When I saw this video on my notifications I was so excited I definitely need to do this shock upgrade and watch out for them breaking🤭thank you so much for answering my questions!!!! Awesome great video!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩
Always informative, I noticed that you like to push your rigs to the limit. I am also reminded that the temperature has an effect on the shocks and or oils used in warmer/colder temperatures.
For a “budget” RC, the Big Rock almost always seems to deliver. And that’s why i love ours. I’m using 6S shocks but will definitely follow that same tightening procedure as I’m pretty sure it’s not been done since the last diff service. I’ve also never checked the pivot balls.
Until you realize how much money it takes to make it a competent and reliable basher. I've put so much more money in to my 3s arrma, that I could've got an rtr-exb and save $150. And it still breaks every almost every time I run it. If you want a solid budget basher, get the rival Team Associated mt10.
@@captaincouldverc that’s terrible. Really sorry to hear that. Like most RTRs, ours needed a new servo after a few months . I bent the motor mount on a big send. Otherwise, all the money I’ve spent has been my choice. I choose to upgrade to 6S shocks, RPM arms, different wheels etc. Truck has been super robust. Our vorteks has needed many more ££££a to make it as capable as the BR and the firma esc is a complete pita. I’m a big fan of the 6S range too and I’ve heard great things about the mt10. I’ve got my name down for an mt8 when it comes out.
@@patmarcus172 Maybe I got a bad one, I don't know, all I know is got almost a grand in to that POS and I will never purchase another 3s arrma until they make some serious revisions. And I still may not at that point. I've had my rival mt10 for a year now, and I'll I've broken its 2 spur gears, and a shock eclip came off, which was an easy repair. It's crazy to think I've got less cash invested into my kraton exb than my typhon 3s. And out of all 3, the rival mt10 is legit my favorite. That little bassterd is so much fun and so darn reliable. That the only car I have I can legit just throw a battery in, and not worry about inspecting it. The little thing just takes a massive beating.
@@captaincouldverc mT10s are such good value too - only £250 here in the U.K ! Whereas we pay lots for our Arrmas and never, ever get deals like the recent one on kraton EXBs.
@@patmarcus172 I almost purchased a second kraton exb during that deal, but decided against it. Such a bitchin deal! I can honestly say, I'm not that badly addicted to rc cars........ yet! Lol.
I like those hot racing pivot balls. They hold up a lot longer than the composite stock ones. Now I'm noticing that some of my rod ends are starting to get a little sloppy. But all in all a great little ripper of an rc. 👏🔥💯👍
I have the proline shocks for my bigrock, That’s exact same thing that happened to me, I tightened it’s never came loose since. I used associated green slime on the seals works great.
Nice job sorting the shocks earl 👌 At least was an easy fix and no threads stripped or missing parts 👍 I got a cheap banggood car that's fun to drive but every time use it stuff comes undone 😂 even locktight won't stop it. Needs regular checking.
Took a screenshot of pivot ball set thanks… that’s about the only thing I believe I’ll upgrade in mine 🙏🙏🙏 set punch down to 3 cause at 5 stripped rear diff plastic gears …😱😱😱 happy holidays taking a vaca till the 3rd. Cheers …
I run some proline powerstrokes on my 2wd slash. been running them a couple years and had no problems so far but I mainly race on a backyard track and not much serious bashing.i was going to order some for my granite but I been waiting on a stock shock to break and so far they are still doing well. But the granite gets run on a track mostly also.great videos by the way
Great video, Hot Racing bell crank and metal pivot balls will take out 95% of that slop it helped my typhon a lot, i also replaced the c hubs and knuckles with Hot Racing witch also helped a lot
First time seeing you rebuild shocks if I remember right. And definitely first time seeing shocks build ‚dead headed‘. I tested few ways by myself to get experience of the different settings and how it works best for me but honestly I never had a noticeable effect on my bashers! Might be completely wrong when it comes to race track! But I really have the feeling that the closer I build my shocks like you do I end up with bubbles in it quickly. Seems to me that air is getting sucked in 🤔 so I ended up with rebuilding them pretty close to the normal ridehight and since then it’s less maintenance.
I haven’t been impressed by proline shocks. They just don’t have a “fit and finish” that matches the price tag. I’ve not had a lot of experience with a list of brands, but the TLR shocks seem to be extremely well made in comparison.
I think of the RC cars/trucks this way it is just a mini version of a real car/truck and when do you stop repairs on that?? When you take it off the road and stop driving it all together.
Earl I noticed when I replaced the pivot balls with hot racing I needed the replace the plastic ball ends. Some had too much play to allow dust and dirt to get in .
The plastic ball end sand down quickly and I know the rod end will wear but normally traxxas and arrma runs plastic on metal pivot balls and they last awhile without wear 👍👍
@@earlmoorhead5555 I'm sorry that's what I meant the plastic rod end will stretch. That's what happens when we beat our rc and smile while doing it. The metal ball on plastic rod end last!
HELLO MR Moorhead do you think in your description can you tell us the public what kind of parts you use when you replace them like the brand name and size i known you do it throughout your demonstration but we have to keep going through the video stopping it and writing it down so it would be nice if you could do that i know it take you more time but we don't want to miss a think RC GARAGE GUY HAS THAT PLATFORM AND THAT WORKS WELL ..thank you so much Jeff one of your favorite fans
I don’t add links because after awhile the link becomes no good and part numbers get revised on some parts and discontinued that why I don’t add them like most get paid for links I do not as I stay unbiased 👍👍
Personally I feel ProLine shocks are over priced for the lack of quality and reliability that they offer Always had issues with the set of ProLines I had

Repairs vs maintenance I really don’t work on my real cars year round but drive them year round 🤔

The pivot balls have different sizes I noticed some looked a little different and where loose
@@earlmoorhead5555 you sure it wasn't the plastic ball end stretched or a little worn?
That's why I but new ball ends no play.

I really like my stock shocks with my Granite BLX I’ve never considered upgrading them, I’m still not sure it’s worth it 🤔
Right
Earl what are part numbers for good hop ups on granite
Idk 🤷🏻♂️ mine stock 🤷🏻♂️
I mean gears and diffs
Just curious but is that brake clean gonna eat up those rubber o rings?
No it works great on wheel cylinder that have oring on brakes in cars just eats paint and certain thin rubber components
Non chlorinated break cleaner o-ring safe🤗. Just don't get it on a body!😔
