| G-Transition Shock (80mm) situation after adding weight
Last Sunday i was with a friends of mine and a saw a Dingo makes some very impressive steps. the owner said to me that he added around 600g(21 oz) to the front of the truck. Ok let's do it, i thought... Yesterday i buyed some block of lead and i started adding weight to the front. After around 300g(10.5 oz), my Shocks was completly compressed... no more possibility to go down. I use half-drop configuration. Now, let me say that's is not a realistic situation, all reals wagon has a normal space to go down, right? But in this case, what do you think about: do i have to remove weight, leave this situation or change Shocks with, for example, 90mm little more hard spring? Thanks. |

You should put the weight in the wheels. That way it's off the chassis and low as possible. No more spring problem. If the weights are bulky just cut room in the foams for them.

Those shocks don't hold weight well to begin with. Even sprung they will sink with the extra weight. If you want to spread the weight out you can add a little to the axles so as not to over do the wheels. Most aftermarket lockers are solid steel and make for a little center weight. Also Beef Tubes http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axles...e-updated.html in the axles give strength and weight.
