The Supershocks are easy to mount, spare parts are included to mount another shock, that's cool !

Before :


After :


vs. Big Bore :


I used 2 caster spacers between the tower and the standoffs, and some spacers included with the Supershocks at the bottom of the shocks to have them vertical :



And good news, the shocks don't rub against the stock driveshafts !


I wanted to test the ejector pins used by george16 because I'm fed up bending Lunsford hinge pins (lower ones). I needed a good bolt cutter to cut these pins ! Here is the result :









Given that my tools are really basic I can't do what george16 did so I wedged the pins thanks to their head and the bumper mounts. I can't do that with the front lower pins so I kept the Lunsford ones.


I bought the Lunsford 4x115mm titanium turnbuckles to replace the Traxxas optional 5141A toe links, I didn't like the space between the rod end and the bottom of the threaded portion of the latter (aesthetic concern yes). So don't worry the Traxxas ones are great !
