|  Long shocks on a Juggy
hey guys, i bought a set of savage style shocks for my juggy crawler and put them on last nite, but now i have "the chassis twist of death"(lol) again. i set them up so the top mounts are above the chassis plates. right now the wheel base sits at 14.25". im running maxx style drive shafts and an e-maxx tranny if that helps. Thanx Maxxtraxx K5 |

Got any pics of your rig, so we can see how the shocks are mounted and how the 4-link is set-up? Are your lower shock mounts located on the axle and not the links? What weight oil are you running? What springs are you running?

I had the same thing happen, which springs are you running...I started with the orange springs and then tried the black ones... now... the spings are on the shelf and i have MGT's on there   http://us.f3.yahoofs.com/users/41e15...YnQ_CB9gXsFbuV       Last edited by TwistedXT; 08-12-2005 at 02:24 PM. |

sorry guys, my bad, the shocks arent savage, there Hotbodies, as you can see, the shocks are mounted to the axle, and im running (this may seem funny but) Mobil 1 synthetic 10W 30 oil, and those are the stock springs that came with the shocks, they are soft so i thought those would be good for crawling pics   |

Well, a big problem that I see is your center of gravity is too high. Try to move your battery, as well as any other heavy components, lower in the chassis. Run stiffer springs and thick shock oil. Try to move your upper shock mounts inside the frame rails. There's some good info here: Bender!!!!!! |
