The rear shocks should be longer than the front ones, by about half an inch. Heres a pic of the stock str shocks and springs. The longer ones are rear and the shorter ones are the front.
The blue springs are the same size as the white ones. Im thinking you need diffrent shocks to fix the trouble your haven. If those are not the str shocks, ditch them and put the str shocks back on.

The problem for him though Nascar is that they are the standard shocks from his US Sports truggy (Not ST-R). I know what you are going through Wish, been there myself. You could try laying the shocks down more, move the bottom out to the outside hole, but it may not help much due to shock length. Get on ebay and try and find some st-r shocks, guaranteed they will help you no end. I got mine for about $30 US plus shipping.

Hm, dont have money now

Later will buy st-r shocks, but now will try to fix this problem as much as I can.
I've changed the front shocks with alu the same size as the stock shocks. Dont know what wt is the oil inside, but seems to be too thin.
I've put 2 spacers per shock and the spring is almost compleatly bend. I've tried different positions of the shocks, but the most "hard" is when they are on the inner holes. The differens in carrying capacity until hit the ground is almost with 1 kilogram more then when they are on outside holes.

My suspension now is the most hardest I can make with this configuration of springs/shocks.

That doesnt look that bad. Its going to hit harder over jumps but it should be stable without alot of recoil. Whats it like on the track?

Yeah, give it a go, most/all truggies do bottom out over jumps to a certain extent anyway, but I do know that the US sports is worse than most, good luck

I sure will, so far i replaced the gears in the front that i messed up. Got the steering rack, side plates, and engine mount brace on the new chassis. It was then that i realized that i have some cheap tools!(RD Logics) Its time i replace them with the hudys.

I just use crafsman allen wrenches, life time replacement if you bend or beak one. Nothing agains hudy stuff, I had a cheap "O" set of blue handled duratrax set. That was a waste of 100 + dollars.

You still going to do the proline st-rr body for me Nascar?

Did alil bit more tonite.

Has st-rr chrome moly gears, kingheadz rear brace, st-rr center rear shaft, st-rr wing mount that i already had. To me its an st-rr but what do you guys think? Will finish it up tomorrow, only reason i didnt do it tonight is because i striped a few screws on the radio assembly on the bottom and a few more somewhere else. A trip to the hobby shop will fix that. This conversion is going very smoothly so far. Everything transfer right on over like nothing. When its done, you all know whats going to happen to the st-r parts.

oh man this camera phone pic quality sucks!

Looks good Pro, I'm thinking mine needs an ST-RR conversion aswell! Problem is that my club still doesn't have a new track, so no offroad racing at this stage, just on-road, so that's where my money is going at the moment. Offroad is still my main interest, just waiting patiently
