Hi guys, per the thread title I'm converting my 1:18 MRC into a 1:10 scaler. While I do have 1:10 shocks and springs lying around from a larger model, I'd really like to keep the more scale size of the MRC shock bodies.
I'm already running an after market set with stiffer springs than the 'firm' set you can buy from Losi (though I bought those anyway just in case they were better) but after test driving, the springs just aren't cutting it.
I need probably some coils with a larger wire diameter with the same overall dimensions. Are there any products on the market that might work for me here, or any fabricating tricks you can recommend I can try?
I'd like to avoid using the larger Axial set I have here on account of keeping more scale looks, but I may have to change to them if I can't find a solution here - the truck is undriveable in its current form. It weighs 2.5kg on account of its steel chassis and beefy winch & cable. Pics of front and rear below for reference. Thanks!
