Looks great

Good straight forward content.Awesome Channel

Good video, thank you

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Using fuel tubing is not the ideal way to lower your car. It DOES work but it will affect down travel (droop) and alter handling. Instead, experiment with shock spring length, stiffness and preload to get your ride height where you want it. Then you can use fuel tubing to change droop and adjust weight transfer, if you need to.

Hell ya

Looks good. Have you decided on a body yet?

[@jspeedrc]

👍 👍

[@jacobwhitt521]

What size fuel tubing?

[@ConditionZero76]

Do you know if Traxxas makes these springs in like all red color in the same stiffness?

[@RCMadnessHobby]

All of them are white

Must you use all front shocks ? Or is that your preference.
I can buy a set of 4 that are two front and two rear. I see the rears are longer than the fronts.

[@RCMadnessHobby]

Use the fronts because they are shorter. You could use rears just have to limit them more.

[@RichieCat4223]

@@RCMadnessHobby Thanks for your answer. I thought you could use the rears but had to ask. As far as the rear do you want the dog bones level ?

[@ConditionZero76]

@@RichieCat4223 not for a drag car, you want the shorter front shocks in the rear & front 👍🏼

All the fuel tubing I see has the tubing on the outside of the shock. Yours is inside? Is this a super secret way to hide this modification?

[@jeremyboyle5695]

Tube inside shock = limit down travel
Tube outside shock = limit up travel

[@jerryvolpini7987]

More importantly, limiting a shock internally will reduce down travel, or droop, and effect handling/weight transfer.
