Durango shocks K1 style

[OneKiwi]

Has anyone tried this? Having the big bore springs on the small bore shocks?

Yep, I have tried it.

I ran them on my 410. Feels just the same as the small shocks.
But there is no fowling on the body at all.

And the springs feel more consistent.

I have also run them on my C4.1 again not a huge difference for me.

Running the same on all DEX410`s in the family.
Can`t say I feel any difference either, but atleast the color on the springs stay the same, black.

Thanks guys.

What were you using for spring retainers and preload rings?

[coleman758]

Im using some home made collars.

Avid do a nice set of alloy ones. At first I used the standard big bore collars.
they just sit in front of the small collars, The only issue is it effectively makes you springs a little longer.

Again use the shock bottoms & ball ends off the big bores.

Thanks
I got this PMed to me (thanks Arn0) as well so I have now ordered the traxxas parts and will use the original BB retainers or the new exotek ones

Real happy I checked, the original TD BB stuff fits the SB shocks no problem
