power stroke slash rears

[evan03]

Okay so my rc4wd shocks leak like crazy. Tired of adding oil before each run.

I grabbed pro lines slash rears. The fixed upper mount just wouldn't work on my rig so I grabbed the calipers found a drill bit that matched the od of a jato ball then used orings to keep the shock cap centerd on the ball.

Harley says there's a insert you can buy to do this. I have no problem hacking on stuff.


Then I had to find a spring to be much lighter. I've found the wraith purple springs work well for me so I swapped out the lower spring cup from the wraith shocks to hold the wraith spring on the pro line body.


What I've found is these prolinesbare easily tunable and I can run axial and traxas springs I have on hand. I'll run the slash pro line springs when I'm swinging paddles.

Not that I've mounted them I think I'll run 60wt oil to start with then maybe give the slightly stiffer red springs a try.

If these runs work well and hold oil I'll do the fronts the same and maybe try the parts recommended by Harley

the proline spring kits have nice soft rate in them. that wayyou can even keep the dual rates.

Spring kit is an awesome way to go. But is unseeded if you have springs laying around. I have tons of springs laying around but am short on money actually short on lunch money now that I bought these shocks



I do like the build quality of these shocks. And to me they look better with the smaller od spring on them
I'll for sure give the dual rates a try. My crawler often time gives some slash and nitro sc rigs a run for the money on the straights. I've got some traxxas springs that fit against the dual rate holder

All buttoned up with 60wt oil feels good. Might be slightly slow to respond and rebound. But may be good Soviet leave it for the rocks to decide

I've got a few runs on these now. With 60 wt oil and wraith springs I'm liking it. Keeps the tires on the rocks and is super stable a very planted feeling almost no wheel hop when spinning on the rocks. And so far no leaks but my rc4wd drive shocks took quite a few runs before the leaked.

Just about can't get over the planted stable feeling

I will be following this...i may need a similar setup on my new build
