Typhon Typhon with Limitless shocks and towers

[revosmash]

Is there any benefit to running them front and rear? I'm in the process of building a swb street basher. GT body with spool center diff.

Reduced suspension travel. Stiffer all around. Overall better suited for on-road / GT style running than the original Typhon suspension.

I read a lot of posts where the left the stock shocks on the rear for speed runs. I looking for more on road handling, and speeds less then 80mph.

It's all personal preference. Some people don't run shocks for speed running, some run with the front or rear locked out. I don't believe that will bode very well for you if you are interested in running a GT style Typhon conversion. And don't forget the aesthetic aspect!

Shameless photo op in 3..

We use the shorter towers and shocks to lower the body height. If your body doesn’t need that, don’t bother.

Omg lol how did you get the Stang' body on there? Or you just put it on for photo? I don't even see any body clips lol.

@Malice i would also love to know what you did to fit that body…..or other body ideas that would work

I 3-D printed some custom body mounts.. I'll get some pictures of them up tomorrow if you're interested.

I did it for the look, then converted it to lightning McQueen

I have 2 more, one to paint up like the ricky bobby ME car and one to keep around for a spare when Curt cuts me a legit chassis for it. This one is a little weak. Had to take 47mm out in front of the diff.

Did you convert shock towers or were they straight off a limitless and fit straight on?

This is good to know the rational behind running shorter shocks and tower - just the answer I was looking for
