I melted my dbxl ?

That's pretty much what my stock plastic arms looked like after the static preload from the DDM HD springs bent them. My rigs aren't left outdoors either. Once you remove them, they should bend back into shape on it's own. They just aren't up to the job of that big heavy buggy. I binned them and went full alloy on the arms. It seems like it's the only way. The next weakest link becomes the ball links, even the upgraded ones will bend in a tumble which is fine, as something has to give and the ball link ends are replaceable. I've bent a couple now.

Mtxl sits on a milk crate. Ill have to come up with a way to set the DBXL in the bed of the truck off the wheels. That RC doesn't get storred until the snow falls.

Heat is a different beast ,you may have to make some kind of jig stand to bolt down in the bed of your truck ,also some
kind of shade ,as the heat an sun isnt good on your fuel system!

If you stick a plastic bottle out in the hot sun ,it will collect moister!
 
I've also read contradicting statements where people said not to leave your suspension unloaded. Having the shock's piston rods fully extended damages the seals and causes leaks. Any truth to this? I guess the droop screws would prevent this from happening, but that in itself is a form of preload. So when you guys say unloaded, do you mean with no droop screws either?

I let mine rest on the droop screw or limiting straps.
 
Ive kept a rc in the bed of my truck for quite a long time and it was never a issue until we started this run of heat. I don't let direct sunlight hit it. I have a heavy moving blanket I fold over it. Really all I need to do is make sure I take it out when its gonna be cooking hot for awhile. Usually summer is mild here with the ocean so close. Just thought it was funny my rc developed a droopy ass??‍♂️?

Nah, Bubba kush from Maine. Guy I know goes up often to see his daughter. So I get a OZ of something delicious. Only $200 to, a great price considering its 300-400 in CT. Usually closer to 400. My crop got baked out. Its been unnaturally hot here for weeks with almost no rain. My water source went dry a week ago. Total loss? stupid fekkin global warming. Stop driving or staying warm you pricks.????

Yep ain’t no way I’m paying $400 a O ???‍♂️
I barter a lot with my connect which works out great for me. I couldn’t imagine spending close to 1k a month in marijuana

A oz lasts me 2 or 3 months, sometimes more. I do take edibles too but not a lot. You're smoking dope like I smoke cigarettes ?????

I set my db on a radio box, the wheels just so touch the shelf, plus there's bottom out screws as well. And with the 5ive t shocks you don't need the heavy preload like the db factory shocks.
