my custom shocks that i made

[Paul]

went down to the hobby shop today and got some 1:8 scale shock and custom made them to fit my slash

they are supposed to look like the new proline protrac shock

they work great and should make my slash's handling much better

here is some pics

[Paul]

they're a copy of the Proline Powerstrokes ,one of the best shocks around .I had them on my Emaxx.
Where did you get them from CP??

great job...they look like they were ment for the slush

[Paul]

i custom made them out of 1:8 scale shocks and the original shock that came on the truck. they are realy smooth. i cant wait to drive and test them

[Paul]

just abit of dremel, pliers, and afew other tools magic

Not bad mate, I did similar with some old Ofna shocks on my Slash

Drilled out the pistons a tad, put some limiters inside the shock body to reduce uptravel etc. With the stock springs it works well and fit up nicely.

[Paul]

it seems to be a realy good idea. hey nexx the only thing thats different id my have 2 lots of springs

[Paul]

got some more pics

[nexxus]

Yeah I found that unless you drop the height back to standard Slash height, it gets top heavy, so your Slash now probably sits really high compared to stock which is why you need the extra springs. But give it a bash, but I found it understeered a lot when set up the way you did it.

[Paul]

yeh well i aint got any tyres to go and test them. im hopefully going to perth rc this weekend to get some slash tyres or something. i hope there is a pair ther for $22 coz thats all that i got

Proline Caliber SC's $24.50 Locally
Proline Bow-Tie SC's $22.20 Locally
