Those are Revo shocks...possibly the best shocks in the world for a droop as then are always very thick dampening thanks to them being designed for a cantilever suspension. Even with 25 weight they move quite slow...but nice. Only down fall is their total extension/compression won't work on everything.

I added a new plate (stock blank was 60mm and not big enough for dual triangulation)...the VF dig and a 55T motor didn't fit without a deal of mods. So I made a new plate of 70mm wide, narrower than the stock AX-10. It could be narrower now that I've taken a bit more time and looking...who knows might make another.

WB: 12.5" low riding and 12.25" extended
Clearance: 2.25" low and 3.25" extended

I'm extremely happy with its performance over the old stuff.

Oh I'll have some AX-10 parts for sale on the 27th, or maybe Sunday if I get time to swing on out. Hard Ano'd AX-10 shock bodies, never never used. Stock shocks and chassis plates too.

Got my steering fixed on the tlt and went to go test it on my rock coarse and i noticed i only 3 wheels spinning, i started to drive it back to the garage and 3 wheels went one way and the other one went another way:-(. I hope i will have it fixed by next weekend.

 

[JUSTGOINGSLOW]

Bam Bam, sorry to here that, but it was still nice to meet you and your dad. I'm sure you'll have it running by the 27th. Take care.

Is there a meeting spot where we all park for next weekend? I know its by the Meijers, but having never been it would be nice to meet up in one spot then head to the course.
