Default Removing Bump Stops for a Bit More Articulation??

Hi everyone.

I was just wondering what the advantage of the bump stops in the stock SCX-10 shocks are??

I've searched for threads about removing them, and they all linked me to a blog post on Axial's site, but when I clicked on the link it says that the post no longer exists.

I was wondering if there would be any drawback to removing those bump stops??

Thanks.
Jeff

The only draw back would be more flex/travel = better crawling.
Unless it makes the tires rub too bad on the body. Most people just cut them out but i would remove them because you may need them again ( with that D90 body your looking at)
Best way to remove them is screw off the lower rod end.

Okay thanks.

When I build the D90, it will be off of a fresh chassis. My wife has pretty much taken ownership of this Honcho...so I need my own SCX-10!!

That's a pretty nice problem to have!
In that case...she'll love the increase in articulation.

Alright, I took the bump stops off tonight and got myself a bit more articulation. Not a ton, but it's noticeable. I like the flex now...it still seems pretty realistic, but gives it a bit more room for getting over and up on things.

I think the stock honcho flex is perfect and would never remove the bump stops. I think im in the minority though. I have a lot of miles on my honcho and have never wanted more articulation. More usually causes more trouble than it's worth.
