Ten scbe converted to 6s, need shock recomdations

Post by Partsbreaker »

Have a losi scbe thats been converted to 6s.

I'm looking for shocks that will help keep it planted cause its a wheelie machine.
Current shocks
Current shocks
But then I threw these on the back with the sagging fronts

With that set up it did tame the wheelies down but if you hit the brakes at all in a wheelie it slams the front end on the ground.

So I re oiled the shocks, probably not correctly, got the front stiffer but will still slam the ground some times. But I don't feel I got the backs good enough and even with the springs in the lowest position the rear still kinda sags.

So this came to mind

I'm new to the hobby so excuse any of my ignorance.

Is there a shock that will keep the rear stiff and for the front, have a bit of sag but limited drop so it won't slam the front end down?

Looked at these but I have no idea

I would look at the Losi 8ight buggy shocks. I haven't looked but the length of the shocks should be the same or very close.

I need to shock positing holes on rear to try and get some of the sag out but for turning, it became a lot harder to roll the car, it now handles pretty well.
It tamed the wheelies down some but I think ill just have to learn to drive thru it 😂😒

New question, I think I blew the rear diff bouncing around in the yard. Holding both rear tires, then turning one, it dosent try to turn the driveshaft out put.
Thinking the gears in the rear end broke.

Is there better gears to get and really any information about rebuilds and what gears to look into would be nice

Bearing came loose on gear in rear diff, gear walked around and chewed up the case.

New bearing and case, problem solved.

It may have gotten really hot in that gear box, have you tried a wheelie bar to keep her nose down?

Started having more diff issues, it kept clicking bad under breaking.

The spur gear had slop to it. Took the center diff out and both outputs would wiggle around.

Opened up the diff, diddnt see any chipped teeth but it did seem low on grease.

Ordered 3 sets of hd diff housings, gears, 7k 5k and 3k oil, lightened outputs.

Maybe that will resolve those problems.

Did get a little speed run in, only had it pined for a brief second and hit 58.
