Thanks yoter just ordered for the new build

Awesome kit and product man!! It really is a great option for the Traxxas GTS shocks. I know a ton of people run them on every rig they own. I will definitely be getting this kit for all the GTS shocks I have in the near future.

Im about to order the 99 dollar set.. which springs you recommend for trx4 sport.. bouta a pound or 2 heavier then stock..

Only used them for a short time. Now they come with delrin cups.

What does this exactly do? More droop means the rc sits lower? More droop means it gives more travel? It minimize the shock travel? Or jenerally it just sits a bit lower because of the short springs?

@DixielandRC

Жыл бұрын

It does sit lower. Gives a lot more options for spring rates. Doesnt effect travel or maybe a half a mm. And i am out of them at the moment. Waiting on lower cups to get made.

Have you got videos with these in action? Thanks

It would technically. But the issue would be when the shock extends all the way out the spring would be just sitting there.

Dwayne Baker ehh. They are gen7 shocks. They will work but need work to make them great. There is a reason trx shocks are on lot of different manufacturers trucks.

Sorry, but I'm scratching my head as to figure out why would that be an "upgrade". You can also achieve a full droop (well, it's never completely full anyways) with the stock setup, or am I wrong? I don't get it. Sorry I'm just asking. Thanks for the video and for your explanations.

I was thinking the same thing... why not just spin the stock shock collars down to push the rods out for more droop... interesting...maybe it looks more scale to have the smaller springs and no shock collars?

@northsandiegorc4248

There’s a couple of reasons to do this mod, one is getting a smaller diameter shock giving you more clearance on the chassis.(not having to use spacers/standoffs) secondly there are some killer spring options for the mini t springs. (Dlux fab) has more spring rates for finer tuning.

Can you ship these to Hawaii, and when will it be available again

@DixielandRC

Жыл бұрын

The mod that I perform on the lower shock cap.

What exactly is the advantage to this? It seems that losing all the threading adjustments in favor of only changing the springs for 3 options limits adjustments to only spring rates, without the ability to adjust ride height.

@FarmerFpv

Жыл бұрын

Because TRX4 springs are not soft enough. The mini T springs are as soft as you can get for circulation. These trucks are belly draggers or mostly cheater rigs so ride height is adjusted by moving shock positions on the multiple-position towers.

G3516dude length of the spring isnt really the issue. Its mainly for the tuning purpose of them. The softest traxxas spring still isnt soft enough in most cases. These mini t springs are also kind of in between the traxxas rates.
