Why is the MT so hard on shocks?

[Gas Jocky]

It's not the ideal place to install the tie wraps but it does the job, it's on enough of a diagonal to work.

With all the parts I have broke, one part I havn't broke is the shock shaft. Why? Because I have never used the stock shocks. I installed Baja SS shock inserts with the 6mm shafts on day one. Anything less than 6mm just won't hold up on ANY 1/5 scale.

No I was being polite, since he did try, You need the top mount point on a non pivoting surface, Like the frame shock tower so forth. Then mount to the bottom a arm.

What about a suspension limiter kit. A plat that is fixed to the shocks plate that you can hang the straps and hook them to the lower arm. I have seen it some wear cant remember thou. I will try to find it.

My 4.2 mm have been doing the job on the track and bashing. No bent shafts yet.

Exactly. That is what I mean.
