Shock angles .

Post by Dozoor »

Thought i might open this up for some of your ideas and reasons .
The best spot for the shocks , these are valved for a GQ , so i should be able to mount on a 25 deg slope and still have decent damping as the thing will be only 50% of a Gq wieght . HOPE x Fingers ect! :roll:

id say mount it the first way if
the tire when stuffed up dosent rub on it (if you get what i mean)

also there should be less binding in shock eyes (i think :neutral: )

I am running 80 series rear shocks on the back of my Zuk at a similar angle to your second shot .. Its stays nice and "tight" at speed (helps with keeping the zuk a bit stable in corners" and still seems to flex quite OK at crawling speeds ..
