Buy some rear dunerunner shocktowers they are wider and open on the top. That will allow ya to run a good rear exit pipe if ya want. Get a good ported motor, 27.2cc or higher. I wouldnt go any lower in displacement just because of the weight.

may i ask why you need to do that to your shocks?


what is the benefit of having them straight like that?


arent they a bit more exposed at that position

Moving shocks more vertical makes them more responsive and feel like they have thinner oil-softer.


Laying them down more horizontal makes them feel kindaprogressive and less responsive, and feel like they have thicker oil-harder.


Changing the postion of shocks is a great way of changing the feel/response w/o changin the oil.

How about covering it in fur to look like an animal? It sounds dumb but it worked for the Mutt Van in dumb and dumber. If Im dumb for liking it then so be it but I thought that was cool. Almost as cool as the Oscar meyer weiner mobile.................

I had initially planned on doing that to my Rampage for the Powerjam last June. I was gonna cover the body in neon blue fur, add a blue pig nose, piggy ears and tail to boot! Unfortunately, lack of funds stopped me from doing it. :(
