with green mounts and horns, brass skid plate, green alloy shocks, green nexx racing steering racks, injora green beadlocks, brass wheel extensions with solid brass weights built in, brass diff covers and a .50 high torque motor, I ordered all this then ordered the green ax24, cars come, just waiting on parts now to mod it, love the car already,
Just ordered the carbon side plates too. 😊
I also have 2 x scx10 ll and 1 capra, all fully modded with axe systems and lots of brass
I installed the same motor in my AX24 but I am getting a lot of torque twist, is their anything you did to reduce it?
That's going to be tough. Torque twist is largely due to the chassis and suspension setup. Swapping out the shocks for an aftermarket unit that has preload adjustment can help you dial these in. Stiffer springs will help mitigate the twist.
Do this but for scx24
I’ve got a first five mods on the channel for the scx24 👍🏻
From a toy driver, to a mad driver
Is it better to just buy everything separate and build it on your own or buy and mod it??
It depends. I personally like the process of iteratively modifying a rig. But it's also cool to see a box of parts become a very capable crawler! Just depends which you prefer I think.
That's sick!!! Looks great awsome video.
Thanks for watching!
So what did you use for the servo tray because I haven't found one that is it four link setup
I used an aluminum SCX24 tray from Amazon, but I have since gone back to the stock trays. For the SCX24 tray, I just threaded the AX24 links to the outside of the linkage mounts and that worked for the four link. But, it's closer together than stock, and I think that may have been causing some binding, so I switched back to stock.
Great vid! Cheers!
Thanks for watching!
Subscribed and saved this video. Nice rc! I might invest in one of them.
Thank you! It's a very fun rig. I'll have more content coming for these soon.
Budget build on the green one would be awesome!
Let's do it
Great video! Are you planning to do one on the Furitek Cayman Pro?
I would like to! It's been tough to get my hands on a Cayman, but I am hoping to soon.
lil nova foams are small but wide, how well does it fit inside the big swamp king tires? The inner foams from LGRP are garbage, mine was deformed. So I use Ox 1/24 Foams from ebay. They are big and wide perfect fit with my trail kings, but should fit the swamp kings.
I trim the lil nova's to fit, otherwise they look and act like balloon tires. I've never tried the Ox foams. I'll have to check them out.
@@CapeCrawlers The same guys that sell the ox motor. They also have thin slices "tuning" disks. But I never used those, just the foams they sell. Was gonna buy fluber stuffers but its like 40 bucks. They're 3d printed so it should be a lot less. They must make good profit selling those. Ox foams are good enough for me.
Just started modding my ax24. It seems like you’re able to independently control your rear steering. How did you manage this? It seems I only have the 3 presets that are programmed on my controller
I ended up upgrading my radio and esc to one that has the independent rear steering. Stock you are limited to the three positions
@@CapeCrawlers I have a dx5 radio. And I have a handful of sr3100 receivers. I’m assuming I could with the dx5. It the reciever is gunna be my limiting factor
How were you able to center the rest servo ?? Mine is not dead center when I use channel 3
Messing with the horn position and linkage mounts. Adjustable steering links seem to be the best/cheapest fix.
Adam you are the man. I wanted to pick your brain on my next crawler. I’m looking to make my ultimate almost comp build I guess. Furitek cayman 4x4 or a nice modded AX24?
Any input would be great.
I will give you my subjective opinion and that is that building a rig from a stock SCX24 is my preferred approach. Only because I (personally) love the process of incrementally upgrading a vehicle. I find it so gratifying and rewarding to see the progress as you modify. The Cayman, although it is a performance bargain, kinda takes the fun out of the build in my opinion.
You are the man. I agree whole heartedly. Life is for living
ok im new to crawling so may be a silly question, i have a ax24 and i installed new servos for the steering front and rear. How can (or cant) adjust my rear wheel steering trim? or what is a good radio needed for this? Have heard good things about the Flysky. Any help?
Hey Dave, a lot of us are asking that same question. I solved my rear servo trim issues by switching to a Flysky GT5 setup. Others have used adjustable steering links with success.
@@CapeCrawlers thanks for the reply, love watching your videos
One thing I'd love to see included when you do mod's (and maybe you have by now. I'm binging to get caught up!) is a weight comparison between what you take off and what you're replacing it with. Actual scale weights. Hopefully you'll score a good scale (or have gotten one by now.... :D ).
I wonder whats the most capable out of the box this or the trx4M
Out of the box I think the trx4m. Primarily because it’s more planted and it’s bigger size give it an advantage.
Did these mods help align the front and back track?
Front yes, rear no. For the back, you can do adjustable steering links to center the wheels.
