Remote res. shocks? Isn't that a no-no
remote mounting.
remote res OK.
??
So as long as the res is mounted to the shock that is ok? Attach the res. to the cage or something else is a no-no?
Please clarify

Hey Jay,
Remote mounting of a shock is entirely different then remote mount resevoirs on a shock. A remote mounted shock is a shock that is mounted on a cantilever set up or a rocker arm. This makes it so the shock could be place inboard the frame and even horizontal if one wanted. A remote mounted resevoir is just that the res for the shock oil. They are ok and can be mounted any where you'd like provided it's safe.
Page two of the class spec:
ZWC: SHOCK ABSORBERS & BUMP STOPS
A maximum of one shock per wheel is permitted. Shock locations are optional. Rear shocks may
protrude through the bed of the vehicle. Front Shocks may protrude through the inner fender well
of the vehicle.
Shocks may not be remote mounted. (Remote reservoir is acceptable)
Remote mounted shocks; coil-over shocks, air springs and air shocks are not permitted.
Moveable bump stops are not permitted. (This includes hydraulic and air bumps)I've attached a couple of examples of a remote mounted shock. (this would NOT be acceptable.)
