Im thinking fox evols LT on front fourplay LT a-arms Fox rear shock and fourplay swing arm?

Pretty good set up?

And Stock shocks will I be able to do 80ft doubles (when I get back into it and in shape) without dieing on stock shocks?How are stock shocks on these ltrs?Will they suite me for now im not that fast anymore but I will be again (I hope)

you can only go so fast on the stock ltr shocks...they are better than most shocks, but theres a reason they make after market.

you cant go wrong with fox evols, thats for sure....I havent ridden on fourplay a-arms but I can tell you that my fox/walsh setup is amazing.

walsh is ofcourse good for a-arms, but other top notch brands are houser,laegers, lonestar and such

I guess you guys have never seen Doug Gust riding the stock LTR on his practice track? He goes faster than most can on a walsh/fox setup, its all in your ability. He's a big guy and he was clearing i think the 80 footer at his place no problem. Is aftermarket going to be smoother? Yes. Do you need them to race, No.

because they cost a ridiculous amount of money. I bought their a-arms because everyone "has to have them" first ride out i dented one right off on an mx track. didnt even know i hit anything. few months after that all my joints were shot and my front end was sloppy. My buddy has sheered off 2 walsh stems and seriously bent 1, the 2 he sheered off broke with normal racing. They sell nice products no doubt about it but why would i drop a few hundred more on them, when another company has products that hold up twice as good? thats all im saying. walsh is a WASTE of money unless you are a big time racer and can afford to replace their stuff when it fails, or gets sloppy.

so once again, YOU, can only go so fast on stock components. YOU, meaning each individual person.

Thanks for playing

KOQ long travel a-arms and link, Fox Evols DSC, and Podium-x dsc rear. They are very well built, they took 10 th at pont de vaux, which is one of the hardest tests of a product.

im switching to atv fourplay's from walsh's, im LTRracer4's buddy that has sheared stems, i have bent a arms, busted heim joints, and wore bearings out like nobody's business and its a walsh and replacement parts from them are a fortune, hell i couldnt even get them to send me some free stickers, i had to pay for them, and so you know, im not hard on my stuff either, my bikes are very well taken care of, im a smooth rider and i have had nothing but problems with walsh
