Has anybody used these

Has any body used these. Do they hold up well. How do you like them. Are they better than the stock ones. how light are they. Are they strong. Is there a performance difference between the stock ones. Thanks

I have not used them. What are you looking to gain? If it's performance or weight, any difference will be very minimal at best. The rockers' bearings have more to do with any difference in performance. You might reduce flex that you might have with the stockers since they are 7075. I've never had a stock rocker or mount break. However, if you're looking for bling, then yeah, they're nice! :)

bling, not much more weight, performance because they say long travel rockers, i know the stockers are decent but i want a solid suspension for less flex and man they got bling and they look cool. I know a revo is not a bling machine and mine won't Be either it will probably be mostly plastic but these things are sick, and they look good with the GorillaMaxx chassis.

The LT rockers are really only good for crawling or similar IMO. I tried the stock LT rockers once and there is no progressive feel and it doesn't handle well at all for racing.

[GorillaMaxx360]

so are you saying the extended/long travel rockers distributed by traxxas and these tsais ones you said in you opinion do not help at all for racing in-fact they might hurt you truck for racing. Am I interpreting you right here.

[BrianG]

Yup, that's the experience I had. The P1 and P2 rockers are "progressive"; they offer more suspension resistance as they compress. The LT rockers are linear; same resistance over the full travel.

When I tried the LT ones, I had a lot more body roll and handling was just crappy. The LT bottoms out easier on jumps too, even with the stiffest springs.

The Revo comes with the LT rockers as part of the kit. I would see if a friend has them and would let you borrow them to try out before you get the Al ones.

[GorillaMaxx360]

are the alu ones LT. Also if i do not decide to go alu what rockers should i buy from traxxas p1 or p2.

[Mike.L]

theres no point in my opinion to get alu rockers because the plastic ones will just fine.

[Sylvester]

Imo there is hardly any difference between P1 and P2.

[GorillaMaxx360]

what do you guys run p1 or p2, and does the LT come on the erevo kit right.

[Mike.L]

yes it comes with a baggy of springs and extra rockers. and other little goodies.

[Sylvester]

Id just run P1's P2's are pretty much the same, but you have to switch the pushrods (use the red spacer) so it is a little more work.

It says "Long Travel" in the description, so I'd say; yes, they are long travel rockers. ;)

BTW: Long Travel is 120mm, so anywhere you see 120, it is Long Travel.

The 90mm travel rockers can either be Progressive 1 or Progressive 2. Pro2 will require spacers on the pushrods. Pro2 rockers have a firmer progressive rate. Better for racing IMO. Pro1's are more general purpose and are the ones installed on a stock Revo out of the box.

yes i want to use these but you said the erevo comes with LT on it right and mike said it actually comes with other rockers so all have to do is swich the rockers to p1 right.

[BrianG]

I guess you misunderstood. The stock Nitro Revo comes with P1 and LT rockers/springs.

But yes, if it comes with the P1's, you can easily switch them out. Once you know which ones works for your application, you can get the blingy Al rockers. :)
