db, I may be wrong, but I think "Shock Pack" referes to when you rebuild shocks. When you cap the shocks, and compress the shock, it has a rebound, even without a spring. After building shocks, I usually push the shaft all the way in, and let it rebound on its own. I then do this with the other shock. Check to see if they have the same rebound. I usually try to get it to where all 4 rebound about tthe same, but most importantly, that the Left and Right match.
If I'm wrong about this, I hope someone clarifies.....

You guys let you shocks rebound alot of just alittle ? I think if they rebound too much, theres too much fluid in the shock. I get them where they rebound just a slight bit and then throw them on this Losi shock matcher thing I got =P

On longer shocks, I try to keep the rebound to around 3/8", on the Revo shocks, I try to keep it under 1/4".

You guys rule, I'm smilin' ear to ear!  So pack = shock rebound. Out of my leauge for now as far as how it impacts a set-up, but maybe later. . . :joy:

I guess now is as good as later.... lol
If you have too much shock oil in the shocks, it will rebound too much. What this will do, is in a sense, make your shocks harder to compress. If you use 50 wt oil, it will seem like you are using a thicker oil, and have a stiffer feel. If you have too little oil in the shocks, it will not rebound at all, and seem a little too plush.

Sorry to hear about that quickturn. I am going to try one tho' 'cause it approximates the handling of some old 4wd electric buggies I used to run (Yokomos), only for my Revo. I really want to try a center diff tho', waiting to see who comes out with the first good kit. Anyway, thanks for the set up info. I'll try it out.. Later - DaveB :joy:

I will probably pick up a set when the LHS gets them. Good thing I will be getting a job at my bike shop too. That will support my biking expenses. Then Trader Joes will pay for college/RC/real car.
