what shock stand offs

[boostedg60rado]

Well as the title states which shock stand offs for the losi shocks.

What setup are you asking about?

I'm running a custom chassis made by HomerJ, but I suspect many out there are running a pretty narrow chassis as well. As you can tell from the pic, the top of the shocks are mounted up to a long bolt secured to the chassis with two M3 locknuts that also act as spacers. The bottom of the shocks are secured to the axles with just one spacer, not sure about the size but you can get a general idea from the pic.

I am running:

Front Bottom none
Front Top revo swivel and 4mm which i believe would total 10mm

Rear Bottom 6mm
Rear Top Revo swivel and 6mm which should be 12 mm

If you are talking about the upper mount then slide a piece of fuel tubing over an m3 screw and use that for the upper mount. The stock losi ones dont allow much side to side movement.

I would think that this would give you much more axle swing. I would also think that it would hurt you during side hills allowing your shocks to fold under themselves and produce chassis lean. Does it work really well?

Mine runs great with the Losi ones and is capable of some very nice lines, but heck I will try anything if it gives me an advantage.

I like to use tmaxx drive shaft yolks. The work great with the Losi shocks. They really let the shock pivot nice

The shocks dont have any effect on axle walk unless they are bound up and pushing the axle away during articulation. Let me see if i can get a picture tommorow to explain it better.

Your upper and lower links dictate whether or not you have axle swing. Not sure what you mean by folding under themselves though...

Trucknuts, that is pretty cool, looks like it works well too.
