When I filed a flat on the pistons I removed too much material so now I'm running 45wt to compensate.

stretch Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Right tried 20wt and I don't get any usual rebound without the spring on (well on 2 of the shocks it did once but that was it) and they feel terrible. What mods do I need to do to improve them or can someone recommend and el cheapo eBay/Amazon shocks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPeaski Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Is that how all of the shocks are assembled? Those 'O' rings and black 'top hats' should all be in the bottom section of the shock. This picture from the manual is how they should be assembled. Try that first and see if it improves things. You may need to lightly sand the piston (part no 230041)to a slightly smaller diameter in order for it to slide smoothly and not bind inside the body. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked and the person who built them (was second hand) put all the rings and hats in the top section ie before putting the shaft into the body 😆 Edited March 21, 2022 by stretch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPeaski Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 8 hours ago, stretch said: Is it 90mm I need? Depends on how the new shocks are measured, eye centre to eye centre they should be 90mm, but if total overall extended length then 100mm. Just followed the link from @Jack Reacher and you'll need the 90mm ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yrkoon Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) do trx4 shocks fit the dc1? had my dc1 out recently with my dads new trx6 and before that his trx4, the traxxas shocks are amazing compared to the dc1 shocks, if they fit im gonna buy a set for my dc1 but will they fit? 🙂 Edited April 15, 2022 by Yrkoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look way back on page 8 of this thread where I was looking at Gmade piggy back shock as a possible upgrade. @everclear1984 mentioned TRX 4 shocks and linked to their GTS shocks, also, @Jimboi linked to the Element enduro shocks as an option. I went with Gmade XD Aeration shocks which work great, but need modified upper mounts to fit. Pinch the ones of your dad's for a test run 🤣 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dazbolt Posted April 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2022 Hi, I bought a 2nd hand DC1 a couple of weeks ago mainly due to it's scale chassis, It was tatty though and needed some TLC. I've printed a body and front bumper that now need rubbing down ready for paint and replaced the shocks for some 90mm Desert Lizards. I do quite like the primer colour on it so may choose something similar as a final colour although I'm not sure yet. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGinge Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Impressive printing. How long did that take to produce, ignoring all the work to prep it once it comes off the printer? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redback Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Impressive indeed, came out well! Along with how long id be keen to know what the body weights, im going to guess around 1.2 - 1.5kg? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dazbolt Posted April 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2022 It took around 100hrs to print, I slowed the print speed so to keep the fine details. I’ve just broke out the kitchen scales and it weighs 14oz, less than I thought if I’m honest. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last question i promise! Epic stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
