i have a revo 3.3 and i jump more than anything, but when i try medium to large jumps i often break my shock "hinge" (the round part holding the shock to the frame) i have p2's on all corners and purple springs on back and i think greens on front, the back gives me more problems more than anything, what can i get/do to stop this? thanks

did you move the push-rods in on the control arm to give you a higher ride height? ive never broken any suspension part jumping, and i jump like 15feet in the air and land flat sometimes.

lol its your spring...u cant have purple in the rear with green in front...the purple barly gives at all and green give much more compared to that. try silver and green...what shock oil are u using also? you'll want to go 60wt or plus with this kind of set up.

Psst...I have a secret to tell you all......It's in the manual....don't tell anyone it'll be our secret

rawiswar

PSST.... i aint got the manual my revo is used

also the chart on the net its confusing the more lbs the stiffer the spring?

ok so green stiffer than white yes? what about blue?


thank you

use the blue rear and green front. make sure u up your shock wt or the springs are useless.

rawiswar

ok thank you i was thinking of putting 70w rear and 60w front

sounds good to me

i use 60 all around and it works great with silver in rear(little lighter than blue) and tan in front (heavier than green)

ttoks

i mainly jump running blue in rear silver in front with 60 wt oil on the stock rockers (p2 i think) with no pre load on the springs, works well.

ok is the preload that little blue thing on the shock shaft if so what does it do exaclty and should i take it off for jumping


thank you

ttoks

you can add pre load by turning the little black ring thats around the shock body clockwise, i run so there is no slack in the shock (so when you lift you truck off the ground there is no gap between the shock spring and wehre it seat on the shock body), but no extra tension on the shocks when there is no load on the suspension

ok thank you

you could also add 1/4 inch long pieces of fuel tubing to your shock shafts. i use golden horizon aluminum shock ends. make sure to put some loctite on the threads.i need to

rawiswar

you cant put locktie on plastic threads and that is what the preload is on the shocks
