Cyber10b rear shock mount on front.

[telboy]

After breaking 2 (only spares we had) front shock towers at the national last week on the cyber 10. My bro and I decided to look at modifying a rear mount to fit the front.
We did it quite simply by shaving a little plastic off of the triangular flat section, then it fits perfectly.

But, upon fitting these we noticed something cool.
We run (as most do) Losi springs, but when you do,the springs are longer than the HB ones and the shock collars on the front have to be all the way up to the top or else the ride height is to high if the pre load is wound down, giving you no or very little droop.
When you fit the rear towers on the front it lifts the shock up a little but then you can wind the preload down, giving you more room to play with regarding pre load, droop and ride height on the front.

Shaun found that it felt better this way too....and he didn't break another shock tower for the rest of the day.


Try it and see how it feels.

Hi telboy,

I myself have had exactly the same problem and came up with the same solution. Strange how people think a like.

I have been running my cyber now for several months and have had no issues and not broken a front shock since.
