Personally I think it'd be more trouble than its worth having all of those adjustments, so much time worrying about the settings rather than just racing.
I remember spending a whole week setting up the shock on my old Orange, was madness, so many settings! rebound, HS comp, LS comp, bottom out, platform pressure. No need just stressed about it all the time!

When I got the SX Trail, i just set the rebound, and the propedal in the street and went riding, so much happier!

I'm not sure how effective those adjustments would be with an RC, with such small volumes, low weight and lower forces.

Would be interesting though to see some shocks made. Expensive but interesting.

As for internals, i think Fox Shox have some cutaways on the shocks with annotations on their site.

Yeah i think 8th scale i could see it being more important, and i agree with you about over the top and time consuming but if there's an advantage to be had you know people would be happy to spend the time getting them right - even now they play around with it enough
