TRX-4 shocks
Howdy,
I need some help with a TRX-4 and mounting the shocks different. I hear the term Flex. On the TRX-4 there is only one mounting position. I see ad-on mounts for other trucks, where you mount the top of the shock forward. Like 3 to 7 or so mounting holes. Does anyone make custom shock mounts for the TRX-4 that allow Flex?
Thank you and hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving.

I’ve bought aftermarket shock hoops on Amazon with more mounting holes. Unfortunately, my 3 TRX4 rigs just don’t have the amount of articulation as any of my other trucks. Either an aftermarket chassis (Scattergun, Negative G,etc) or longer shocks and links would likely help, but longer shocks/links would likely make the CG higher which could also be counterproductive. I’ve debated trying a LCG chassis on one of my Sports but have yet to pull the trigger.

Thank you so much for replying. I am came across these on Amazon. I'm getting them. Don't there is enough mounting holes and where the holes should be. But what the heck. Sorry for the picture size.
And thank you again.

Those are the same ones I got for one of mine. I got them to stiffen up the panhard mount, but haven’t messed around much with trying different mounting holes. Might try one of the LCG chassis options on one of my Sports but that wouldn’t be until summer since the cold weather has hit us. Let me know if those make any difference for you.

Flex is overrated anyway

I’ve had mine for around 2 years and they’re holding up great. I don’t go too hard on most of my rigs. This particular one was my first and I “send it” often and I beat it like a rented mule.
