Scale Shocks Preview

[rc4wd]

Length is 110mm, shock body OD is 9mm Let us know what you guys think

[Mnster]

Damn, those are looking great.

[rc4wd]

Oh important, the spring will be in blue too.

[Mnster]

Also are there going to be multiple spring rate available? Progressive action would be the ticket.

[run2jeepn]

Both springs? and Why Blue? The over all look is great. Just the Color is odd. I still think the Body doesn't need to be threaded. Would look better smooth. Have the Bottom spring longer then the top spring. Have the Top spring raised to the highest point on the Shock Body.

The blue is good by me, more like a FOX shock... although if the bottom spring was red, top spring was smaller and blue, I'd be down for a set.

[rc4wd]

We wont be able to make one version that satisfy everybody, we will take some of those suggestions and apply to our next shocks. We also plan to release a piggy back version as well Mnster, we can get that done, might be after we ship these (which is next week) run2jeepn, we will consider that for next round (wont be very far away)

Sounds fine with me. I'm just glad you guys are not afraid to build new things. And fast also.

Look great, 9mm OD is perfect.

[Fracture]

They look great to me, of course I am sceptical about how smooth they are... guess we will haveto wait till someone tests them.
Springs look good silver.

Theyre very blue, I assume the anodising can be stripped off anyway for those that dont like it?

[Katan]

What is the inside diameter? 7mm?

A bit of caustic soda dissolved in water and a quick dip of the parts will sort that out.

[Col_Sanders]

You must really like getting me in trouble. I think my wife hates you.

[STANG KILLA SS]

i love the blue, like fox shox.
any chance of a shorter version? like 80mm?

and what about less body, and more shaft, ie same length for max travel. for a 4"+ shock they only appear to have 1" of travel.
love the blue.

[Fracture]

I am also a little worried about the amount of travel, I found it quite an issue when I designed my double spring scale shock.
Main thing is that they run smooth when oil filled - I guess it may be bit of a compromise with the small diameter body (great job on getting it down to 9mm!)

[Mirage]

PLEASE DON'T FILL THESE WITH OIL!!!!

Send them dry and let us put the silicon oil we choose in these ones, the stuff you used in the scale white shocks is terrible.

[exesivefire]

yup... I'll have to order some of these for this for sure!


If they work well, I will have to order many, many more

I thought you guys wanted these as scale as possible? What's wrong with having the threaded body...it looks more like a 1:1 with the threads, although they would need to go the whole length of the body to look correct.

[poppamac70]

Isn't the idea of the threaded body to change tension on the spring they look great but some different colors would make some people happier also it does look like the boy is a little long for the travel you must have a longer piston inside

[Mr. Burpsalot]

Quality appears to be very nice, I like the idea of separate springs.
I am hoping that different colors of these will be available.
