Have a Typhon 6S, turned in to a truggy. What weight springs and shock oil would you guys suggest? Running badlands 2.10x5.02....thanks!

Great looking build! Looks like you swapped to Kraton towers & shocks with the Typhon A arms?

Looks stock Typhon suspension. Towers. Everything.

I wasn't sure. I'm not super familiar to the Typhon. Awesome looking rig!

Took this thing to a large parking lot, ran it with one 4s & 6s. My tires were bald, so widening the stance, making it more for dirt and grass. It's all stock except hubs and the bumper.

Mojave 6S arms, axles and steering assembly. Typhon hubs, towers and shocks with Mojave Springs in the rear (maybe front too? I forget). 40wt (516cst) shock oil (basically stock weight)

Thanks, not looking to spend anymore than I need too.
Thought I might be able to make the stock shocks work. That is with different oil and springs??

I pulled the springs off the typhon shocks and used Mojave 6s springs because they're stronger. Just replaced the shock oil because the car was 2 years on the original fluid. Diff oil was changed as well, 60k - 100k - 30k (F-C-R) I achieved a wider stance with Mojave arms, which then requires the axles, and a bit of a strength increase in the springs as the center body weight is further away from the shock mount location on the arms.

It's actually not that expensive to do this:
$28 Mojave Arms
$41 Mojave Driveshafts
$10 Mojave Steering Assembly
$10 Mojave Rear Springs
$7 Mojave Front Springs
==
$96

I would recommend a stronger servo if you're running bigger tires, motor fans as well.

If you're not gonna jump it high, you probably won't need to do anything to the shocks. I made a heavy Senton 6s out of Typhon parts. Typhon arms towers and shocks, but decided to put on Mojave front springs and Fireteam front springs at the rear shocks with 1000cst (80w) fluid, keeping the stock Typhon shock pistons. Reason being, is that I used aluminum bulkheads, hinge pin holders/suspension blocks, chassis braces and servo mount. Added a lot of weight with two, heavy 6200mah 3s lipos. It was scraping LOW with the stock spring setup. Hubs with wheels/tires are unsprung weight, so it shouldn't be a problem, but your Typhon is at the tipping point with weight. Any more weight added and I'd consider my shock setup for yours.

Using Arrma parts this is what I know is possible for the 6s Typhon shocks:

The Typhon 6s stock:
Front: ARAC8941 - 70mm M (75.5gf/mm)
Rear: ARAC8948 - 84mm M (56.6gf/mm)

What I have installed:
Front: Shock Springs 70mm 1.13N/mm (Mojave) - ARA330637
Rear: Shock spring 84mm 0.94n/mm (Talion) - AR330501

Typhon 6s options:
AR330233 SHOCK SPRINGS: 70mm S (67.9gf/mm)
AR330235 SHOCK SPRINGS: 70mm M (75.5gf/mm)
AR330237 SHOCK SPRINGS: 70mm H (84.9gf/mm)
AR330238 SHOCK SPRINGS: 84mm S (52.3gf/mm)
AR330239 SHOCK SPRINGS: 84mm M (56.6gf/mm)
AR330240 SHOCK SPRINGS: 84mm H (61.7gf/mm)

If you want to go to harder springs consider the Mojave-Talion option or the H shock springs for the Typhon.
I am running 800cst in the front and 600cst in the rear, this is on a Typhon 3S.
