Great choice on the chassis.. I love mine.. Been playin with different length shocks and was wondering what length your Junfac's are going to be.. I got either the 90 or 95mm (can't remember) and they were too short.. I had to put both springs on top of the pistons. They seemed to work okay but I really wanted to run them in their droop setup.. Currently (with both springs on top of the piston) I have about 2.5" of clearance at the skid..

So now I'm looking to grab another set of shocks and just wanted to see what the consensus was on shock length for this chassis...

not that they didn't work, I just felt they were a little short to go droop. But, I'm still learning on how to setup the rig.. I think that Juan said that he runs 4" shocks and that was what he designed the chassis to work with. To me, that was just way to long...

Took a look at my Junfac's last night and they are the 90mm.. They are sweet shocks and I love the options for tuning..

Maybe I'll give them another shot setup for droop after this weeks comp... Keep us posted on how it works out for you...

Looking good! I dig the way it sits at rest. Nice and low
I'd stick a plate on the rear axle to mount links to. Those rear uppers won't last very long on those axle posts.
First nasty bind and when theaxle wraps they'll snap. Even some delrin or lexan plate to tie all 3 stock holes together. You can mount them there on a scaler and get away with it but not a comper. Just too much torque for plastic posts to handle.
