Redcat aluminum shocks

[chefjness]

Does anyone run these? I break stock shocks every time I run.


Any info would be great.


Cheers!

I have them on my buggy and so far I am really impressed with them they seem to soak up the rough stuff pretty good.

what about switching to baja 5b shocks? Are they a direct fit?

I did this mod to mine. The fit is not 100% but they function well. nothing has broken since I installed them.

kun are you using the baja frount shock on the f/r

If memory serves me right, I put complete front SS shocks on the rear. Then I put SS inserts into the rear rampage housings and put those on the front.


The only problem is the shockend things are a tad short and this causes the springretainers to rest on the arms.

Rake in the bunker


A man said to his golfing friend, "I hit two of my best balls yesterday!" "Oh yeah?" "Yeah, I stepped on a rake in the bunker." .............................................................................................................................................warhammer online gold warhammer gold http://www.warhammergold119.com

I run them on my truck and never had a problem at all.

Can't believe it 3 jumps and this happened. I jumped these same jumps 80 times more aggresively with my stock 5b and not once did I break the shocks.Oh, well. But man I was hoping to get a little more than 3 jumps out of them!

any body have the part numbers for the front and rear phat dad shock kits?

 

[mooman007uk]

front is PD-FSS Bajampage


Rear is PD-RSS Bajampage


looks like Rob is out of stock on the website, try vancouver hobbies they might have some in stock.

It will be another 4 weeks for Phatdad stuff. Vancouver Hobbies did order a few sets though.

 

[Bryan 70546]

You can also try largescalerc.com he keep a pretty good stock on rampage parts.

 

[RampageHopUps]

I don't think he has bought any Phatdad shafts from me. Can't remember.

 

[kdfi]

I can't wait a month or two for the Phat dads to come in.


Since it seems the weak point of mine is the rear stock rampage shocks. Can I just replace the rears with the HD 5b front shocks and continue to use the stock rampage front shocks? Or will this mess up geometry


thx
