|   I might have to got to full droop, ride height is a little high with big bores...Ideally I'd like to find some springs that allow 1/2 uptravel &1/2 downtravel... Last edited by diesel72; 03-05-2008 at 08:55 PM. |

im currently running the 1/2 and half suspension, a good cheap way to buy the springs is to buy team losi mini-t front springs. they fit perfectly. just buy 2 sets. i got each set at my LHS for $5 a piece

Very nice looking rigs that both of you have. I was looking at that chassis from RC4WD but then I seen the Copperhead and I think that is the on that I will get. Also on the droop setup I read in another post that somebody used the springs out of a BIC pen. the just put the spring over the shaft on the inside and said that it works perfect.

rcp makes internal springs for full droop i have them in the front shocks and 1/2 droop in rear with losi yellow springs the shock mounts are really weak and thin on this chassis i have about 2 1/4 of belly clearence diesel72 looks great but you need to get it closer to the ground my first picture it has about 2 5/8 belly clearence i have since lowered it a little more and a lot of lead weight keep the pictures comming and i will do the same thanx |

a few new pic  you will notice the brass front shock mountthat is a quick fix for the poor very thin shock mount i pinched the the stock metal mount between 2 pieces of thick brass because the stock mounts keept bending and one of the small tack welds broke  |

finally got to work on my axial based rock rider chassis. i just built an ax10 sw2 so my motivation hasn't been there for the rock rider. i got the axial tranny mounted up and everything else is ready to go. the only thing i have to do now is is get my upper link measurements once the axles are bolted up. i'll be posting pics once it's complete.
