I have on my H8 the 3racing shocks,swing shaft,knuckles with alum king-pins
I just put these all on and now the suspension travel is restricted compared to the old stock set-up so, I see that the upper arm does not swing down enough So, I adjusted it out and it free's it up for more travel but now
that gives the front wheels a bad neg. camber position for poor traction!
Do I need different adjustable blocks or or something to correct this I cant find anybody else complaining about this. Am I not setting it up right?

I dunno about this problem but I know that suspension travel for oil shocks are shorter than the stock ones...The amount of travel a 3R shock has is shorter than the Kyosho oil shocks. :)

I know the travel is shorter on these but it was restricted even more
until I widened the upper front arm. I just need a adjustable Hub to corect the camber adjustment I think?

Is it binding somewhere?

I dont know how there built but on the bottom of the shaft if its screwd into a mounting peice that mounts to the arm if it has enough thread you could try and unscrew. Use a rag and pliers so you dont scratch the shaft
