Dag Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Woulds anyone know whether springs from another model would fit a DC1? I see makes such as Axial offer different rate springs Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dag Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 Or failing that, can anyone give me a length and inside diameter (or shock body OD) of an Axial SCX10 spring? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m33bhardwaj Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Let me know if you found something about this. Need better shocks for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need better shocks for sure I think the shocks are basically ok, apart from the pistons that dont allow enough oil flow. I've had a set of pistons machined, that I'm going to experiment on, using different oilway holes, so I'll update when I get round to that. But the springs are really too stiff and too long. Even at full extension, there's not enough sag. Having such a heavy / long spring in the first place, means the adjusters are negated. I will source some lighter / shorter springs that the adjusters can be used with and again, I'll update. Been busy messing with my new shell for the last few days, so the shocks have really been on the backburner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to whip one of my springs off for a measure up before I can confirm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dag Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share Posted October 16, 2021 Just pulled the trigger on some springs. Maybe a fraction longer but hopefully softer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m33bhardwaj Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 The shell looks pretty great!! Gave me a few ideas for my next shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
