Default Shock setup idea

i currently run stock scx10 shocks with a level 3 rc lift kit. I was thinking about flipping the left over so it is a "droop" and running RC4WD 110mm shocks. Would this work and would this be a good idea?

That makes no sense whatsoever. What's your reasoning?

so we're clear you want to have longer shocks but mount them higher up instead of downwards
which would completely negate the benefit of longer shocks would it not?

what you want is basically what a "droop bracket" does. should work but you might not be able to take advantage of all the up-travel depending on whatever other mods you have.

intashu - yes and no to your question. mounting longer shocks higher up will keep the same ride height but will benefit from more travel.
