|  Newbie Question About Shocks So, I've been wheeling my 1:1 Jeep for a few years now and I think I've got a pretty good understanding about it. But now that I'm getting into RC Crawling I'm hearing some terms that I'm not familiar with.  My question is; What does it mean to "cycle shocks?" I've seen a few people talking about this and I've never heard it before. Thanks for your help and sorry about my ignorance! |

| So when people talk about having trouble cycling the shocks, are they having this problem because the shock is the wrong size or maybe at the wrong angle? |

| They are probably meaning that the shock is somehow binding. Whether that be because of the mounts, or because of the piston inside the shock. |

| Awesome, thanks so much for the help ya'll. It'll certainly come in handy during my build. Hopefully my newb questions aren't too stupid and some other newbs can benefit from these Q+A's! |
