Fixing the Redcat Ascent shocks 

You know someone has been building shocks for a good while when they release the air with the good old fashion finger flick trick.

Just the right amount of knowledge for my tiny brain to process. Thanks, subbed.

Thank you for the quick and concise vid. I just took delivery of my ascent and plan on doing some mods before it hits the dirt

Very helpful. Thanks man.

Great thanks! I was hesitating at removing the internal spring on the front shock (did on the back) but now I'm convinced.

I had the impression these where just springs, no oil. Now I’m fascinated. Because I just got an ascent fusion and the shocks I feel could use a heavier oil. I want 70wt, that way I don’t have to really mess with spring rates.

would you happen to know the overall length of the shocks?

Help, first I did this mod, but put the piston before the washer. Does that effect it at all, or is it just the same. It took a really long time to do this so i dont want to take it apart unless i have to

Alot happier, yes.

I think this will be a good fix 90 X10mm medium for front & 110 x 10mm for rear.

I want to do your SOA on my Ascent but the motor is in the way of the right side upper link so what did you do to 4 link yours?

is that a custom front axel how did u mount your serv0 s0 low please help

Any idea when you will have the Servo on Axle Mount back in stock for the Ascent? Thank you

I know u have the servo mount, I will be getting one of those from you. Would you be so kind as to provide a video or details on the parts needed and how to do the 4 link setup?

to much trouble to remove the tires and then the shocks to work on them???

Did you set up the rear the same?

I am very interested in switching over to a 4 link on my ascent. I have the carbon chassis and have spent a lot of money on shocks and shock mounts. I think it could finally fix the no flex situation on the front. Are you selling a kit? I am your first customer if so, lol.

What servo mount is that ??

What links did you use?

What type of springs you replace then with

It's actually pretty piss poor by Redcat, not to include cone shaped internal springs, with correct rate in those shocks, since they wanted a true, factory setup and not a bloody yt bodge.

That setup looks like it will unload on a steep incline.

How to overcomplicate a simple routine...😂
