XXT CR Landing problems

[R390]

:confused: Whenever I land from a jump my xxt cr bounces off the ground and I dont know what to do. I have 50 weight oil f&r so i was thinking that was the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

50 wt! you should have 30.

Are the shocks leaking? Do u have them completely filled? What color springs are u running?

He's right, basically if the oil weight is too high, the shock can't compress and rebound fast enough so it is left to the spring to do all the work, which gives you basically the same effect as drivin' the ol' Grasshopper off road :) Bounce! My truck experience is pretty slim, but in buggy I've always set my cars up to give a lot and not to tighten up until I'm at near full shock compression. That way when the car hits, it won't bottom out, the tires get good grip and if you are cruisiong over little bumps, the suspension has the freedom to move without adding a "jerk" to the car.

Just one more confirmation... It IS because of the shock oil being too thick like they said. 30 wt IS a great place to start.
