First, use punctuation when you type. It makes it 1000% easier to read and understand what you're saying.

Second, you need to explain what "don't work right" means. Since you mentioned springs a couple of times, I can only assume they are either too stiff or too soft.

Punctuation and capitalization.

Correct Usage: I am helping my Uncle Jack, off a horse.

Incorrect: i am helping my uncle jack off a horse

See what we mean?

I know the stock shocks are way to long for the eclipse chassis, would assume it is the same for the edge.

Priceless!

No-one is trying to be a J/A here, but being clear does help.

I'm betting no matter what the use, the horse was happy...


Back on topic.

Give us a picture or two of what your problem is. It sounds like you having binding issues...

O.K. All kidding and joking aside.

I have actually owned and built this chassis with one of my AX10s.

Using the stock shocks, you will need the TCS internal "droop" setup springs. You must run it in a "droop" configuration because the chassis was designed as a "droop" suspension to begin with. People have used a "droop" setup with the TCS Edge without internal springs, but you must use very heavy shock fluid, over 1000 wt., with the the 3-hole pistons. This presents other problems as well. Best advice, just put internal springs in the shocks.

For a "sprung" setup, you will need to purchase shocks that are at a maximum, 80-90mm measured eye-to-eye. The trouble with this setup is that your C.O.G. is now slightly higher, which is not helped by the heavier, steel chassis.

That is the funniest thing I have ever read in a long time.

Classic!
