TQ Shocks
Hey guys, I've installed a set of TQ shocks on my Kyosho ST-RR Truggy, but I'm having a problem with the front arms. To get them to a level position, I've had to adjust the pre-load collars all the way down and this just doesn't seem right to me. I'm using 50wt oil with the blue(hard) Jammin springs. Any ideas as to what might be wrong here??? I appreciate any help, thanks!!
The front TQ shocks are shorter then the Kyosho St-rr front Shocks. Kyosho MAKES THREE SIZES IN SHOCKS. Look at it this way small medium and large.
Kyosho buggys use small in the front and large in the back.Kyosho Truggy ST-RR use medium in the front and large in the back.Kyosho buggy front shocks are a bit smaller then the front TQ shocks. The Tq front shocks are a bit smaller then the ST-RR shocks.

Curt-- is this setup for a hard packed track? By your choice of springs I am assuming so. thanks

22 deg caster hubs middle hole on hub
second hole back on ackerman plate

Good to hear your liking the car. I presume your running/using the 09 cars, not the older car? The old buggy did not have a lot corner speed your had to be very cautious.
