DBXL suspension question

[nic329]

Hello

I am still very new to the hobby and I just got my dbxl right before Christmas and have not had a lot of time to run it....but I had it out this past weekend and I noticed that the back of buggy does a lot of bouncing over the ground.....is there anything I can do to keep it more stable, and not bounce so much in the rear?

Any suggestions are appreciated.....

Are you still running stock wheels/tires?

 

[nic329]

no....I got some nice knobby tires with the nice firm blue foam in them....much much nicer then the stock tires

Stock dbxl shocks are very slow to rebound and can't react fast enough to soak up the next bump. I've changed to 5ive T shocks. The pistons inside the shock are much more user friendly and you don't have to run diff oil in your shocks. Some owners have filled in the stock piston holes and drilled smaller holes so they can use a much thinner shock oil. I run 40wt oil on all four corners.

Hi Marky,
Thanks for your reply....if I decide to buy 5T shocks, do I want to buy 4, 5T front shocks?...or should I get 2, front and 2, rear 5T shocks?
Also if I go buy 4, 5T front shocks then all I need to do is replace the oil with 40wt in all four?

For DBXL you need fronts only from a 5ive the rears are to long for it
