Default shock help

i have a crawler king and i was wondering if there wsa any way i could limit how much flex it has. Right now i will get it to get the wheels stuck in the fender flares but i dont want to cut them off so is there any thing i could do to make it stop before it gets that high?

You could put a short piece of fuel tubing on the shock shaft to limit up-travel.

You can put some fuel tubing over the shock shaft. See the orange stuff on these shafts. That will help limit your flex. Just make it however long you want to limit it.

You could get some two spring shocks like what comes on Axail SCX10

All you have to do is take the ball end off...and slip the fuel tubing on, then put the end back on, no oil leakage required.

Yea that's what I do but be careful not to score the shaft. I put a t-shirt strip between the rod and the pliers then grip and twist the end off.
