The suspension geo is about maxed out at full travel but we tend not to run our spring preload/ride height there anyway. It doesn’t work as well. 30-40% static sag is a good starting point for good suspension performance.

Can you print some taller rear fenders,so we can lay harder in the rear?
@crawlersncustoms14 күн бұрын
Haven’t thought about that. I was leaning towards running the slightly smaller 53 COE wheel size and running a low profile tires on those. Combined they should be 10-15mm smaller in diameter. Also we did make low profile tires for this lowering kit and made a version two which drops the front bumper to the ground.

@@crawlersncustomsYup! That's what they do on 1:1 duallys , something similar. Section the fenders and then basically bring the top of the fender to the top of the bed line, so you have the maximum tuck ,while keeping the body lines. I just purchased the f450 yesterday,but already planning on body dropping it 😂 Keep up the great work man!!

Personally, I’ve had expensive Pitbull shocks, had spent $200 on two pairs of shocks so I thought for $80 for the Dravtechs was a bargain! For me, they’re the best performing shocks I’ve ever had and I own two crawlers that are sporting them. I prefer them on my technical trucks that can creep slow up rocks and terrain! I’ve had ProLine scalers, Vanquish S8E, Incision and Axial scx10 3 shocks. I find that since Dravtechs are based off Traxxsas big bore design, they really are the best shocks out there and provide the most supple movement. Shocks. Well worth the money when you’re ordering them you can get them in multiple colors. You can get them in two different colors for the body and caps and spring cups on the same shock so you can get them to match the theme of your trucks paint scheme. The Traxxas rebuild seals and clips kit part #2362 are only about $5 to $6 dollars per pair of shocks when needed so this is a great option to rebuild on your own!

Dropped the mofo big block on the tiles, when I removed it to have a look inside. Yeah it bounced up hard! something came loose inside. Plus the remote kept flying off the counter too, like about a hundred times until the buttons came loose 😂😂😂 so just reinstalled the stock motor. Still moves quick on the bigger lipo.
