put losi 8ight front shocks on it, they will handle any junp you can throw at a pede

that'll gimme more flex and the stance of a rustler?

by flex do you mean suspension travel?

the pede is a pretty unstable truck as trucks go, but it is fun to play with.
like semi said.
get some losi 8 shocks on it. they are loads better!!

or you could get the traxxas big bore shocks and get some hot racing multi-rate springs, heavy for rear and medium for front, makes a huge difference!

I use Ofna 1/8 buggy front shocks on the front and rear on my FLM Stampy, got the set of 4 for under $30.00 via Fleabay.

If you want the stance of a Rustler, you'll need shorter shocks than the stockers. Try Jato shocks ???

I think he would need to just lower the body, by using Rustler body mounts, to get a Rustler look. If you use Jato shocks all it will do is make the truck itself lower, and it will kill its ability to jump.

pedebasher did u ever send those screws? curious... i dont want to kill my jumping abilities

PedeBasher · 11.29.2009, 01:49 AM

Sh!t! I totally forgot dude. Sorry. Hope I didnt keep you at a halt in terms of running.

Just do what I said, and get some Losi shocks. The Rustler body mounts will really give it a sick stance.

Bondonutz · 11.29.2009, 09:22 AM

Losi shocks with the bottom plastic cartridge style will not handle the bigger jumps as well as Associated T4 shocks !? Ben there, done that.

Bondonutz · 11.29.2009, 08:43 PM

t4 shocks are not going to handle jumping duty better than losi 8ight shocks. You are comparing a 1/8 scale shock to a 1/10 scale t4 shock. There is no comparison.

Though i used to love my t4 factory team shocks they are not better than losi 8ight shocks.

Bondonutz · 11.30.2009, 09:07 AM

Dude, I know. I'm not a F-in idiot ?
But if the guy is one a budget, and wants scale appearance they would be the ticket.
It's only a suggestion.

Thanks Bondo! lol

you cant put rustler body mounts on the front of the pede because the servo is in the way

someone correct me if im wrong but i have the rusty body mount and just couldnt get it to fit without some wack modifications.

the rear body mount isnt a problem because you just neeed to take off that extender peice.
