general revo discussion

db, I may be wrong, but I think "Shock Pack" referes to when you rebuild shocks. When you cap the shocks, and compress the shock, it has a rebound, even without a spring. After building shocks, I usually push the shaft all the way in, and let it rebound on its own. I then do this with the other shock. Check to see if they have the same rebound. I usually try to get it to where all 4 rebound about tthe same, but most importantly, that the Left and Right match.

If I'm wrong about this, I hope someone clarifies.....

You guys let you shocks rebound alot of just alittle ? I think if they rebound too much, theres too much fluid in the shock. I get them where they rebound just a slight bit and then throw them on this Losi shock matcher thing I got =P

On longer shocks, I try to keep the rebound to around 3/8", on the Revo shocks, I try to keep it under 1/4".

You guys rule, I'm smilin' ear to ear! So pack = shock rebound. Out of my leauge for now as far as how it impacts a set-up, but maybe later. . .

I guess now is as good as later.... lol

If you have too much shock oil in the shocks, it will rebound too much. What this will do, is in a sense, make your shocks harder to compress. If you use 50 wt oil, it will seem like you are using a thicker oil, and have a stiffer feel. If you have too little oil in the shocks, it will not rebound at all, and seem a little too plush.

Theres a bleed hole on the revo shocks so if there is to much it will adjust itself

Setup im going to be using

diff fluids 30k front 10k rear losing the rd quick turn also im not likeing it so much.

Sorry to hear about that quickturn. I am going to try one tho' 'cause it approximates the handling of some old 4wd electric buggies I used to run (Yokomos), only for my Revo. I really want to try a center diff tho', waiting to see who comes out with the first good kit. Anyway, thanks for the set up info. I'll try it out.. Later - DaveB
