I recently installed the Injora 26mm oil shocks with 20wt oil and noticed the truck sits noticeably lower/leans toward the battery side.

Everything seems to be installed correctly, and the shocks feel smooth, but the weight of the battery seems to be compressing that side more than the other.

Has anyone else run into this with the 26mm Injoras? If so, what was the best fix?

Different preload side-to-side? Stiffer spring on the battery side? Relocate the battery? Or is some lean just normal on these little trucks?

Trying to keep the suspension as balanced as possible without making one side overly stiff.

Thanks!

Been messing with my SCX30 Bronco and finally have it looking pretty much exactly how I want it.

So far I’ve:

*Swapped to larger INJORA wheels and tires
*****Added INJORA shocks and changed the shock oil
*Added brass steering knuckles
*Been working on getting the suspension/articulation where I want it
*Noticed the new tires rub the body/fender flares, but only at pretty much max articulation
*Had my steering endpoints maxed out

Unfortunately, I barely even got a chance to crawl with the new wheel/tire setup before I smoked the stock steering servo. I was going over a pretty big obstacle and the servo started smoking. I pulled it apart afterward and the plastic housing around the motor is actually melted/warped.

I really don’t want to go back to smaller tires because I love the way the Bronco looks with these and, for the short time I actually got to use them, I really liked how it crawled.

I ordered an INJORA N30 Pro servo, which arrives today.
My plan is to install the N30 Pro, properly set the steering endpoints so the servo isn’t fighting the mechanical limits at full lock, and check tire clearance at full articulation/full steering before running it hard again.

Does that sound like the right move? Is a little tire rub at maximum articulation something you’d live with, or am I asking to cook another servo if I keep these tires?

Anything else you’d change or check before I start crawling again?

But this is one of the best TMNT vehicle designs ever made.
