|  Shock mounting?
I picked up some of the Losi crawler shock sets (they're really sweet!) and am struggling to figure out how to mount the upper end, as it doesn't have a captured ball. The kit comes with a little plastic thing, but I'd have to make a spacer or narrow the chassis to use it, and that sounds like a pain in the butt. I've heard of people using fuel tubing, but I'm having a hard time visualizing how that would work while being able to crank down the chassis braces. Any thoughts? Thanks! |

Uses the fuel tube in small pieces where the capture ball should be and a 3mm washer to hold the nut or bolt in place

I did mine something like that. This is temporary until my mini lst shocks get here but it shows you what he was talking about.  | |

I have a set of CKRC shocks with the same non pivot end. I sanded the end off so its just a cap, drilled the center for a 3mm screw and installed a rod end left over from my axial kit for the links. I used red locktite to seal and hold. There mounted with body down and 40 wt fluid with no leaks for 6 weeks now. Simple mod. Nathan |
