Axial Suspension Question..

[willyhoff]

The stock suspension im assuming is 90mm correct? If i want to lift the truck with 120mm suspension how could i do that?
Thanks

Keep in mind you may need to adjust your pinion angles after that much lift.

Curious if you are crawling/trailing/scaling? I have been getting the CoG lower on my recent build to make it more stable, so I was surprised at your 33% increase in ride height. In addition to the L3 product which looks nice you can fab one from thicker sheet if you have access to the equipment and peg the exact height you are looking to hit. You are probably going to run into some serious binding issues with the shafts that will need some work.

Tho' the stock CO's are 90 mm...
Axial recommends installing CO limit spacer(s)
to limit compression.

Reason being...
the stock steering linkage (centered) bolt may hit the frame
during compression and steering.

I use 100 mm Traxxas T/E Maxx plastic BB CO's
Losi soft springs on those.
and without compression limiters.
They fit and work well.

I had to scrap the original steering linkage...
in favor of the alloy link rod steering kit/assembly.
The original steering linkage will cause interference...
when adding longer CO's.

I personally think 120 mm is too long...
and a taller COG won't make crawling better.

If running those... I'd probably look at relocating the upper mounts...
probably a riser style mount.

If you haven't purchased already...
I'd recommend purchasing some 100 mm CO's.

I wouldnt go higher 103mm

I'm running 103 gmade piggy backs and having binding issues. Considering running them at droop to decrease the angles.

you shouldnt have a problem wit the 103's everyone i know runs them and i will be running them too ... you can always buy a lift kit and flip it to make it a lowing kit to create a droop set up

Not trying to bust you out bro, bit going to anyways just for sake of not confusing anyone. Using a lift/lowering kit is a lift or lowering kit. A droop set up acually refers too shock compression at rest. A sprung set up will put the shocks at rest at max stroke. A full droop set up will have the shocks at fully compressed at rest. The there are partial set ups in between

I just put a set of losi comp crawler shocks on my dingo and it raised it decently, and got it a lot more articulation in the process..

think i was a little over zealous with 120 haha after looking im just going to get 100 probably and work from there. Thanks!
