    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.

    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.

    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 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...
    If its not broken, let me see it

    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

    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

    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.
