Hey guys!
I've been looking for ways to work with the HR shocks to get some droop/ lower center of gravity, deal with torque twist, and look cool.
I have been using the RC4WD spring set for 80mm internal shocks, which were great, but needed a shorter length for lower CG.
I wanted to share what I have figured out so far:
Picked up the shorter RC4WD spring set for 60mm internal shocks: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/273027230119
I then cut the original stock silver HR springs in half. Unscrewed the shaft cap and slid them down. They fit perfectly over the shock shaft and do not bind on the housing. This allowed me to run the shorter RC4WD "upper position" springs and take away the slop out of the lower position with the HR springs.
I've only run two 600mah 2s packs through this setup, and changed spring rates a few times with the included spring options. But I now have the lower stance I was after, and an improvement in climbing at my home course.
I'm running the black rated spring in the rear left, and the green rate springs the rest of the way around.
