SOLD / FOUND BigBore Shocks

[Gaz]

I'm looking for BigBore Shocks for my Xb-e, anyone? ( probably 5b will fit ).Where is the cheapest price new?

Do a quick search, there is a couple good threads on using Baja shocks and Nutech shocks

 

[Gaz]

I'm sure they fit, just looking for a good deal somewhere.

Looks very nice. Its sitting up pretty high you don't have any binding or rubbing going on with your a arms? Your dogbones are almost straight up and down.

Front shocks are a bit long, had to compress them so i could screw them to towers. Any way I can lower the tension?

 

[rcgasser]

OK cool!!!!

You could cut the springs

Or get softer springs maybe.

Get some killer rc limiting straps, you can set the suspension droop to where it needs to be so you don't get binding on drivetrain. If it is to (Bouncy) after that you need to find softer springs or cut springs because shocks are to long.

I think I rather cut the springs but not sure how to do it, any advise is welcome. If I do cut them then I will lose my flat surface, can i recreate a flat surface? Any other options? Thanks guys.

I was on innovative rc website, they have different springs for those shocks. I ordered shocks, extra shafts and rebuild kits from them all at once. But forgot to order other springs. Lol. Before cutting springs look into that.
