Yep nope someday you will learn, just like I did, flex isn't everything. Something just beautiful about how a decently tuned droop setup performs. The floppy flex extension just doesn't do it. Might as well not even have shocks. Pen springs under shock piston, and light spring on the outside. Or skip the pens. You ever just go to a hardware store and look through the drawers of springs? I can find any spring, any size, any compression strength.

Very true. I just did a warthog scx24 build using stock shocks and it's my best performer. Just amazing. I like the articulation for the fun factor, but for my real performance focused rigs I don't go to that extreme.

I guess its ok, im more into the scale aspect of it not belly draggin comp crawlers. I got a trx4m k10 hightrail. Took some stickers off. Threw some injora shafts, crawl gears,hobby park shocks no springs and a couple drops of 20wt to lube the pistons and the injora servo with mount. Looks like a real k10 on a 6 inch lift. Im looking for a decent deckover be it bumper pull or modified 5th wheel for it.

Shock absorbers dampen the rebound from the springs. If you have no springs at all the shocks serve no purpose. Why do you have them on? That link in between the shock and axle is also useless.
@CapeCrawlers
Жыл бұрын
They are still oil filled, which provides some dampening. But they're basically dual limiting straps. The link between the shock and axle gives it more drop but also allows the back end to sit lower because it positions the shock behind the axle.
