Shock Mounting Positions
Shock Down Stroke
Shock Oil
Moving the shocks in on the tower makes
the truck more forgiving. Moving the shocks
out on the tower makes the truck more
responsive and better for technical tracks.
Lighter shock fluid responds quicker and
creates more chassis roll. Heavier shock fluid
reacts slower and creates less chassis roll.
On high traction/smooth tracks, heavier oil
is easier. Adjust shock oil weight when there
is a drastic temperature change. Use lighter
oil as it gets colder and heavier oil as it gets
warmer.
Please measure truck’s down stroke after
fixing shocks. Down stroke is the part between
the center of shocks top and bottom screws.
More down stroke on front suspension
increases steering which make rear truck
more rotation while increasing more gas.
More down stroke on rear increases off-power
steering which make front truck more rotation
while giving gas. More down stroke on the
Front and Rear will increase more speed on
the bumpy ground. But truck may happen
rolling over when it turns. Less down stroke on
the Front and Rear maybe lose better tracking
, but it will behave better while turning, which
is more suitable for high-speed track.

Sway Bars
The LT is equipped with medium (3.5mm)
sway bars on the front and rear. A thinner front
sway bar increases front off-power traction,
but has less on-power steering. A thinner rear
sway bar increases off-power traction with
smoother steering. Entering the turn, but have
more on-power steering. A thinner rear sway
bar increases rear traction and decreases
on-power steering. A thicker rear sway bar
increases stability in turns and on-power
steering. Thicker sway bars are more stable
on high-speed, high-traction tracks.
