the shocls i chose to use were aluminum shocks for the redcat volcano. if your hobby shop sells redcat stuff they prolly sell the volcano as well.. these shocks are 13 bux for 2 of them... now let me go ahead and beat everyone to the bunch, most everyone is gonna say that you HAVE to make extenders to make the shock work.. i have refuted this 1000 times, so one more time,, NO YOU DONT!!!!!!!!!!! take look at my setup its pretty simple.. just drill in the chassis where i put the X's. use a drill bit a shade bigger than what the screw it and there you go and you can see how i mounted to the axle, all you need is a longer 3mm screww.. nothing to it... |

had to go out of state to get my xt so probably cant get those shocks but thanks for the idea. waiting for my lo pro chassis to show up so i wont have to drill any holes , it comes with more mounting options.
