Associated ASC1600

This is the Optional Factory Team Shock kit for the TRA T-Maxx. These directly replace the stock plastic shocks. Shock bodies are aluminum Anodized blue 8 Blue aluminum shock bodies, 1.32" length 8 Blue springs, 2.5lb 1 Bottle of shock oil 3 Wrenches All necessary hardware to finish the shocks and instructions. The extended length from mounting hole to mounting hole is 4 1/8". The closed length from mounting hole to mounting hole is 2 3/4". This is a complete optional shock set for the TRA T-maxx. Tuning information directly from Associated: "We have received a few reports of people having trouble using the Associated shocks as replacement for the t-maxx. Please read the hints following in case you need help adapting our shocks. RIDE HEIGHT If you are attempting to achieve the same ride height as the stock set up, you will need to add .240" more pre-load spacers than we show in the instructions. However, in our opinion, the ride height of the stock truck is high and is not good for the overall handling of the truck. SHOCK TRAVEL In addition, our shock allows .115" of increased compressed travel and the extended travel is increased by .060" . Because of the extended travel over the stock shocks, for "on road" you should add #6466 travel limiters to the inside of the shocks. This will cut down on the chassis roll and will substantially aid handling. We are not indicating how many of these limiters to use as that will vary for each driver''s needs and you will probably need several packages of the limiters to accommodate all of the shocks on the truck. SHOCK OILS AND PISTONS In addition, you may want to experiment with different weight shock oils as well as pistons. For instance, we say to use the #1 pistons in the kit instructions but you may want to go to #3 pistons for on road use. This will cut down on the chassis roll and will aid handling on flat, smooth surfaces such as parking lots. However, this may not be good for rough off road use, which is where most will run their T-Maxx. &
