Just got finished installing some G Made XD Piggybacks on my 2012 Wrangler SCX 10. I went with the 103 mm. I noticed that other than the basic leaking and lacking quality of the stock units, I wasn't utilizing all the up travel they had to offer so why not go longer? I wasn't disappointed! There's no driveline bind and I'm getting way better droop, dampening and a bit of ground clearance. I changed out the springs for something softer as the ones they came with were a bit stiff. Too late to go and test outside.

Do I see scale bump-stops in those piggy-backs? Looks good!

Little Fella · 03-11-2013, 11:33 PM

No. There is an integrated bump stop on the shock shaft. What you're seeing is the FUNCTIONAL reservoir with rebound adjustment. Absolutely awesome shocks so far.

Do you have any non flex shots to show the ride height?

Little Fella · 03-12-2013, 07:34 AM

I'll grab some tonight after work.

cox308 · 03-12-2013, 08:12 AM

I used the oil they came with and opted for a soft front and firm rear set up with the pistons. The springs were swapped out for Losi 2.75" 1.6 Rate units as they were softer.

Nah. Just around the living room cause its pissing out.

I have an intermittent chatter from the drive line now if I turn it upside down and hold the throttle at medium speed. My guess is that this may be the driveshafts binding a little. It doesn't happen when actually driving around any thoughts?

Little Fella · 03-12-2013, 11:56 PM

Ok I just tried the search and found that the DS needs to be lined up. I pulled my shafts apart so I'm sure that's my problem. Fixin it tomorrow.

RMK · 03-13-2013, 10:14 AM

looks good! How were they bleeding with those piggy backs?

Stock scx10 shocks, when built (or rebuilt) right are phenomenal. The gmades sure are cool though!
