Shocks are way to solid , definitely taking off the springs of one set , no choice there I don't think , but I'll run it first to see
Oh I will be showing that off to the point of annoyance ?????

For sure on the shocks. Running only springs on the primary shock and no springs on the secondary is the way to go IMO. Truck soaks up jumps great and rebounds well.

The engine mount should come from your stock engine if I remember correct. You reuse it. Is it the primary engine mount at the bottom you are talking about? The part at 3:49 in the video is what I am referring too.

No , it's the piece that screws to the long piece to offset the connection , there's a L shaped and the one I'm talking about , there's sposed to be two pieces I got only one

Just didn't get how the dual shocks fits with the wheelie bar brackets , I put on the dual shocks before the wheelie bar , so it wouldn't fit , I e mailed primal RC to get some pictures of the mounting , they weren't with dual shocks , so I was still on my own , so I put the bracket behind the shock standoff , put the stand off through the bracket then the chassis worked perfect , I to old Allen at primal what I did , he said that will work and is also a first he heard of , the shock is sposed to vo above the bracket in another hole ? but here's what I ended up with , after poop hung out the big Allan head screws for flatter screws so it wouldn't rub on the shock spring ,and it brings the shock out further from the bracket that way

Looking good! Yeah some people run the second shock in that top hole. They use the shock mount as the screw that goes through the frame plate and into the chassis cross brace. I felt like it positioned it too high in my opinion...so my shock is mounted like yours. I could see if you were running springs on the second shock the reasoning for going to the top hole...but not gor when its just acting as a dampener without springs.
