| LCOG---------Setups
been searching and looking for good references towards LCOG setups...anyone care to share pics and specs of their setups to help inspire others like me I bought a Wraith and it came with a couple other shock setups, can you help identify what these shocks are??? I know the center ones are the stockers, what are the ones on the right with no springs (red)? Never seen them before anywhere and the super long black ones?? ...Plus I noticed the rear shocks go all the way up and mount to the roll cage......any thoughts on this setup? I want to lower it and turn it into something like this setup...... Last edited by little squirt; 07-19-2013 at 07:54 PM. |

Those red ones are air shocks with internal springs. I bet they could be tuned for a low ride height. That white rig looks pretty good love the ride height ;) Flipping the shock mount over lower it a noticeable amount The white wraith got boarding so this is the current setup. Wheeled it like this and it go vertical like crazy and is hard to tip over. Last edited by evan03; 07-19-2013 at 09:50 PM. |

You can always get a droop kit which offer higher mounting positions then swap to some 90mm shocks like PowerStrokes...and flip the lower mounts on the axles if you haven't already. Or if you are on the cheap side buy nitro fuel tubing and limit them internally.

Oh and those red shocks are 90mm Tamiya Highlift Shocks that are just terrible. I rather use stock plastic scx10 oil shocks over those junker grease and spring shocks any day. I have them on one of my rigs but I hardly ever drive it anyway.

thanks for input, I'm new to crawling rc and this is my first used setup I purchased. Any ideas on the long black shocks and how they are mounted up on the top rear roll cage? Haven't seen any setups like that on here yet even going through the whole picture thread sticky.....we shall see when it shows up I was going to start with the mount flip, maybe get the droop kit for $15 and play with the setup anyway, can't hurt to try different things...I'm going to be a slow crawler here, got plenty of lava rock around......this should be a fun new hobby. |

One other thing to consider for COG is battery positioning. The stock battery mount is way too high up and way too far back. Most people move it forward of the trans under the hood. I however elected to run dual batteries and have them mounted just above the rock sliders. Sorry for the jumbled mess of wiring but it gives you a little bit of an idea for battery mounting alternatives. I made these trays from .080" styrene sheet and used the factory interior mounting holes for them since I have way too much crap to even think about the interior. | |
