Clodbusterfan 21 Posted February 15, 2021 Heres a picture of my Super Clod Buster... Are the shocks on at a good angle or should they be more up and down? Thanks for your time! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MICHAELs TopForce17 586 Posted February 15, 2021 Angle looks ok to me. Awesome looking clod let me know how the shocks perform. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clodbusterfan 21 Posted February 16, 2021 Thanks buddy! Just waiting for snow to melt and parking lot to be dry. I am hoping it jumps better on the speed bumps in the parking lot with the new shock positioning. Its brushless with 2, 4000kv motors. Really fast for a Clod!

roog-909 0 Posted February 17, 2021 The more you angle your shocks the more travel you achieve and with that a slower response. With that setup; try different spring rates and viscosity of the dampening oil, the unsprung weight of a clod is so huge that lower rate spring results in better traction, you compromise handling jumps etc though. Mounting your shocks vertically gives a shorter travel, that’s why it bounces all over the place. Which is most of the fun with a clod buster in my opinion. Your clod looks good! Nice to see a CPE chassis! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clodbusterfan 21 Posted February 17, 2021 Thanks! Love my Time Warp CPE chassis! But, with my 4000kv motors I want it to land better because its going so fast it flips over easily. I like the bouncing too actually but would rather have it not break on me. So the softer springs will compromise jumping? That sucks because I love jumping my Clod off of speed bumps in a parking lot. I had some stiffer shocks on it but haven't run my Clod with these new softer shocks because it keeps snowing and I dont want to get my Clod wet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
