Jammin SCRT10

[Shark413]

I went with the Slash sized wheels on my Jammin so I would have a better selection of tires to choose from. When you convert to the larger wheels it raises the ride height. So you need to adjust the shock position and droop to compensate. One of the issues with this is it reduces the up travel in front because the shocks are so short. One fix is to go with longer shocks and use a shock tower that is taller so the shocks can be mounted higher (upper). Many are using the rear shock tower and shocks in front, but the problem with that is the rear tower uses tierods for the upper suspension and the front uses an a-arm. The a-arm is stiffer so I wanted to keep this feature. So rather than use the rear tower I made an extention for the stock front tower that raised the upper mount and allowed me to use the longer rear shocks and retain the upper a-arms. Now I have plenty of up travel.

The stock bumpers are very fragile, I broke mine the first day. I had success in the past using a Slash bumper on my 1/8 buggy SC conversions so I decided to see if I could get one to fit on my Jammin. I made up two brackets out of aluminum and the Slash bumper bolted right on. I has been very durable.
