I haven't really heard much talk about the shocks yet. In my wish list of parts to buy along with the e10 I was thinking some aluminum threaded shocks would be a nice addition since most I have seen come with pistons with different valving. Ones I was looking at were some for a wrath just dont know if the lenght would be right. Then some limiters in and mini t springs should be golden. Right?
Mmmmmm, yeahkindasortaright.
I'm working on something similar. Won't say what quite yet, but I promise very soon. I'm in the middle of working on a bunch of things between my E10 and SCX10 G6 Falken and want to get a few more bugs worked out before I post stuff. I don't want to post something that doesn't have a resolve.
That being said, if I may point out a couple of details of your plan above ...
- threaded shocks = okay, go for it, but if you're buying them to have adjustability on the spring rate you're wasting your money *IF* you want to run Mini-T springs. The Mini-T springs won't ride on the threaded adjuster on the shock. ..... EDIT - my bad, there are some shocks that will work
- threaded shocks - okay, go for it, but if you're buying them for adjustable damping i'd say give the stock units a try first with different weight oil. At least you can get an idea of what you might be after then. Heavier oil doesn't leak (as much).
Now, if you're DYING TO SPEND MONEY and make your truck look cool then please don't listen to me. :ror:
If you can wait just a few more days i'm
hoping to post what i'm working on this weekend (which, incidentally, will make me look like a big hypocrite because the shocks i'm using are threaded aluminum *shrug* I promise the threading is simply a side-effect of the "sheer and utter brilliance" of my finding :ror: ).
Ultimately, yes, upgrading the shocks isn't a bad idea, but there is a method and reasoning behind my madness. Always has been, always will be. :lmao:
