Another Slash owner here. I installed a 230x60 DB Coil CS on my large (19.5”) Slash and the piggyback contacted the down tube, and would definitely punch a hole in the frame during riding. Talked with NSDynamics and they confirmed the same issue with another 19.5” Slash, which they solved by limiting the stroke (significantly) with spacers.
Swapped it for a 230x60 CDDB In-line Coil CS and it’s been working perfectly for over a year. Best upgrade I’ve ever done to a bike. 80kg with gear and running a 550lbs VALT spring.

Cheers man!
1. Yep, reposted. But it's still my video and I filmed it with the aim of submitting to BDB3.
2. No, he's not on a factory team. On the downhill side of things he gets helped out by Carine Cycles.
