Black Label Crawlers "Chopper" MOA LCC Build!

[Jeepial]

Yeah, I think you're right. The rear clears much better, though I haven't tried flipping the shocks on the rear yet. I'm waiting on some rod ends so I can replace the crappy eyelets on the ends of the shock bodies with something able to handle more of an angle (al-la shock cap mod).

I think a ball from a revo rod end will just pop in the factory shock eyelet..Well I think that what Carver was doing..

Cool. I've got some, so I might try it. The problem with the stock shock eyelet is the shock body is so close to the pivot point that you get little range of motion.

This is true..Just something to try though..Might work out ok..All else fail,I say buy some RC4WD Sparks titanium shaft shocks..I heard they work good and dont leak at all.

 

[LincolnBlack]

Definitely worth trying before sawing off the eyelets!

Ti shock shafts sound like a good thing, though if my shocks are inverted, they shouldn't leak anyway.

yah no joke..not having to take saws to stuff is a good thing I think..lol

But yah,those Sparks Titaniums are gonna be my next shocks for sure!I am not a big fan of inverting shocks so non leaking ones are vital..:mrgreen:

Me neither normally, but I'm chasing ultra-low CoG this time - gotta have something to strive for!!

Does the shock oil weigh that much,I mean really..:lol:..j/k

 

[LincolnBlack]

Hmm, didn't think about the shock oil itself...best weight it. "thumbsup" :lol:

Dont forget though,you will probably get the most accurate weight reading if you dump all the oil out on your scale..:lol:

 

[LincolnBlack]

I wonder if different weights, are different..er...weights? :lol:

Tried the Revo ball Zack. Works a treat! Thanks for the tip-off. Had to do a little shaving to get the range of motion I was after, but all good. Clears everything by microns and even works well on full lock, only a tiny bit of scrub with the tyres.
