Question Rear Suspension

Hey I was just wondering exactly what i would need to do and what parts i would need to make my MRS4 have an oil rear shock. I have recently put a Mini Machine Motor into my car and also a new 6 cell 6v pack. I am running it on an 11t pinnion with the stock spur. Everything else is stock and I find that the car gets squirly when it goes faster than 30mph. I need this extra suspension but i am just confused on the process and the required parts.

I run on a main street with a limit of 35 mph and no one does that because it connects to a highway and people just are naturally stupid. Any way I am goin faster than traffic at top speed but the out runs are usualy when i flip it and ruin my "look at me I'm insane" moment.

Thanks for any future advice!!!

You can get a rc18t front shock and install it, but you need to make sure that your at the 150mm setting. GPM also makes an oil damper as well with different tension springs.

Are you using the stock rear upperdeck........All you would need to do if you are using the stocker is too just cut it in a upside down V......stop when you get to the first ball cup.

Ok, well its time to rehash an old post

Stock chassis, stock upper deck piece.... using the same method described previously in cutting of the deck, would it be possible to mount the stock rear suspension on the rear most hole, but on the upper side rather then the underside?

Yes of course it would be possible, are you planning to go with a bigger shock in the rear, if your planning to you can get the vcs shock or the front rc18t shock and mount it that way.
