[Stampede_Guy]

(sounds like an infomirtial) Yes finally the day has come when someone put duel on a stampede! who you ask? well Stampede_Guy of course.. haha and it is the best thing i have ever done... never bottom out again...

Cool, but sometimes botteming out is a good thing, Not being able to puts alot of strees on the Hub's. a arm carriers, shock towers, a arms ect, so some times its nice to bottem out.

Kcrunch racer x put dual shocks on his npede

sound's cool do you have a pic?

[Emendija]

Yeah Kcrunch racer x pointed me towards the site that has the n'pede/tmaxx suspension upgrade and I am 50% complete...took two hours so far...not exactly as was shown though. I installed a dual shock set-up for the front yesterday but am thinking that it is to stiff...maybe a very soft set of springs with thinner/thinnest shock oil available would be the ticket. I utilized the stock mounting hole (front and back) to mount the dual shock set-up.

Why would you want dual shocks?

[Emendija]

Nah......I opted not to install dual shocks.....the vehicle I think is too light for a dual shock set-up for the kind of driving I like to do...if I were jumping alot then maybe.

i have had dual shocks on my pede since i made the trde with surferdude a while ago, it does help out i do lot of jmp shows and racing with that particular pede. congrats on the dual shocks its the way to go.

hrm your pic doesnt work.And ive seen Dual Shocks on a pede before.

[N-StampedeRacer5]

I dont really think that would be a good idea. You want to use all of the travel on your shocks, not just a little. So you should bottom out almost every time. Thats what the shocks are for:to use the whole stroke so its a smooth ride.

Ever seen the baha racing trucks? There back ends always sag a bit and bottoming out is a must, improves shock travel and keeps the ride smooth. Turning on a dual shocked truck would increase amount of rollouts becuase the chassie wouldn't roll very much...

[N-StampedeRacer5]

Exactly Fuzzy. Nice way to put it

[Fuzzy Logic]

Thanks When people say stuff like that makes a person feel good!

[kcrunch racer x]

it depends on the weight of the oil and the sensitivity of the spring, iu se light weight and soft springs o nthe second set of shocks i race and jump with the dual shocker and it has never really rolled unless i did something stupid like a sharp turn.

but trial and error got the shcoker to where i want it, and u guys are right the shocks if to tight could cause roll effect easily

[rAcInAROUND]

sounds possible but would be stiff

actually they are not tight i have a very lght weight oil and i also set up the shock plat form so that i receive max travel from both sets of shocks, and it workx very well the system that i have set up and it is very simple go to my album to shocking results and u will see it is very simple

[rAcInAROUND]

so you got it to work ?
cool if you did...it sounds cool but i was going to say wouldnt it be stiff.....but why would you do that anyway...one shock is enough?

[kcrunch racer x]

actually for the amount of jumps that i do just practicing for shows and events i really need the dual shocks and with the lighter weight in the shocks all 4 in the rear function well as a tema in fact and it has improved my jump performance very much.
