Rc4wd hilux body relocation shock length

[Vwsb74]

Hi, I have a scx10 with hilux body and I just installed a rear relocation shock kit and now the rear sits to high. I want to upgrade my shocks so what shock length should I buy for the front and rear set up? Should I buy 80mm rears and 90mm fronts? Thanks.

My son utilizes 100mm CO's front and rear.
his are Traxxas ultimate BB plastic bodied CO's.
Cheap to purchase... work great for the low buck investment.

These came off a 1st gen Traxxas T-Maxx.

But the rears had to have custom mounts made
and were canted forward progressively.

So spring rate(s) and oil viscosity needed to be stiffer/thicker
then the front CO's in order to compensate some.

My son made his own gearhead / \ mount originally...
but the articulation was unrealistic/excessive in our opinion.

The other option is using a cantilever system out back...
like what's on the mini Revo or utilizing the Dinky RC cantilever kit.

I purchased a Dinky cantilever kit for my son to try...
but instead he likes his current set up and refuses to test the cantilever system.

Mojave body on a SCX-10 chassis...
purdy much the same deal as a HiLux body...
'cept the Mojave bed is recessed deeper then the HiLux's bed.



If I remember correctly...
the front spring rate(s) are 1.8 (white Losi 4")
and the rears are 2.4 (red Traxxas 100mm)

There is no exact science to this...
as chassis weight will determine rate/viscosity selection
but this set up seems to be working well for his 7 - 8lb chassis.

Hey Taco how the hell are you I got 100 mm shocks on my Mojave Truggy on a SCX10 chassis, I took Wraith stock shocks and changed out the rod ends until they were a 100 mm stock, Wraith shocks are 103 mm or is it 105 mm, stock
