clanking type sound?

[mikeb683]

Alright so this is gonna be kinda hard to explain, but i have a sound and its annoying the **** out of me. It only at low speed and when i hit a bump, and sometimes when i turn. I have a rc 2.5 in it, and its been in for a few months it has always done this im just tired of it. Everything is tight wheels are aligned and balanced and i cant find anything loose. The other thing that is strange is it drives like a dream dead straight on the road. I cant really think of how to describe the sound but i reminds me of a shock or spring compressing that type of metal sound, so you think thats what it could be? being only low speed and bumps. Let me kno

maybe its your shocks bottoming out..?? there are quite a few threads on this and RC i think sent out shorter shocks because of this issue

[mikeb683]

well in order for the shocks to bottom out the springs would as well so i dont think thats the issue. They seem fine they are extended good and the springs are as well not close together like some of the springs they were having issues with.

Crawl under it and bounce it to see if you produce the clank then see if you can isolate it. There are lots of things it could be... a loose suspension component or interference somewhere.
