|  Simple Shock Mount
I thought I would post up a simple but (so far) effective way I found to mount shocks that don't come with an upper ball (Duratrax, Losi, Taxxas, etc.). I might not be the first to come up with this but I haven't seen any posts so I thought I would share. Hopefully some will find this helpful. It's very simple. Take a ball end from a Traxxas rod end and remove one side with a dremel cut-off wheel:  Mount up with an appropriate sized spacer on the body side and a small washer on the cut-off side. On my fronts I have found it works better with a spacer on each side.   And there you go:  I have been running this for a couple of months and it is working well. I did have to play with the washers a bit depending on the angle of the shock. Overall, it is a lot smoother than fuel tubing.  EXW |

I like that; won't squish up and bind like fuel tubing. |
