Shock cap mod

[Jenkins88]

once I added the revo end and nut I got 4in out of it the revo end mod add approx 1/2in. this was done with the 2660 traxxas shock that is 3.5 in length. Im thinking of trying the 2662 with out doing the mod to keep it at 4in.

I think you'll find that the 2660 with the mod will work better than the 2662 without. The rod ends really free up the suspension to let the shocks do work.

If you guys want the shock end without adding any extra length I do have these for sale. Just an option for those who do not want to mod or add length.

I have never understood the getto shock mod....

is there something wrong with getting the RIGHT lenght shock to begin with?????????????

its really simple to get the shock cap hole to work.........

and if you really need them to be longer, just get a longer rodend...

Dubro makes some longer ends.............

#2661 3.75"
#2662 4"

Are those the true eye-to-eye max lengths of those shocks?
(Edit -- Traxxas told me that those dimensions are in fact center to center, not overall length. I haven't verified that yet.)

Then fitting the flush-grind / locknut / traxxas rod end, how much do you increase those lengths?

i wonder who at traxxas told you this here is what they told me just the other day when i asked the same question
