I have the Hot Racing ball kit so I used those and some heatshrink tubing to take up some of the slack. They are sloppy so I'm definitely on the hunt for a better solution. For the lower I used the balljoint that comes in the shock and a couple 0.5mm nylon washers to add a tiny bit of space so the springs clear the driveshaft.
I wouldn't run Kraton 6s shocks in your widened BRCC. Too stiff. The only think your Kraton 4s has in common with the 6s version is a similar shaped body and the sh!tty V3 tires albeit smaller. That's it. It's much closer to a BRCC.
Well what shocks would be a good idea to use
There are different sizes in the 6S lineup. The Typhon 6S shocks are a close match, but I am beginning to wonder if the rear shock rods are long enough. Looking at my 4S Kraton with Typhon 6S shocks, it seems the shock rod is limiting the range of the rear arms. They are level to the ground and will drop a little further if I unscrew the shock bottom end.
Do you have the stock shocks? Measure them and then measure the 6s Typhon shocks.
I never bought the stock 4S shocks, as my frankenarrma was a Granite Mega to begin with and then a Granite 3S, now a Kraton 4S. Not much remains from the Mega or 3S Granite rigs tho. Went from Mega shocks to Typhon 6S shocks in the last Granite 3S version.
Well are the springs compatible with the 4s?
Why would you want to run springs meant for an almost 11lb truck in an 8lb truck?
No im saying can the 4s spring fit on the 6s shock
I think you could.
50wt in my brcc. Similar ebay shocks but I think weight of fluid doesn't exactly depend on specific shocks as long as they fit.
Whoa dude, you're 3s shocks look like they had one too many tacosLOL! Dude, please read my above comments. Having the 110mm shocks front/rear was temporary until the set from China arrived. Plus, I have two other cars that can use the extra 110mm. I also posted a video where I talk about the shocks both being 110mm etc.
As it turns out, the full set with the white springs arrived today and I've already posted pics of them to the forum earlier. I've also already filmed videos ramping with the 'correct' lengths so I will combine and upload them to YouTube and in-turn the forum. It turns out the rear actually measured 127mm eye-to-eye, which makes them nearly identical to the Arrma "Big Bore" shocks in length, as opposed to the advertised 132mm.
I will upload that vid with the white shocks after I have a ?
Cheers!
Its just so funny getting a hard time over the two 110mm shocks front/rear after I emphasize that point several times in my video. Yes, I know! LOL!
My 3s shocks on the BRCC were leaking out of the box pretty much. I went with the Typhon shocks and have been happy since.
