I've only run lunsford on a few things, but never bent or broke one. My Losi Aftershock liked snapping tie-rods frequently and the RPM upper arms were a 2 piece with turnbuckle that liked to snap. I went through 6 or 8 stock sets before switching to lusnford and never broke one again. Just had to swap the sloppy ends out every year or so.
I send my E Revo way higher than its ever meant to be so I wouldn’t be surprised if I break a few. The warrenty is why I’m going Lunsford
Would be nice if they made shock shafts, shock rod ends and shock pistons.I send my E Revo way higher than its ever meant to be so I wouldn’t be surprised if I break a few. The warrenty is why I’m going Lunsford
Damn dude, sorry the older ones have you thinking that way. I haven’t had a single issue with any rod ends after throwing limiting straps on the rear. Never been through a shock piston or rod either, just the ends... but like I said, straps fixed that.Would be nice if they made shock shafts, shock rod ends and shock pistons.
After having revos for many years, I've succumbed to the fact that they can't be aired out without consequences. At least onto a flat surface. They do ok when your come down on a falling slope, but things tend to explode when the come down from 15' onto a flat surface.
Surprising you haven't had shock issues as they were unchanged in the v2. Then again, if you stick with "normal" oil weights, you may not have issues. For a long time, I was trying to avoid bottoming out so hard. Setting the shocks up to do that means running heavy oil and stiff springs, which then means busted shafts and pistons and ends.
I don’t run dramatic shock weight, maybe 20 over stock. I have almost 300 runs on the truck, stock pistons and all. And I run the wide track Trencher x’s, very heavy.
Yeah, I was running VDK #2 and 80-90wt with purple springs. Kept breaking the pistons. Think I'm at 60 or 70 now in my big block, lighter in my small block and ERBEv1.
Interesting. You know how the 2.0 shocks are slightly different than the 1.0s? Like how the 1.0 has the coated shafts and stuff? Maybe internally the 2.0 shocks are a little different and hold up better... just speculating, I have no idea. All I know is my shocks have held up great.
Guess I’m lucky lol.
Damn dude, so those rcs cages really are good pretty jealous right about now lol.
It broke after a few bends... it did fine when landing on the roof flat, but when you lawn darted on the rear or the front, it would kink/bend the long front to back pieces. Then after you did that a couple times and flattened them out, they would crack at the notch where they keyed into the sideways pieces.
