CEN Racing F450 rear suspension questions

[FULLFLEXRC]

Hello all, this is my first time making a post on any type of forum! I am working on a large trailer from Crawlerncustoms for my F450. I was hoping somebody would be able to suggest rear suspension setup ofr pulling such a large and heavy setup? I ;know the stock stuff won't cut it anymore after adding the trailer. I was not sure if new shocks, or springs, or just new fluid may be enough for such a task. Wat are your thoughts?

I would suggest rubber tubing on the shock shaft cut it to were you want it to ride
It will still have a little give but will support your trailer

Just like 1:1, Slightly stiffer springs and weight distribution on the trailer. The tubing works too but you also try overload pen springs on the shock shaft

One guy on here pulls his kids around on a trailer his solution was a caster wheel under the trailer tonge when the kids were on the trailer.the caster would take the weight off the rc tow rig

This would work good if you don't want to mod the tow rig to much and most trailers have tongue jacks so its still scale lol

I put heavier springs on the back of my trailer hauler TRX4. The stock ones were fine for crawling, but with the weight of the trailer they sagged pretty good. Stronger springs solved it entirely.



Just like with a 1:1, make sure the weight is balanced over the axles as much as possible for the trailer. Too much tongue weight is not good.
