Free suspension upgrade
 

Im not sure if this has been posted before but i was noticing how sad the stock springs are on the xmod and i didnt want to pay all that money for the radio shack upgrade,, I decided to just modify the stock springs:

Here is what you do:

Remove the springs, then just pull on them a bit until they just about double their length,, then re install them,, much stiffer and the best part,, FREE!

Im sure after a while they may return to close to the origional stiffness but so far they work awsome

nice idea , sportracguy , i might aswell try that , as i dont want the full suspension i just want stiffer springs in the back ,
cheers man u helped :P

Thanx alot...I've been thinking of buying the kit from RS for stiffer shox in the rear, but now don't have to!! You just saved me some money man! THANX

not a problem, i figured i would save someone some money,, that radio shack suspension upgrade is way over priced for some cheap springs and a couple of different colored shocks in my opinion

i actually did that ages ago. WOW, what a difference!

duh
 

doing that will make your back wheels go like this \ /

Re: duh
 

The RS upgraded springs do that too.

just don't stretch them to much.

hmmm, i should try that

I stretched my spring when I did the monoshock upgrade.

if you guys if you guys have braces or a friend with them and have the right size rubberband things.. you can slip them on the upper part of your shocks so your springs push into them. they compress the spring more.

the rubber might also absorb vibration and shock? probably not a significant amount though.

haha...RS springs R better anyday



and they dont cost much at all!!!!!!!!!!
