i dont know if this is good or just to much so... ya... let me see a picture of what your getting please
Thanks.:mrgreen:

IMHO thats to much.

From what I've seen, it should only be about the height of a tire, 3.75" ish.

I have about 3" or 3.5".

A full 90 degrees of articulation, it sucks. I need to limit my shocks because it's way too much.

depending on setup... between 3 to 3.75 is all you will ever need...

How do you adjust how much you have? I'm thinking I have to much, so what do I do to take some away?

Internally limit your shocks. Take them apart and put 1/4" of fuel tubing on the shaft, then reassemble.

Interesting!!! I did limit my shocks and not seeing how that changed it.. Maybe I did it wrong.. Anyone have a link to a how to write up or something to give me more info on it? I installed the fuel line on the inside of the shaft in the shock body. Is this right?

shock limiting
 

i put 3/4" limit on all for, drop that sucker low and i get about 3" of articulation, works amazing on sidehilling, vertical climb and off camber and yeah my mrc is a scaler"thumbsup"

or just go with a droop set-up this also works great for me before"thumbsup"

Like Ped said, try 3/4". It's not set in stone, too many variables between chassis', links, etc. Keep playin' with the length of the fuel line until you like it. Wish I had also said not to refill your shocks 'til you get it where you want it, sry.

Hey part of the fun is playing with set up till you get it right.."thumbsup"

I ran it a few time as is at 1/4 and I still have to much. Also think I need to put heavier weight in but wil go with what I have and see if by adding more limit will help. I think I will try 1/2 inch and go from there.

When i had the stock shocks i ran 1/4 inside and a 1/4 on the outside. Now with the mixer chassis and RCBros shocks i have about 3/8 on the outside only. Seems to work really good.

YOU CAN DO THAT!!!! ON THE OUTSIDE...:)
Why don't I think about things like that. I'm going to try that since that makes it clear. Also on the outside, wouldn't that keep your hieght?

if you cant find any fuel hose, you can pull the metal part out of a small wire connector and use the plastic insulator part (the 20g size.) its cheap because everybody has wire connectors lying around And from the jump its about 1/4 inch or so and you wont slice your finger (yes I did and I'm a D.A.)!!!

just my $.02

I used fuel tubing and pieces of antennae tube on mine I run a droop setup with some pen springs in the shock bodies and 1/4in of fuel tubing outside on the shaft. With this setup I can almost get the rear tires against a vertical surface climbing it before flipping over backwards.

Here is some pics I snapped with my phone to show better what I'm talking about.

I'm currently running the stock limiters inside the shocks. The key for me in making my MRC a winning truck was to limit the left rear with a piece of fuel tubing. I was always experiencing torque twist when going up a steep climb. I all but stopped the travel of the left rear with a piece of fuel tubing. Now my right front stays planted on climbs and rollovers are reduced as well. I'ts simple and it works. Give it a try.
