that would be cool, they should fit ok then
2 wheels done now and carbon fibre shell. i think it looks better than the white

That looks awesome dude.
Great choice to do the wheels in black. Very slick with the carbon combo.

And Louisbaby's parts got delivered today!
He sent a big bunch. So much that I'll have to sorten it out a bit.
But I've alraedy seen oil seals, springs and more shocks for you!

oh my god, i cant thank you both enough
the carbon fibre is awesome.

That does look super awesome dude.

i am having a SHOCKING time
managed to get the rear shocks to fit, i bought some mini ball joints for the bottom which helped. they are not bolted up tight yet as i still need the oojameflips for the bottom of the springs to sit on.
trouble is now, neither the hopper or the hornet body will fit on without gouging loads of plastic out of them. which i dont really want to do.
plus there seems to be a lot of strain on the top mounts because of the angle which would surely result in premature breaking with heavy off road use.
i am stuck now as to what to do, any ideas anyone apart from stick with the original shocks?

Could you show some more details?
Like what you used on the top of the shock and maybe a picture of where the body lacks room to fit...

i am using the hornet shock extension mounts on the top
i think i may have found a solution
the shocks will fit on the inside of the adaptors at the bottom, which lines them up better, and if i remove the hornet top mounts and bolt the top of the shocks on the normal hopper mounts it should be ok......watch this space.......

looks better, shocks are more of a decent angle but now the left shock (looking from the rear) is hitting the gearbox. i give up. i guess i will have to stay with the standard shocks on the rear

I'm thinking of a 'normal' mounting at the lower end and a small bracket at the top to lower the shocks a bit (for the body) and with which you can also create some extra offset so the shocks line up better...
