Losi Mini LMT Dual Shock Mounting Kit (PROTOTYPE!)

NOTE: Only for stock plastic axle housings. While this setup is totaly functional it is mainly just for looks. You will likely get better performance from a high end single shock. 

BRAND NEW. Oversteer Hobbie's Dual shock mounting kit is for the serious DIY'er that really wants a custom look. This kit was designed after Ryan Anderson himself asked if I could create a way to mount some eBay shocks he found to his Mini LMT and make them look more realistic. How could I say no! 

If you have access to a 3D printer that can run TPU I highly recommend downloading our file instead so if anything breaks or I update it you can get the latest files. Otherwise this listing is for the physical 3D printed parts. They have not been extensively battle tested and durability is still unknown. While the setup I use for this is very functional, the main reason for doing this is FOR LOOKS! You can tune this setup quite a bit but will still likely get better shock performance from a high end single shock.

Watch the video to see how I convert the shocks from external to internal spring shocks to make them look like real Monster Jam shocks. You could leave off the fake piggybacks, and just run two of any shock if you wanted. 

3D printed TPU parts Included:

• Upper and Lower shock mounts
• Fake piggyback cylinders
• Piggyback mounting couplers
• Limit straps

Needed: 

• Aluminum shocks from ebay. I recommend the 66mm long version but you can use the 78mm, they make the ride hight taller. (link below to the ones I used but if they look the same, they likely are)
  • https://ebay.us/LMTahK
• Realy light shock oil like this 15wt. Might even want 10wt in just one but you can experiment

• Spring kit I used to turn external into internal spring shocks. I ended up using 0.4mm x 5mm x 20mm springs but you can experiment with the many different ride heights the different springs will give you. You can also run springs in just one of each dual shock:

• M2.5x25mm screws for mounting the shocks.

• M2 longer screws to mount the upper and lower mounts

NOTE: These parts are 3D printed from tough TPU material and can have a rough and inconsistent outer surface. Anything that goes on an RC monster truck is subject to breakage but these have a chance to survive as they are flexible and tough.
