I like the looks of it. I like how you can stand the shocks up more vertical. What weight oil and what internal springs are you using on the Revo shocks? |

I tried a bunch of different shock locations on prior setups and I found that when the shocks are really laid out (more flat than upright) my suspension is less sensitive and almost require more weight in the wheels to hold the rig down for the suspension to work. (I think thats the reason... works for me  )Springs... I took my shock (body/damper & shaft) to the hardware store and tried a different springs for size and tension etc. just working the shock with my fingers untill I found a few that felt ok; then I tried them on the rig till I found a set that felt good to me. apprx. $0.75 cents each. Oil Weight... I tried 30wt but it was still tooo slow so I drilled the holes out in the shock damper one at a time untill I got the kinds of movement (rebound speed) I liked. Maybe lighter weight oil would do the same thing but I had 30 wt on hand. works good. 3" ground clearance and 4 7/8" max frame height = ok balance / sidehilling i think  | |
