That chassis has a lot going on. It does look like a fun build.

I know some folks hate building shocks but I kind of enjoy it. It can get messy but when they are done it is a key part of the build and makes things run so much nicer! As always a excellent walk through of it!

Hi John verry nice step. See you later.

[@RCBirds]

Awesome build John. I really like this suspension design.

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

Thank goodness no ricocheting dreaded E-clips happened to shoot your eye out, and none got lost. That’s always a great start to a park of a build😂! ✅Shock tubes done! On to the next… awesome step by step my friend. You always do a fabulous tutorial! All the best to you and the family John!👊🏼😎✌🏼

[@HaydadRC]

Excellent work on the dampers there John! That’s exactly how I do those bugger e clips as well!👍😊

Hello,

[@sparetimerc]

Hey John, shocks let's you dial how you want the vehicle to handle. I enjoy exploring how to get it to drive smoothly, handle jumps. Only so much you can do but one of the parts you can control. Great build and instructions

[@rc-dom-uk]

very interesting build john 👍

[@FastFreddyRC]

Great stuff John! I'll enjoy seeing you install these on the truck.

[@RcNickster709]

Yup Nice work Bud. Really nice work on the shocks. :)

[@madmustangrc214]

John it is I again lol. I'm not sure why but I've never been a fan of building shocks. Guess what I have to rebuild shocks soon lol. Build looks like it is coming along well getting very close now. Hope you and the family are doing well. Cheers mate.
