The idea is in the Lazy Bee manual, page 8 (see picture 1). I used the A721 HPI Super Shock 50-66mm shocks from HPI Racing with out adding the oil, just air and left the bladder pressurized. I bought them at the local hobby shop. I made 1/8” Id brass tube and washer standoffs and 1/8” music wire for both the upper shock mount and axel, Trexler #11 wheels pumped up to just firm. Any more and they bounce pretty good. I have found that using the same wheels with the shocks landings are maybe a little smoother, not as much bounce (the LB bounces a little nearly every time). The stock gear with a little less air in the Trexlers work pretty well as “bush” tires. If you use a solid foam wheel, maybe they would be more effective, but I haven’t tried them.
