Popular Post Manxman Posted August 24, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2020 Eventually I got it all together [emoji123]. Despite my rather shabby job with spraying I'm quite happy with final results. Massive thanks to everyone for their advices and patience[emoji6] Hopefully there will be some open country tests on Thursday. Few bits needs some fine tuning and I will think about some nice decal too.. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboi Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Looks really good@Manxman. The paint looks good to me.Looking forward to some action shots. [emoji106]Sent from my VOG-L09 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxman Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Thank you@Jimboi. It's far from good but it's not noticeable on pictures [emoji16] there will be definitely some outdoor photos as soon as I manage to take it outside Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxman Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 I had another day of fun today in a forest. I noted a few things. Original Axial shocks are not great as two rear ones are leaking already. Can anyone recommend any decent ones?Second question is easy. Does anybody have a 1.9 inch spear wheel with tyre that I could buy? Ordering a full set of four just to have one hanging at the rear seems to be a little overkill. Any offers?

DartmoorTrails Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 SSD or Traxxas shocks seem to be among the most highly regarded.I e not tried the SSD yet but have lots of Traxxas shocks which are super smooth and leak free [emoji106]https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392824521644Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-Roo Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I’m running both Traxxas GTS and SSD shocks. Am very happy with both and would happily recommend either 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it will be easy to find correct shocks but there seems to difficulties with correct length. Standard SCX10 II is 98mm. However I can only see either 90 or 100mm. If I cannot find any 98mm I will go for 100mm unless someone can magically show me some 98mm...Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can alter mounting length with a different rod end length on the bottom 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-Roo Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 @Manxman Go with the traxxas GTS that are fitted to the TRX4’s. I built mine using green slime and the have been great, and leak free 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxman Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 Thank you. After hours on Internet I found some cheap 98mm long ones. I will try them first and see how it goes. Are Traxxas GTS one size or various options? I'm a bit OCD when it comes to ride height. I think it's started years ago when some cowboy mechanic fitted shocks in the wrong way in my car[emoji23]Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-Roo Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Not sure if they come in different sizes, but it’s possible. I have mine in a droop setup and they work really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxman Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 It arrived quickly and looks good. I filled them with oil and fitted to the rear after a small change to way of screwing it to the top mount as they as slightly wider. It is all good but they have definitely too hard springs. So I will try put originals Axial springs on them and will see what happens. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxman Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 After fitting Axial springs and a few runs it works nearly prefect. Most importantly there are no leaks. [emoji106]Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
