Hey mate, I run Diggity shock towers which are just a copy of the stock tower so if your running a wing your best bet would be to go back to stock tower on the rear and then you will have no problems

If I keep my 18T, I probably will go with different shocks.
thanks man. another question on your shocks though, when i look to order the yokomo bd low frictions, i can only find sets of two and they don't differentiate between front and back, so are they both the same length?
Nah mate they just literally bolt on! But you do need to use the outer holes on both arms and if the inner hole on your front tower and if possible the inner hole on your rear arms, i have mine on the outer of the rear tower but due to running a wing i do not need run rear body clips when you do put the body on it will fit a little bit tight but it will not bind or anything so you just have to push a little harder to get it on

Yeah mate with touring car shocks they are same front and rear so no worries there, also see my above post on how to mount them correctly

has anyone ever used mini LST shocks before. I don't know if they're too long or not but they seem like they would be nice cause of the bigger bore. the touring shocks are a really good idea though.
Hey mate, they are a bit long IMO as they would not shrink down to get a decent ride height just sit way to high but having said that i have never tried them only a guess

You can easily reduce the ride height of a shock by adding internal travel limiters and if the springs are too tight then you just cut some coils off the springs. The only issue if you do that is to make sure that the chassis still bottoms out before the shock does otherwise you will put a lot of stress on your shock towers and shocks everytime you land a jump.
Or you could just save yourself time and buy touring car shocks as the tutorial says

That i do have time for LOLBasicly the ONLY things stock on this car are - diffs- gear boxes- motor mount- center drive shaftThe up-grade parts are- Yokomo shocks obviously - Diggity designs chassis (BEST CHASSIS EVER!)- Diggity shock towers- Driven Prduction arms- MONO-tuning wide CVDs- 3 racing hubs, c-hubs, rear hubs and servo saver- mounted a HS81MG servo- mamba 8000kv brushless- Spectrum micro reciver- 3 racing turn buckles- Hobao hyper 10 wheels hexes- 3 racing rear wing - Nosram 7 cell battery- GRP foam tires on Mugen wheels- Losi mini-LST pinion (due to such small tires size and such long straights)- 3racing wheel nuts LOLThats about all i can think of right now, if you need any links or what not give me a PM with your e-mail address and ill send the links to you
Hey Rhys: Thanks for the props.. Those shocks look like a great upgrade!
