Shock Mount Question

[T-Man]

Okay, I know I should search, but I don't have time right now.

I am putting together a RockRaider chassis, with Kongs, and I am using longer links in the front than I am the back.

My problem is, I have some Savage shocks that I was going to use, but I don't know how, or where to mount the shocks on the A-Arms. I have the stock a-arms.

Can ya'll post up some pics of how you mounted your shocks on the axles, or at least the axle side?

Thank you
Mark

It's changed a good amount since this picture but gives you the basic idea. I also don't run the shock mounts off of the chassis, I could but don't for wanting a lower profile setup....Although I do have some short-short shock mounts off of the chassis for the rear right now, still lower profile than the stock Rockraider 4" shock mounts.

Well, here in lies the problem. You have RPM arms, and I have stock arms. There isn't enough meat to run these.

I am thinking about just doing a link mounted shock mount. That way I could do it with the different length links, and I shouldn't have as many problems as an axle mounted link.

BTW, are you just running the 4" Traxxas style big bore shocks? I have the Savage shocks, but I have some T-Maxx shocks that I could use as well. And I could take off the higher shock mount as well.

Also, what wheel back do you recommend on the RockRaider with Kongs? I have this at about 17-1/2" right now.

Right from our Maxx SAS directions:

Stock Wide-Maxx arms...
