I have a Rustler, and they have adjustable shocks.There are like 4 holes in the back to set the shocks so they are almost strait up and down, and they can also be slanted at probly a 60 degree angle.If im am doing a lot of bashing, and jumping how should i have my shocks set?The front has 3 holes to change position of the shocks too.So how should i set the front?

For jumping, it is not so much the angle of the shock that affects how it does, it is the length of the travel of the shock, remember, when doing big jumping, try to get as much travel as you can, but have the chassis bottom out before the shocks do, if not, think of the extreme pressure(relatively speaking in terms of plastic) that is created on the shock towers, you will rip the shock tower screws right out of the chassis and tranny halves, i know, it happened to me. For big time jumping, get some stiff springs, and thick oil. My guess is that you are using the stock molded shock bodies, correct? I am almost positive you will have one shock b low out, because, again, it has happened to me. It is very messy, and nasty to clean up. Just use somewhat a type of discretion when doing "insane" jumps.
