Lightning Stadium Pro shock question

[Bondonutz]

I was going to look in Hopmeup, glad you found them. Start off with 40wt oil. I can't remember if the red springs are extra firm or soft ? Check the HB website to varify. Get the black springs, they are a great general use spring especially with 35-40wt.

The shocks are a little bit of a PITA to rebuild entirely with that tiny clip on the bottom, dont temps yourself to short cut it, Replace everything included in kit. If you have any problems w/assembly refer to the build sheets on the HB site, everything you need is there.

Your temps will dictate weither moving up in gearing is OK, I'm not fimiliar with your ESC/Motor combo. If you decide on a new pinion The RCMonster has the BEST pinions on the market.

Hope it works well for you.

Well they only have 2 in stock so soon as I find 2 more I will order them and some oil and springs and do the rebuild. The motor and ESC do not even get warm geared with the 14t pinion :)

If the temps are as you say you could possibly gear up a tad with no reprocussions, IE Heat issues.
I'm not saying you have to have the springs. You want to retry the reds sinces the shocks with be as good as new after rebuilding them, they may suit you just fine ? I jsut have no idea how firm they are.

Good luck and report back/post when you have some results

A year later I orderd the rebuild kits. Now that I have taken the shock off not sure its blown. Had oil in it and didnt leak. THe front sags though. Need to stiffen them up some when I rebuild them.
