King Shock Question

[GravelDuster]

Hey guys, I have some of RC4WD's King Shocks 110mm on my Truggy. I love the look of the shocks and finally got the hydro lock issues sorted out, but due to the heavy weight of my rig, these things are like pogo sticks. What weight oil are you running in these?

try around 40-50

2000 weight diff oil "thumbsup"

I have 70 in one rig and they are still bouncy need valves with smaller holes

they are like pogo sticks lol .... good for scale but crappy performance"thumbsup"

You just need to set them up properly with heavy weight oil to slow them down. Sheesh, I love mine.

I would like to see some spring options for them, when I filled mine I used 50wt oil but the rig Im building them with is only half assembled and they're really tight and stiff. Im not going to worry about it till it's finished because it's going to be pretty heavy so it may be OK ?
The light wt diff fluid sounds like a good way to go, Im going to try some heavier shock oils I already have first tho. I just have to get motivated to finish the welding




FYI; All typos are the phones fault.

I believe the axial springs are a direct fit for tuning options.

Hmmm, I hadn't looked. I just thought the KS were slightly smaller in diameter ,I will look when times allows.

Axial springs are a perfect fit and are what I used to get mine dialed.

What color springs did you use?

I replaced the long springs with the springs that come on a stock kit Honcho. I'm 98% sure they are green. The trick is the thick oil. It really tames them down....

I cut some other pistons down and get them to fit. I will have to take pics and post them
