super noob question about internal shock springs

[NeXt559]

so im placing in order for some parts and im think ing about getting internal shock springs.

at the monment im using the axial aluminum body shocks. inorder to use the internal shock springs do i need to replace my shocks or do i just take the original springs out and put the new internal springs in?

please dont flame like it says in the title i know this is a super noob question. ive only been into r/c in general for about a month and a half and about 3 weeks into rc crawling so please bear w/ me:-P

Your internal springs can be run either on top of the piston for a conventional style (compression ) shock or under the piston for a droop style shock. Generally you want to remove the outer spring.

thanks jwcustomwurks
do i still use damper oil? even w/ the spring inside the shock body?

*again, i know its a super newb question

[rocresq]

yes oil goes in just like normal, by the way duratrax mini quake springs fit in the shocks great come in serveral strengths

looking through the forums ive noticed alot of people w/ internal springs mount their shocks upside down

what exactly is the point of mounting shocks upside down?

[jwcustomwurks]

The majority of the weight of the shock is lower. thus lowering your Center of Gravity

I thought that if you turn them upside down that was to help prevent leakage.
