CRT .5 shock option?
 

I was wondering if there are any shock upgrades for the crt .5? I keep having problems with the front ones leaking oil. Thanks for the help on the matter.

I know people are using the ofna DM-1 shocks for the front, and I *think* front buggy shocks for the rear

Read around in this thread, and you will find it....

Go from the end to the start, its only a few pages back if I remember right

I thought my CRT.5 shocks were leaking because of excess oil on the shaft, but when I removed the top cap and looked through the bladder, there was no air in the system. I believe that the shocks were just a bit over filled and the excess oil was purged until there was no more excess pressure.

I found it!

Post 1121, there CRT shocks for the rear, and DM-1 for the front.... And I also saw that jato springs work on the DM-1 shocks.....

GO: i thought that too, but when i pull open the top, the bladder has fallen into the shock, and half of the oil has come out.

Blacked: yeah i was looking at that too, but i cannot seem to find the parts for the DM-1 shocks anywhere now, and also, i found the crt shocks on ebay for a nice price but we shall see if i win them. didnt know they were that pricey :(

It's the CRT 1/8 FRONT shocks that fit on the rear of the CRT.5, right?

Yes


Dark,

Do you know the part numbers to build the shocks?

Here's the part list to build the DM1 shocks. They were listed on another site and the poster said if you call Nitrohouse they will know what you need.

40630 - Plastic parts needed for the front shocks
40090 - O'rings
40736 - DM-1 Bodies w/ Caps
40737 - Shock Shafts w/ Pistons
40634 - Shock Spring Adj. Collar
40636 - O'ring for Spring Collar
40640 - Shock Bladders
MUGE0505 Springs
MUGC0594 Springs

Mugen springs? Huh......

I will have to think about all this =)

thanks man

Here was another guys take on springs:
"Everyone I see has a different spring set-up. I'm running cut
jammin yellow rears(0.58) on the front and short Mugen blues
(0.77)-#E0505 on the rear. I also run the cut Mugen white(0.74)
#C0594 on the front and the front jammin yellow(0.71) on the rear."

I think id use the jato spring option personally

But theres some options when you look

Thanks

For a REALLY stiff suspension, use a set of Revo springs. :smile:

That would be the fronts though, which would be weird to have stiff..... IMO

GO: yeah i looked on nitro house to try to build it the way that site talked bout...but couldn't find the actual shock cylinder, part number 40737. :( and just had to once again rebuild the front shocks...though on nitrohouse the part 40736 is the shock shaft, and 40737 i'm guessing is the shock body. NM i found it, but now i'm try`n to get all the parts that they ahve listed to order, and cant figure out if i need more than one on some of these or not.

I may try and mount my revo shocks to my CRT.5...
