  1. Red shocks for the Bushy D thanks to @Aerobert
  2. Its all black now… I want some black Long Shocks for my CC02…
  3. Didn’t make it through. But feel better today. Onward!
  4. I do just like Alvin, but add a second tube of shrinkwrap over the entire plug when connected (over both ends). This helps keep it connected, but allows you to pull apart if needed. And it provides one more layer of protection for the wires.
  5. Wasnt there a DIY former project a couple years ago?
  6. Almost fully recovered from my Flu. Might be able to find the energy to build some shocks today…
  7. Kind of off topic, but mentioned above…. Are there are upgrades to the piston heads for the Short CVA II’s (50520 or others)??? From what I understand, there are piston heads available for the Mini CVA’s (50519), or rather some of the nicer ones also fit those dampers. Thanks and sorry!
  8. I started using Associated or off brand xrings to replace the orings. Action seems smoother, the initial stickiness of the cva is gone, and no leaks.
  9. As always im stunned by the creativity and ingenuity! Well done!
  10. https://tenor.com/bfaKz.gif used to stop bad threads on another forum I read…
  11. Everyone: People make mistakes. Let it go. Its not worth the struggle.
  12. Shock mods. An idea stolen from others… I bought some cheap pen springs on Amazon. 4mm OD x 10mm free length x 0.5mm wire. I also got some that are 0.3mm wire but they havent arrived yet. The intention was to increase the length of the piston rods and insert this spring internally to act as a Droop Spring. This will shorten the shock by 10mm at rest, but will allow for 5mm of extension. The idea is to prevent my CC02 axles from slamming down on the shocks when they fully extend. So far so good. With the long end, I get 84mm eye-to-eye. This can extend to 89mm. I ordered some #19894293 piston shafts. These are 3.6mm longer than the #19805917 that come standard in the CVA short shock II kits. This will help me get back some of the lost length. I will update… ETA - i should add a 0.1mm shim on the bottom end of the spring so the tail doesnt gouge into the internal plastic bottom of the shock body…
