Boom Racing Boomerang Type G Shocks: First look feedback?
 
1 Attachment(s)
So Boom Racing's Boomerang Type G's are finally ready and we think they look awesome. They perform well with the fully functional reservoirs and the looks are amazing.

So with that being said, I wanna see what you guys think so far. We're constantly talking to Boom Racing, and we'd love to provide them feedback to change future variations if needed.

It'd also be awesome to start a discussion on these if htere's any way you'd like to personally modify it as well. :)

Can you provide the specs so we can better understand were they might be used?

Can be disassembled to place the oil reservoir in different locations on your truck. Comes with three rates of springs and extra oil tubes.

Eye to eye length: 110mm
Eye to eye length after total extract (hardest spring-gold): 81mm (shaft travel: 29mm)
Eye to eye length after total extract (medium spring-silver): 79mm (shaft travel: 31mm)
Eye to eye length after total extract (softest spring-black): 75.7mm (shaft travel: 34.3mm)

$29.90 USD (there's a 10% site-wide discount coming up though so....just saying.)

It's fully assembled, and it comes with internal springs. Three rates (soft medium hard), we suggest using 35 wt oil at the moment. There's also a mini spring in the reservoir, which holds a plate so that it actually pushes the oil from the reservoir back to the main shaft unit.

It's a pretty sick design from Boom Racing. We're really enjoying it. The reservoir can be placed elsewhere by removing the brackets, or you can even take off that whole reservoir if you prefer it a sleeker look without the extra portion.

Can we get a closer picture of one unit? Also is there a way to replace those shock ends? The ones pictured look like the same ones hot racing uses and are anything but desired. Shouldn't be too bad on shocks but totally suck on link ends

Thinking about how to say thiws i notice that my English sucks, because i do not know the name for it. But i definitely would like to see a "rotating, move up and down and around ball" thing like at the install spot.

Oh wait, just checked the Boomracing site for pics and i see they have it already.
That makes this a useless post.

However, i do like that they come in different colors. Styling is a hot issue for some (at least to me it is).
Also like the idea that it comes with different springs.

It would be nice if they came in a shorter length. 110mm is not a length many use. 100mm would have the interest of a bigger group i guess.

Maybe try giving away a set or two if you'd like a review, I know I don't like to spend money just to see how something works when I already know how other options work

Agreed. 110mm is for stock rigs but who has that. 90-100mm would be more interesting.

Agreed. Couldn't say it any better. A Boom Racing Boomerang Type G Shock tester would be the best route.

Will be releasing video footage very soon. Dont know about the Hot Racing ones, as Boom Racing went through a pretty long process designing it to be as unique and functional as possible. We have testers putting them through their paces right now though!

Boom Racing will be working on different lengths very soon! :)

We have a batch of them already circulating around our first round of testers. RC_Athletes, RC CWR, ESP RC, RC Trailblazr, Killshot_RC, Ferndogg, and a few others are all on the list of testers. (Most can be found on Instagram/YouTube/FB) if you want to see them in action. We will also be releasing a video on behalf of Boom Racing very soon! :)

The varying lengths will be coming out very soon guys! Boom Racing has assured us they are working on it once we told them the feedback received here :)

I am a patient man. So i will wait till they are available and see how they would do on the Nightcrawler. In terms of size a 110 will fit nicely there.