Nice and clear video!Are there tuning parts from the ECX24 compatible with the AX24?
Can you swap a scx gladiator or bronco body onto this chassis?
Bronco possibly. The gladiator would be too long I feel.
I have a question .Out of curiosity I have 2 furitek galaxy servos that I was thinking of installing, however stock servo tray is closed off is there an alternative tray that you have found that would work well with this application being they're a tad bit longer than the stock servos
My favorite is the MofoRC best servo mount ever. It's fully adjustable and flat across the back.
@Cape Crawlers thank you for the quick response 🙏 did you have to get different suspension links or anything special to get the stock links mounted as the stock tray has them sandwiched between 4 post
Hey Adam , I’m installing the servos that I purchased off your link and I noticed they say analog is that ok? Or do I need the digital ones?
Analog is fine. Digital is slightly faster and a little more powerful, but it’s not really noticeable in my opinion.
Gotcha thank you
Which scx24 vehicle os the drive shaft size similar to?
C10 I think, but I would have to look more closely.
Just installed both Emax servo's, is there a way to fix the trim of the rear servo? If not that is a pretty big flaw with the stock esc and controller.
I have to think there is, but I haven't figured it out yet. What I ended up doing was plugging the rear servo into CH1, trimming it, plugging it back into CH3. That seemed to help, but it could just be anecdotal.
@@CapeCrawlers Ok Thank you!
I changed out my servos for some EMAXX ones as well, but how did you adjust the trim for the rear steer? Mine sits crooked.
I have not found a way to do that yet and according to the owners manual the trim function is only for the front wheels. I took my servo horn off with the rig turned on and tried my best to get it centered with the horn position. It's still not perfect however.
@@CapeCrawlers I've tried moving my servo horn to different positions with no luck. Maybe an adjustable steering linkage will help.
Great video as always! :) Is there somewhere I can learn more about the four link servo tray conversion? Thank you in advance!
Thank you! I ended up removing the servo trays and going back to stock. But the aluminum four link tray worked well. I was chasing a binding issue which turned out to be the ESC and that's why I swapped the trays. Anyway, you thread a screw through the linkage into the outside of the servo tray, so one link on each outer part of the traditional linkage mount if that makes sense. I don't have a video specifically on it but I can make a short if the above isnt clear.
@@CapeCrawlersthanks for the detailed and prompt response! I totally get what you meant!! Just to clarify, does that mean the stock servo trays can accommodate the emax servos? Thank you again! :)))
Super cool looking with those wheels and Swamp King tires! I love mine so far and was looking for some great upgrades so Thanks for the video.
Would the Injora emax servo mount work for it
Yes it would
Almost all of these parts are on backorder at Amazon.
I noticed that when I went to get some more. Hopefully they restock soon. A lot of the mini parts are out
I have this same build, I went with the servos in your description, the rear wheels won’t turn at all after installation, any help?
I would suggest trying the rear servo in the CH1 position on the esc to verify whether or not the servo is good. Plug a servo, stock one would work, into the CH3 to see if that functions. I'm wondering if you just got a bad servo.
@@CapeCrawlers definitely a bad servo, nothin is working
Brooo that intro!!! Amazing!!
Thank you!
Is there a way to get rid of that annoying eeeeeeee sound?
Yes, but it entails replacing the electronics. It's worth it though. That stock esc and the whine that it makes is terrible!
Sweet edit at the beginning!
Thanks!
Very impressive. HUGE difference. Great content
Big improvements, and thank you!
@@CapeCrawlers I kinda wanna get one.. but I'm more into scale crawling rigs, Not much into comp crawler rigs.
AX24 got the cape crawlers treatment!
I feel like the AX24 was designed with the CC treatment already lol
Why do you avoid rotational mass on a slow speed crawler? I'm curious what your reasoning is. I was taught that it affects performance as weight and speed increase. At low speeds and weight, there is a limited effect. For example, my friend has been running 2 scx10.3 for over 2yrs now, one stock and the other is brassed out with brass rims. Drives the modded one way more, hasn't blown any bearings or anything they have been told would happen..
I think it's that traditional mentality for the exact reasons you mentioned but may not necessarily make a noticeable difference on longevity for these little things. But in general the thought of the additional energy need to begin, maintain, and slow down the rotational weight is a consideration, but again, how much are we really talking here.
Very informative video as always. Thank you. I’ll definitely be picking up these or very similar upgrades.
In this video are you running stock shocks/springs? I couldn’t tell. If so, try the internal spring mod that 2FMRC has done. It pulls the front end down to the chassis.
Also, thoughts on going the route of portals? Let me know. Thanks!
Stock springs. I like the shocks! I do plan on trying that droop setup though.
