| Great easy way for upper shock mounts pictures added
Use the ball end BF4 in the instruction manual. The have a 3mm threaded hole all the way thru them. I put a bolt thru the chassis with the threads sticking out and put a lock nut on it. Then used a 1/8" spacer then screwed the ballend on. Put the shock on and another lock nut. You get lots of movement and works alot better then fuel tubing. If you need a picture, let me know and I will post one this weekend. I am using maxx shocks.

First pic. shows the pcs. on the 3mm bolt Second is everything snugged up Third shows shock slid on Completed. This set up works very well. There is a little bit of up and down play between the shock eye and the ball end but not much. |

My TLT kit only came with one of those BF4 ball ends. From what I understand getting a set of 4 can be costly/difficult. Heres something along the same lines that uses cheap, easy to locate parts. http://www.4wdthunder.net/Forum/index.php?topic=179.0 |

| Correct
There is no binding at all thru the suspension cycle. I also like the idea of putting a traxxas rod end on in place of the eye.
