Everything I own or have built has plastic Slash ultra shocks with aluminum caps and have had not a failure one with them (typically a rear shock on the front of my rigs, different brand on the rear...

Yeah, reading the op, its more about working than going long travel. 3-3/4" long arms can use Jato tie rods and turnbuckles so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. As for the shocks, end use would...

To an extent, his comment pertains to running SC tires, not something like 2.8s or a way larger diameter where chassis slap doesn't exist. Rear tower and rear shocks? How much taller is the rear...

Seeing the bones have been dug up, a couple years ago DMG used a Bomber cage and Slash 4x4 suspension components, called it a "Thug".

I think you could get a DB8 cage to fit without a lot of...

Eye to eye? Where did you glean that info from? That is perfect for a 1/7 scale scratch build I have going now and front shocks are my gremlin.

Thanks Dbl G. I have a Summit that I will pull the springs off of it to verify if the rate will work for me or not. With the rocker suspension, they are like 3 or 4:1, right? I haven't had time to...

Drill and use an axle hex pin. Easy. File the groove a bit on the gear to accommodate for the larger diameter pin. STRC route will run you about $100 when done.

Well.........??????? The verdict is????

Gonna be slow on 2s, there are gear calculators online where you can work up gearing numbers. Pinions are cheap. Drawing a blank with s count and kv right now. 2.72 is the gearing in the tranny,...

I've haven't had problems with the 48p format. Axles, that is another story. I run 1/10 Summit axles now with good luck. MIP X Duty program will work for you. As for the lay shaft, I think the pin is...

With the CC 1415 motor, 2400 kv, and Yeti SCORE tires, about 4.7", I ran 16-86 with 48p, hitting mid 40's on a 10 lb scratch build, RPM case. Your first casualty will be the lay shaft pin. Drill and...

If you are into KOH type terrain, building that cage would be fun. If you like the comp stuff, you are looking at a bitter disappointment in performance, too top heavy. If you are a fabricator, a...

That is a different looking deal, bouncer or what? From the assumption that it is made from rod (stated as built from steel), it could be waaaaay top heavy, probably pushing every bit of 8-10 lbs on...

Are those the same as Summit shocks? If so, I need to increase the rate big time, provided the measuring format is the same.18.3 lbs is way too soft for what I need.

Well I've been educated to say the least. Losi springs are not available at the rate I think I need. It just so happens that McMaster Carr has something that may work, at 8.08 inch pounds, 6 springs...

What is readily available out there and what spring rates are there? I need waaaay stiff springs for some Slash rears on a scratch build.. Waaaaay stiffer than stock. Suggestions?

Why upgrade? You running 6s or something and have broken the stockers? Anyhow, MIP X Duties are hard to beat for aftermarket pieces..

Yes and yes again. Caps solve the problem, hence the cure. It was my gateway car. How ironic. I am addicted now to scratch builds....

Yes and yes. It is the cure.

Add the bonus factor that replacement parts are available literally everywhere. You can also mix and match parts from different models and they fit, enabling more tuning options. Do others perform...

May I ask why? There is a guy that built a Slash sized TT, gasser, that made some for the front that kinda worked, cable operated, while using the regular diff disc brake for the rear. Its a nitro...

Is everyone happy with the stock motor, esc and servo in your UDR? If you have chosen to change/"upgrade", what did you use and why?

Thats great. You could always cut some holes (door windows and rear window area) and shoe goo some rubberized window screen mesh or 1/8" hardware cloth inside to keep the muck out and let air in....

Figure on getting about 1/3 of your investment back if you're lucky. Depressing. Might be better off parting it out as to stay out of the wood shed and keep you shorts. Someone needs to want what you...

Summit axles are stronger than E Revo axles, but you get more working angle out of the discontinued TMaxx axles mentioned above. Smaller U joints on them. The axle stubs offered now are 6mm straight...
