I should also add that when it cracked, it was no fault of the chassis. The wrong screws got put into the holes where the top brace meets the front bulkhead and didn't actually tighten it up. So it just flexed back and forth for a bit and cracked.

I have a carbon chassis and AL side pods setting in my box but I have never run them. I picked it up lightly used. It is one of the red ones from Tresrey.

It has so much flex I cannot talk myself in to try it. my car is excellent the way it sits and I hate to change it.

I'll take pic of it tonight. I just used the same screws for the bottom of the shocks. The caps I just used shims to make it fit over the cap, #55 pistons, and stadium truck springs.

I have the mip bypass kit and the springs are shorter then the stock ones so it should be good.

The only way to get an angle onto a CF sheet is to cure it that way in the autoclave. This way the actual fiber sheets are in that position and the resin soaks through so it cures with the angle. Once CF is cured you cannot alter its shape.

Keep us posted on now it goes and what setups work....I'm definitely doing this!

Looks good. I don't think you would really even notice them being different. What are the scte shocks 13mm? Just different longer strokes I would assume.

I'm not sure exactly but they are definitely larger in diameter and length equaling more volume and stroke. So I can run lighter oil and still have plenty of dampening without any issue.

Durango bb shocks are 12.5 mm, unless the desc are larger than the dex. Scte are 12mm. Haven't opened up my dex410 shocks yet.

Pretty sure SCTE are 13mm... And all the 1/10 TD cars/Trucks are the same bore.

here are a couple of shots of the Durango shocks compared to the SCTE shocks.

Tekno are 16mm.
The scte shocks sure look bigger from the outside, but the only thing that matters is the inside bore diameter.
