There are many great shocks on the market. Some of out favorites come off the Axial Capra, Traxxas TRX4 and Element RC kist and RTR trucks. When using them on an aftermarket chassis usually the main problem with these shocks are too much upward stroke causing too much articulation. This is where the spacers come into pley. By adding spacers under the shock piston inside the shock body, you can reduce the overall length of the shock to better suit your custom build. Most after market chassis benefit greatly from shocks with a stroke of 10-15mm and a maximum eye-to-eye length of 80-90mm. Most RTR shocks also leave the piston resting on the bottom of the inside of the shock with little to no oil under the piston. This makes the first few millimeters of compression incosistent. by adding as little as one 2-3mm spacer under the shock piston, it allow oil to properly fill the area under the shock and to keep them working smooth through the entire stroke. Due to the nature of 3D printing, items may contain tiny visual blemishes. Items may require some trimming and painting for optimal visual appeal/fit; similar to what you would expect to do with model parts. IMPORTANT: Do not use power drivers on 3D printed parts. Over tightening printed parts and cause premature cracking and crushing. Always ensure you hardware will not bottom out in the screw pocket. This can also cause at 3D printed part to break prematurely. Printed Parts - These parts will be printed in Black (Unless otherwise requested) using advances slicing methods for maximum strength. All 3D printed parts come with a lifetime replacement guarantee. If you break a part, simply send us a photo and your order number. The photo is simply to evaluate for common issues and help identify potential improvements to existing designs. Contact us @ [email protected] or PM us @ Spare-Time Hobbies on Face Book.
