No pre load shock cups. Big bore and others

[Erik D_lux]

These shock cups are about to change the shock game!

The shock cups allow the Big bore shocks (and others) to have less pre load than any other shock cup. This has always been a huge problem with the Big bore shocks and it is now solved!

There are 2 versions, Delrin and aluminum.

Delrin weigh 1g each
Aluminum weigh 1.5g each

The cups come with shims to get your perfect amount of pre load!

Ironically these are not made to fit a stock big bore rod end. They will work just fine but they are made to fit many other rod ends that I tried. The stock rod end was smaller than most any other. A TRA1942 end fits perfect along with many others.

$6 per pair found on my website. dluxfab.com/products

Here are some pictures of how the Big bore works with the Mini T springs.

All shocks are shown unlimited and in stock form. Keep in mind that you will most likely be limiting the longer shocks. Shocks also have the rod end on the shaft twisted on right until the threads are gone. You can manipulate the amount of preload (and length) by turning the rod on more or less.

4" shock with stock spring cup = no preload



4" shock with Dlux spring cup = - .310" preload



3.75 shock with stock spring cup = .060 pre load



3.75 shock with Dlux spring cup = - .220 pre load


3.5 shock with stock spring cup = .210 pre load



3.5 shock with Dlux spring cup = - .075 pre load



Here is a picture that will have the added shims so you can dial in exactly how much pre load you like.

Right now I have a handful of each type so I may run out. I expect to have quite a few more by the end of next week.

Shipping starts tomorrow!

Yep, lots of options just opened up!

All orders shipped and still have a few left. I should be able to stay ahead of the orders.

Could probably use these on SCX10 shocks with the mini-t springs right?

[Erik D_lux]

I am guessing you could use any shock that uses a 3mm rod end and Mini-T springs

Out of Delrin cups for just another day or two. Aluminum still in stock.

Just got our order today

Nice machining on the pieces and ultimate shock tunability
