Ok, after seeing your first vid of these...they didn't seem to do much of anything, and almost looked as though you could have gotten the same effect with solid links in place of the shocks.

After seeing this vid, I can now see a little better on how they work. Looks like they would be great at carrying your tires over voids and cracks.

In R33F3R's black and green truck, what is he using to brake down the slope at 2:20?

dieselfuel 09-04-2007 08:06 PM

could you explain these to me? they seem really stiff, making the truck teeter-totter a lot.

twisted 420 09-04-2007 10:04 PM

It's simple,the draw is taken when needed,keeping traction at all times the rig is super perdictable,it's break over is done with total control.Watch the vid each truck is set up different.The rust colored rig has tons of flex with the latex on it, but not to much,Look at the side hill on these rigs there killer.

This is not 1.1 it's R.C CRAWLING

ROXSHOCKS PUT THE TRACTION DOWN

AND YOUR RIG ON TOP

so there is no compression travel???
seems kinda stiff to me, there really isnt any "droop" to it either. seems like they only travel when under load.

That was just the dig. You can see it in my build thread.

Well guys, they work! Not sure how or why but they do.
My rig climbs better, side hills better, declines better. Is way perdictable.
I've had tubers, xrc's, droop, sprung, scale, bulu.... you name it.
This rig drives the best for me.

im all for low articulation, but they just seem to not actually do anything.. i'll have to see them in moab. either way i hope they do well for you.

It would depend on vehicle weight as well as the tubing. It is tunable, like he said. Very simple design, but effective. I use latex tubing on my shocks already, it does flex some.

I'll have them in Moab for everyone to see.
My setup ended up with a bit more articulation then Reef's, but still very controllable. I'll have the new pics up tomorrow

Yes there is conpression,thats whats cool the rig has a good ride, there is about 1/2" of conpression,Homes hobbies is right,different rims, more weight it all depends on the rig ,so you use softer laytex on light rigs."thumbsup""thumbsup"

twisted 420 09-05-2007 11:06 PM

My son made the other vid he wanted to do his first vid ,this is the best one to check out, lot's more to come."thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup"

YoUnG_vErSiOn 09-10-2007 09:21 PM

DUDE 09-10-2007 09:24 PM

WTF?? I didn't see much traction and actually some pretty simple lines with bad driving.

did I miss something here?? :lol:

Tupers 09-11-2007 12:24 PM

These shocks look really cool. I like the way they give quite a stiff ride. I've experimented with soft set ups but they just dont work for my style and terrain.

When will I be able to get a set, how much will they be and how much will the cost to get them over to the UK??
