Andythecrane Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Fitted the shocks, A straight swap, only mod is to replace the stand off bolts with a 30mm one. Done a drop test. The old shocks would slap the deck at knee height. The new ones are now just hitting the ground at nipple height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andythecrane Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Fitted Velcro to the side guards and to the body, lowered the body posts as low as possible to get the desired fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andythecrane Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 The left one is the new RC8T shock. The right is the original, for comparison. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
