These ones: http://m.banggood.com/4X-JX-PDI-6221...p-1031156.html

I can't say how they'll hold up to something with some speed that can snap housings or gears, but for a slow crawler they may/should do well.

Just a suggestion, You might want to try internal droop springs, or limiters and stiffer springs. IMO that's really too much flex and the shocks may allow you to bind up/get stuck in cracks compared to a stiffer suspension. I've been in situations with large rocks like in your pics and I've personally found it better to focus on keeping it stable and predictable on 3 wheels and being able to "float" a tire across the gaps.

I was thinking about trying some heavier oil out. These shocks are the short 90mm Honcho ones. I have a longer set but I'll need to mount them higher up. I'll likely do a tear down and rebuild soon with a larger spur gear to slow it down some, too.

I want to make a wider skid to be able to bring the outboard links inboard because they tend to hang up. Any good source for black delrin or teflon?

Trying to keep that R1 forum breathing too... Good work!

Yup - 4WS on the R1 is a blast.

I took it out today for about 15 minutes worth of crawling this pile. I ordered a set of shocks for it this morning, too. They should be long enough to reach the original mounting point.

I mounted the cheap longer shocks and took it out yesterday. It's crawls better, placebo possibly, without carrying a wheel like before. These springs are a little stiffer and I'll change the fluid out when I get a chance. These are, IIRC, GPM rear shocks for a k949.

I liked the look of the inboard top mount better. But these clear without touching.



It still has crazy flex, bro. Which is a reason for the thicker shock oil.
