Fireteam Fireteam longest travel 6s?

[chilly81]

Wondering what 6s 1/8-1/7 scale Arrma has the most suspension travel? Was looking a my Fireteam with pretty long shocks and sits with quite a bit of droop on fairly soft springs - pretty cushy and active. Anyone ever calculate or compare different models?

I’ve never done the math. I suspect the K6 line has the most, the fireteam shares the same geometry regarding shock towers though….so it’s probably the same.

The front Fireteam shocks are 2mm longer than the Kraton 6s shocks, rears are exactly the same.

Great question! I love me some suspension action!

I would have thought the Mojave has the most travel

The nero has the most travel and the stiffest shocks.

Why you gotta go and bring up the Nero?!?!?!?
Made me cry!

After you get the the lower 48 (a term that I hate) you should buy one (or 3)

I would love to! But I don't see that happening.

WHY?????????????????

Cause my wife agreed to a sxs so I highly doubt she'll approve a new RC at the moment.

That is funny, I had never heard of the Nero before a couple days ago. All I could think of when I saw it was this is only three years old? And then I predicted the future of my fire team… A three-year-old car no one has heard of. Period at least with Aamir 6S it doesn’t really… it’s just a bucket of parts

Yeah, there are so many variables involved. But I know I got the kraton and mojave 6s shocks to replace my 3s granite.... and the springs that came on those are about 1/2inch shorter than the springs on the stock fireteam shocks. I actually just threw those springs onto my stock shocks just to drop the ride height to play on the street. THey are pretty close to the right length, but would ideally be stiffer. The stiffer street car springs are too short to useunchanged.
