Hey guys, after many requests here is a simple breakdown of the pen spring modification to lower the center of gravity and overall ride height for your Danchee ridgerock.
The primary benefit of working air bubbles out from under the piston is not necessarily to eliminate air from the inside of the shock rather it is to ensure you are adding an equal amount of oil to all four shocks.
When selecting your desired pin spring keep in mind whatever the overall compressed height of the spring is will be the equivalent to the loss in overall shock travel. Basically the taller the pen spring is when fully compressed the more travel you will lose.
This is a fairly simple DIY process. Make sure you have your shock oil of choice on hand before undertaking this project.

Nice job. I think your hack works well to keep tool marks on the shaft. It's always nice when you can use household items to mod your RC. Very cool. 👍👍

Man I can’t keep up with my projects. I have a bunch of upgrade parts to install & work to do but never have time. The time I do have is spent out enjoying them but I have to just pick a day so I can get most of them started. And I’m still waiting on more parts. RC’s definitely keeping ya busy.

After running my Danchee with the spring retainers off to lower the ride height I liked how it performed so I took the shocks apart to do this mod and to have it properly lowered and have also heard it works great for climbing and side hilling.I ended up using some extra hot racing springs I had for my scx24. They compress lower than your average pen spring.

Hahaha, yes sir, when I took the springs out later and replaced I used the same. The firm H.R. spring for scx24 shocks. They work wonderfully!!! Thanks for sharing 👍

I wanted to say thanks for your series on the redcat ridge Rock I have the exact vehicle which I am modifying much the same way and I'm interested in the exact brand pin that you used I've attempted several times to do the pens spring mod to my ridge Rock but as soon as I install the factory springs on the shop the internal spring that I've installed is completely depressed by the factory spring it seems I need a stiffer spring but have not been able to find one in any of the pins that I've tried to use your suggestion would be deeply appreciated thank you love your channel

Harbor freight does a cheap spring selection which is useful for this mod. You might want to try using a limit strap instead so you don't lose shock travel (the compressed internal spring). I made some from hair ties with hooks made from paper clips super glued on the end then adhesive heat shrink collars.

I guess you could just find some old beater shocks, some cheap short ones to do the same thing right ? Like off an old car or truck lying around ? If they owe is to defeat the quality of the stock shock that would be a way to do it also.

You’ve got a couple options here…..I did both the Everest 10 high clearance links and added wheel hex spacers to wider the stance a bit for clearance. Adding some huge 5.9” OD tires this week so clearance will again be a consideration. Stay tuned for new Ridgerock content 👍

Won’t the pen spring put scratches on the shock shaft
@SonoranScaleStudios
@SonoranScaleStudios Жыл бұрын
I’ve never had or heard of anyone having an issue. I think suspended in shock oil, likely softer metal for the spring than shock and no real pressure into the shaft it’s not likely to be a problem.

I used team associated 40 weight but it really comes down to temperature, conditions and personal preference on how fast or slow you want the shock to rebound. I find 40 to be a nice middle ground for all categories

@@SonoranScaleStudios also, the shock springs are really strong! i realized that a full penspring would make the shock spring become too compressed and hard. on a light truck, this means the spring doesnt absorve the road irregularities...may work on rocks but too harsh on trails...opted for half of penspring and shocks cups out for the rocks and cups on for the trails. Maybe cutting half cm of the spring would make it softer?!
