Lookin good Mike These MOA things are kind of dated now, you should have gotten the LCC. Check out my Skeeter thread for my current cost effective wheel solution. |

i run my truck 100 times more than anybody i know and didnt think the LCC would hold up to 3-4 hours, 3-4 days a week of non-stop crawlin. . Last edited by roksloski; 07-14-2009 at 12:47 PM. | |

Well today i decided that my chassis was a little wide (2 7/8 outside to outside) so i took 3/8 off the skid plate, now is 2 1/2 wide... not sure that will matter any... had a set of wheels that i got with my axles that are burg offset but didnt have any lok rings,, so i took them off my Mayhem axial wheels and mounted up a set of tires, now its at about 10 1/8 wide instead of 11 1/8 wide... looks ok now Tires seem to rub the shock spring at full turn and pull the spring off the cup.. does anyelse have this problem?????? more pic's to follow later Last edited by roksloski; 07-15-2009 at 10:26 PM. |

Can you get your shocks upside down? Easier to refill also. |

| Probably true on race cars/trucks but I honestly don't think it matters on crawlers. I care more about the rebound performance than the compression.

Air bubbles are always at the top, that's just physics, no matter which way you run the shocks. With the cap up at the top is really easy to refill when it's necessary. I've been told the green slime really helps the cartridges but no first hand myself. |
