I also ordered the ZD racing shocks, to install them on my Typhon 3S.
I am a little bit confused. Obviously, they are a little bit to long, which can be solved by inserting some spacers inside the shock.
But on the other hand, I read people saying that the droop should not be determined by the maximum travel of the shock, but by for example droop screws. (But the 3S line does not have this)
Having the end of the travel being determined by the shock, means that the piston will slam into this end stop / spacer every time the wheel unloads, which would damage the piston.
And then I read people here saying that the pistons failed on the first run. Is that due to this?
If I don't shorten them, the maximum extension is probably determined by the length of the steering and camber links, not sure whether that would be any better...
