Default Wheel and Shock Idea?
I'm not sure what everyone else thinks, but I know I would love to see these two items made. The first is a beadlock which many 1:1's run. Everyone from Full out comp rigs to Trail rigs run these things. So I can see these being used in many build threads.

The first is the Walker Evans beadlock. The second is a Coil Over shock. I know you already make shocks, but no one has came very close to a True Scale Coil Over. These would be a smaller Dia. shock then you already have, but would make some very nice scale additions to builds. So RC4wd what do you think?

We already working on a shock like that, we still trying to figure out how to attached the piggy pack to the body.

In terms of that wheel, we will try to get a CAD done by next week

Make the shock longer and smaller diameter please. Also the shock boots should be a option, most modern 1:1 shocks have them, but if they are getting used offroad nobody runs them. Especially if its a coilover!!

Yep, Im all for a nice simple small diameter shock, just as you make it long enough. And it better not leak

Those wheels look pretty smooth aswell

This is shock is nothing like the one I posted. Yours is a Normal looking shock. Looks like your standard Rancho or Skyjacker shock. Looks nothing like Coil-Overs.

scale would be like a 10mm OD body or what ever the turndown tlt shocks are. It would be cool with the dual rate/spring and threaded.

Yeah, and a scale shaft would be about the diameter of a sewing needle and bend the first time the shock tried to compress. Some of you scale guys need to be a little realistic with your expectations...

They already make the X10 & X11 shocks...so really the only difference would be the addition of a second coil and to shrink the whole shock down a bit in size.

Maybe so, but it isnt impossible to make a 10mm OD shock that still works acceptably an uses standard diameter shafts.

These would be fine if they weren't 1/5th Scaled.. Make these have a remote resv... and not the piggy back.. Then just scale them downsome. You can keep the Shaft larger and just scale down the Coilsprings Cups and shock Body. Does that make sense?

Sweet.. The wheel would be a great addition to your already great line of beadlocks.

The shock will be great as well. Just make sure to make it Scale..
