RSC doesn't like my shocks.

[Pope]

Okay put the RSC on and was running it around the other day nothing major most air it saw was going off a speed bump maybe 2 feet. Any way I was pulling the motor last night and saw that it bent both shock shafts in the front 🙁 I have the HPI alum Threaded body shocks on it. Shame of it is I am out of shock shafts.

might have to step up your game to some big bores.

I'm thinking it might be more of a problem runnin a single stocker shock than the RSC.

cant handle the heat when you run it as a single shock? :dunno:

 

[Pope]

I know that it is the shock that is the issue. I am not blaming the rsc. Just a tad bit annoyed that I am out of shock shafts. Now I need to drop 90 bucks for BB's 20 for HF shock shafts and 20 for HF shock caps.

 

[NITROMITE]

that stinks pope!!

 

[Pope]

Called HPI to see if they might have these shock shafts sitting around that I could buy no such luck. 🙁

Alex, I will send you some of those on-road springs I used on mine...

Should get you fixed up if you can find some shafts. I might have some shafts or 2 shocks I can send you.

i know its not much cheaper but big bores could be got off tcs for 65 bucks. damn good price, plus if thats too much get them off a flux there on ebay all the time and just as good really.. lighter for your racer.

Pope pm me your address and ill send some shafts.

I found some stock shafts for now. Thanks savageman. Going to get big bores soon just got to make sure I buy extra parts I really don't like running anything without a full set of the same thing in back up. So I am looking at like 120 for big bores after alum caps extra shafts and bases. I might just keep what I have on the back and run the big bores up front.

 

[Travis Mowery]

If your tight on money get the plastic big bores?

 

[Mickey]

pope the flux big bores or plastic ones are tough as nails i have been running them now for a while and they have seen big air with no problems. they use the same parts as the aluminum BB so the hellfire shafts will fit as well

 

[Pope]

Its not that. I have a bad habbit of buying something and than a day later have the chance to buy the samething for a much better price. Plus I don't want to buy them without being able to get the replacement parts. As of right now I can't find shafts for them. I will wait till I can do it right.

 

[Travis Mowery]

Do what's best for you.

 

[Fx]

Just buy the BB's and worry about the caps and shafts later. You can shorten the ride height by using another rubber stopper inside the shock. That's what I did and they perform great.

 

[Pope]

As long as I can make it through the week without buying anything else I will buy them next week. 65 isn't to bad.
