Setting up Desert Lizards shocks for Competition Crawler

A quick guide showing how I set up Desert Lizard shocks for my Class 2 competition crawler, using droop to aid climbing and side hilling. I used 90mm shocks for the front and 100mm for the rear on this LCG Crawler.
I used the following:
Desert Lizard 90mm shocks - lcgcrawler.co.uk/products/90m...
Desert Lizard 100mm shocks - lcgcrawler.co.uk/products/100...
Core shock oil 275cwt front and 400cwt rear - lcgcrawler.co.uk/search?q=cor...
Yeah racing o-ring grease - lcgcrawler.co.uk/products/hig...

These setup videos, regardless of the content provider, need a drive video to demonstrate how the shocks work in a real world environment. Otherwise, good video, well explained 👍

Great point, i will try and do a running video - from a competition point of view the set up in winning comps so I am happy

I built mine the same way, actually hinders the performance on the rocks

Little tip, for changing springs on the shaft. Just wind the spring in or off the shock. Less faff and no chance of marring the shaft or seals.

I always found I could wind the spring onto the shock shaft like threading on a keyring....but that's just me I suppose. I also like to put a small piece of heat shrink over the threads when i pull the shock shaft out, just so the threads don't nick the shock shaft seal o rings..... I really think that's where most people end up with leaking shocks

I’ve just bought the 120mm tried it like you have but found that the damper shaft gets scored by the spring rubbing it inside so am trying sprung now instead will need new damper shafts when available to purchase again

The shock pliers/tool you were using throughout were pretty nifty, do you have a link for them?

Amazon has them and lots of them with kits. I got the same and it came with a magnetic tray.

Hi. Great video. Do u have a video of your shocks on the truck?? I'd like to see how they works in real life.

I know you said what springs you are going to install, but i dont think you mentioned what rig you run. I run a gen8 v2 which is kind of heavy. it would be nice to know what you run so i can have an ideal of what spring set up i would like to try. Thanks :)

@LCG_Crawler 10 ай бұрын

So this set up works for most competition rigs, its more about the weight of the axles rather than the rig as it is in droop most of the time - if your rig in over 3kg you might consider going for the medium strength spring down the tube
