what engine mods are you planning / have done, playing in the sand takes grit

All i have now is a K&n Filter performance plug wires and platnium 4 plugs but i will be doing a header and a mild cam and a new air filtration system cause the shocks hoops come up through the inner fender wells

They dont include much details about 'em and I bet it's the same as a Fox or Sway-a-way and just carry Evans name for the extra $$

And the biggest they have is a 14" and I want to get 16" travel ones so i starting to lean towards fox shocks cause they are more well known and i have seen them used more

If you end up with a miss and power loss after 15k or so with those platinum plugs you will know why I don't buy them.

SWAMPER · « **Reply #41 on:** Nov 28, 2004, 07:52:09 PM »

You see forget the air shocks and just get monroe shocks

Mike D · « **Reply #42 on:** Nov 28, 2004, 07:53:59 PM »

i was looking at the napa ones and they are falkin sweet

BigMike · « **Reply #43 on:** Nov 28, 2004, 08:24:29 PM »

um, dumbass question here, but the whole idea is that the shocks themselves are what is suspending the vehicle, right? No leafs or springs, jus the shocks yes? That's alot of air pressure..

Mike D · « **Reply #44 on:** Nov 28, 2004, 08:28:35 PM »

there is no air in the shocks it is all done by highly pressurized nitrogen gas.

BigMike · « **Reply #48 on:** Nov 28, 2004, 10:15:43 PM »

dang why would you use Xterrain tires on a sweet ride like that

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #49 on:** Nov 29, 2004, 03:09:31 AM »

X terrains blow goat in WA type terrain. I wathced 2 buggies that were virtually identical (teamates) one with 36" sx's and the other with 37" X's try the same obstacle one after the other on the same line. The sx rig had no issues the X just spun. Lovely to watch.
