Shock Question

[millzy]

Looking at the x6 set up on 2wdrc I’m happy to see that there is a losi AE and Koysho piston spring and Oil set up listed.

My question is regarding the shock length and shock compressed length- what point is this measured from? and also how are do you get a compressed length of 67.5 on the rear with AE shocks? do you need losi shock bottoms to achieve this

You see that on the news set up. Because I'm asking too.
And the E-speed high & E-speed low? What the difference?

Did i can use the new ellis stafford set up to running in indoor? It's not full moquette.

This new set up is very more easy to use with the photo, thanks

Mills: I have always measured hole centre to hole centre, does that compute?

Yes it dose- nice one-

what about the compressed lenght?? any ideas

[c0sie]

Hole centre to hole centre whilst fully compressed?

Need more coffee Millzy? :p

[millzy]

question was regards to my first post- as with the AE spindle ends im not 100% sure you can get the shock down to that number

I will check it over tonight and see if the spindle can go further up the thread.

I would have thought it would still be measured the same and would be using all Associated parts

[millzy]

sorry- ill try again

Do i need to fit a shorter neck spindle on the AE shocks as with a shorter shaft fitted and the spindel threaded to the max on the shaft the compressed lenght when messured as stated my Thubs is over the sugested set up sheet messurment of 67.5

I ask a good question because i was thinking the opposit.

About the shock i don't undustand every think. Could you do some photo to explain to me ...
Thanks

Bonjour Ben! Mon Francais is worse than votre Anglais, so we'll try this en Anglais. LOL

Pull the shock apart as far as it will go. Measure from the center of the top mounting hole to the center of the mounting hole at the end of the shaft. That is "shock length." Change it by changing the limiters inside the shock or screwing the end on, or off the shaft

Push the shock together as far as it will go and take the same center to center measurement. That is "compressed length." Change it by changing the outside limiters or screwing the end on, or off the shaft.

Je pense que c'aidez. (I think (hope) this will help.)

Thanks, but it's quite difficlut and i don't undustand.
I do a test with a tratucor but it's worse ...

Gotta love Chazz' fractured french :thumbsup:

Tiens, Ben :

étire l'amortisseur au maximum. Mesure du centre du point d'ancrage supérieur au centre du point d'ancrage inférieur : c'est le "shock length", la longueur d'amortisseur. A modifier par le nombre de rondelles à l'intérieur de l'amortisseur, ou en dévissant ou en vissant la rotule.

Compresse l'amortisseur au max et mesure de la même manière : c'est le "compressed length", la longueur compressée. A modifier avec des rondelles sur la tige, à l'extérieur de l'amorto.

;)

Merci, Raphael! "Fractured French" doesn't communicate very well, but it's lots of fun!

Thanks a lot gayo.

im all sorted ta

the Shock spindles where not AE and where 2mm longer hence why i couldn get it to compress to the number listed
