Yup every one is right, there just revo springs with the retainer slid over the body of ofna shock. works better then I expected :)

It looks like he just put an adjustment nut as a seperator; you notice there are no threads there? I did the same thing on my MBX5/Corr truck and Slash to reduce bottoming without making normal suspension travel too stiff.

Ooooh, dime-bar moment.

Home made dual-rate shocks, very cool.

The red springs are from a Revo

I´m tinkering with that idea my self

I love the use of the extension plates for the longer shocks, real slick man. I wanted to try something like that to run OFNA rear shocks with my Pro-line arms.

Nice truck dude, I can see a lot of thought went into it.

I recently bought a Monoblock extention ( tired to break Trx weelybar).
And now I can use the stock LST2 CVD that come with the diff. ( right lengh)
I have a spare 8mm cup and 1 dogbone now.

Anybody using this mod have any issues with bustin the collar brace? Ive busted 2 on 6S... Im trying to trim down an aluminum one right to strengthen this up... Just wondering if anyone else has issues/ideas... Thanks!

[Emaxx_Quebec]

Yes, I bust 2 too.
I'll try take a pic of what I've done to correct that

Sorry havent been on in a long time, I did have the same issue but I also did a very cheap and easy fix I learned from AIR plane guys.. All I did was twine epoxy soaked string over the plastic color, kind of like a cast.. Worked like a charm and was a super easy fix.

This is the t-maxx I am in the middle of building, I have fitted up a pair of LST2 diffs, I machined the side spacers and diff collars myself, the front one has the extra clearance under it to clear the proline steering links. I decided to spend a little time on the lathe at work as it seems collars are the weak spot when opened out for the lst2 diff (hopefully these will hold up ok)\

Hey... what tyres are you using there? The truck looks awesome!

the problem with dremmeling standard collars is very little material left behind so they are weak and break if you push the horse power, at this stage I wont making any more but who knows ( its not a quick job on a 40 year old lathe ).
The tires are team orion street sweepers, they came on 1/2 inch offset rims via Ebay.

Nice and simple... I got the aluminum collar to fit and went for a test drive and twisted the end of an axle off... GRRRR!!! I think I tweaked it in a pothole I ran into and then a few seconds later with a wide open 6S pass I had a wheel bouncin one way and an E-Maxx cartwheelin towards me and the truck... Darn I need to get someone to film this stuff!
