CRT.5 Big Bore Shocks done easy & cheap

[MetalMan]

Just got done setting up my shocks for how I like them - although I have yet to run the truck with this setup. The front Jato shocks have 1.4mm pistons, 40wt. Losi oil, and the Traxxas 1.4 rate pink springs. In the rear are Jammin X1CR front buggy shocks with 35-40wt. oil (I forget which) and XTM blue (soft) front buggy springs. Pics of the whole setup:






The way it sits is just slightly above level, but it should work fine, I think. The rear shocks bottom out just as the back end of the chassis touches the ground, and the front shocks still have about 2mm of travel left when the front end bottoms out.

Looks great. I should have my ofna big bore shocks for the rear this week. They are coming with ofna soft (yellow) buggy springs. I'll let you know if I can get the rear bones level with these springs.
