90T or Long Travel Rockers? - 06.22.2006, 04:47 PM

Are the long travel rockers better for bashing than the 90T that are out of the box? I have mys suspension set up cus I tend to ruin in some rougher areas that I want the extra clearance. Will the LT rockers raise it up from the 90T ride hieght. Or will the ride hieght stay the same and it will just alow the suspension to have a longer travel.

The way I'm set up right now, I reach the end of travel just as the chassis touches the ground when I check it on a flat surface like the workbench. Should I be using the LT to allow it to bottom on the chassis and prevent suspension damge? I have already bent one of the pushrods the last time I ran. Do I need diferent pushrods if I go to the LT rockers? Different springs? I am assuming are the springs that came with the new vehicle.

I could mess with it and figure it all out, but I figured someone here will know and be able to give me a quick answer.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

for bashing use the p1 or p2 ones. the lt are to soft,they do increase ride height but they arent good for big jumps, p2 rockers are better for jumps

I have found that all the 90t rockers have no noticable difference in dampness or stiffness. Either p1 or lt would be fine, but imo the LT's are a must for soft suspension and crazy travel!


The problem with nitro's these days are that they arent brushless... LOL

Sounds like I should just stick to the P2's I have on there now. I am running springs that are a little firmer than stock cuz my truck is a little heavy compared to stock and the setup works pretty well. I was just wondering if there was anything to gain from the LT rocker.

Plenty of articutaltion, great if you are going crawling. It will handle like an old sailing ship at speed though.

Yea! But imo the lt's are way to soft for anything above 2ft for jumping. But are awesome for a spider crawling rocker!

please forgive my noob question here: I was looking at the lunsford titanium push rods for the rockers, and I want to be sure I get the right ones. They list them as p1, p2 and p3. The crazy aluminum rocker arm set on this site says its the 120LT. Does that correspond to P1, 2 or 3?

And it that kit (the TSAIS revo rocker set) worth it? It looks like its crazy, sweet, but its also more than 3x the price of most other rockers/mounts.

The 120LT is for Long Travel. The LT (Long Travel) rockers are 120mm while the P1, P2, and P3's are 90mm.
