RE: Dual shocks
On the other hand i could tell you....
You need to get 2 packs of the turbo big shocks for the Inferno. And a set of the shock mounts. Look in your manual for the part numbers.
If you want pics of the dual shocks set up go to http://www.madforce.net and look through the photos section.
Be warned however that the extra shocks also need the super soft (yellow) springs and lighter oil. They also make the truck's handling worse and landing jumps harder. There are many racers who remove the extra shocks when they race for these reasons. They are really only a cosmetic addition...and is it worth it for over $100 expense?
Just my opinion...hope it helps
Cheers,
David

RE: Dual shocks
I thought all that paper that came with an RTR was free bird cage liner, or was to use for housebreaking a new puppy if you had one. You mean there is some actual good info in all that stuff?

RE: Dual shocks
Dunno....i have the kit....lol If you have the RTR...you would need to get 4 packs of the shocks (ouch that'll hurt your pocket), and will probably need 2 of the mounting kits, dunno if youd need anything extra....you have to ask....is it worth it??? NO IMHO!

RE: Dual shocks
Take a look on madforce.net if you want some serious opinions on the dual shock set up. All I know is that racers take off the extra shocks when they race (that must tell you something!)
I dont think you can get soft enough springs to make it handle well enough with 8 shocks, the yellow springs are too hard!
