Mojave Grom: New Shocks! /Updates

[Soundislight]

Lets start with photos .

Just got the new shocks and street tires for Mr Mojave Jr.. lol.. they arrived with no glue and I didn't notice until I put them on and blasted it one time and all four tires came off the rims!! Lmao.. but the Shocks are RCAWD and they come with medium springs plus two additional sets of springs, one 20% softer and the other 30% harder. Plus they were at a great price. The tires came from islandHobbyNut.

They seem to be much better actually.. and they have a couple millimeters more travel

Just got my new steering control arms in from GPM

 

[Soundislight]

And now she's complete..

-GPM 7075 hub and knucks with oversized bearings, steering arms and servo arm.(all anodized Green)

-RCAWD 58mm CNC machined adjustable shocks(also green anodized, but not quite the same shade)
Skid plates front and rear (can't remember the brand)

-Running on 3s
Still waiting on some new street treads.. but just put on a new set of The stock Fortresses.

Also waiting on a Basher Skins "Sent it Monkey" and "carbon fiber" Chassis stick on protectors. I'll decide which one I'm going to use first when they arrive. The send it monkey is in vibrant green colors so I'm thinking it will match well with the theme . Lol..

That's it for now

 

[Soundislight]

Nope my bad.. I lied.. that wasn't all.. here she is with 30% stiffer springs.. and they are shiney .. lol.. because I'm trying to achieve something here. . .

 

[Soundislight]

Here is the send it monkey by Basher Skins.. I also changed back to my medium weight springs.. the heavy s were way to bouncy and made the vehicle flip a lot easier when turning.. so sticking with the mediums for now. Those tires are also new street tires and they are great.. Formulas

How did your shock change affect rollover in turns for you? On road it's not much of an issue, the outside tires slide before the inside wheels lift, but I'm curious if you saw a difference in high traction like grass or packed dirt vs. stock.

My issue is the outside tires are sticking really well and it makes the truck just start flipping when I turn much at all.. the stiffer springs made the effect even more pronounced.. was not that bad with the medium springs. So I switched back. But I also have a new set of street tires that just arrived.. And they are soft and sticky.. more or less.
