Hi...
Argh!! Oh well this would have happened anyway i guess.
Long story, but I will spare you. subj. says it all. :yes:
I finally recieved all my replacement parts from the USA and the UK (I live in Denmark and no LHS seems to even know the T-Maxx)
I broke the right front upper and lower A-Arms, front left bulkhead and suspension pin....and thats it (or so I thought)
I then ordered a complete RPM Wide A-Arms for all 4 corners. i've read so many good things inhere about them. And Man are they looking strong...:ahh:
Well I replaced all the broken stuff and installed the RPM parts.. Pheew. Replacing a bulkhead takes quite long time. for me anyway. I've never worked on R/C's before, but it's not that hard. Just took me long time. But I liked fiddling with it.
Now thats where I found out that one of my shocks are bend. Actually quite noticably. I don't know how i could have missed out on this when inspecting the damage to my 2.5..:no_commen
I do not want to buy stock shocks. I did a search inhere for shocks and i read quite some threads. It seems like AE, Dynamite, BB and Powerline are the most popular ones.
I did a search on Tower and found these from HotBodies http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXANU0&P=7
Will they do any good. I like the finger ajustment feature.
Please give me your thoughts on what to buy. I don't want to rebuild them all the time either. I only do mild bashing, WOT on hard surfaces. No racing or competition.
Suggestions on shock combinations are welcome. Can I simply buy 4 new shocks and use them together with 4 stock. Spring resommendations and so on.. blah blah.. I'll stop now.. :sniper:
