Default losi shocks

hey guys im ordering some losi shocks on wednesday, and i see it comes with fuel tubing. Is that to stick in the mounting "eye" of the shock or to limit the travel? Im running a swx, and want sprung droop how much fuel tubing are you guys using if any?

It can be used for whatever you wish. I believe their intention was for it to be used on the upper mount, but I've never had good luck with that setup. The fuel tubing just disintegrates.....

aluminum fuel tube from the hobby store works good. There should be more info on this if you search the forum for limiting shock travel. There's no right amount to use, it just depends on your chassis and setup.

i was using just enough on the ouside of the shaft to get 3" ride height and inside to limit to 3.5" of unloaded droop.
