Fantastic video Mark! Very helpful. Would you apply the same method to the newer V Shocks? Also, can you send me the plans for the shock holder? Thanks again!
Hey Mate, mine are not variable - the same method should work fine tho, maybe even better than a standard shock. The added port (or variable part) should flow the silicone better. Let me know if you gibe it a try!! Thanks for the comment!
Keep an eye out for the next video, I'll be demonstrating the importance of warming your engine! its going to be a great video!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Thanks for the video. We used to use the little twisty ballons for shock boots. good on our 8th scale buggy shocks, they kept them from getting scratched up. And they where cheap.
Mate your going to love the next video! I'm going to fire up the engine and demonstrate the importance of warming up before use! Thanks for your support!
I use 8000 in the front and 4000 in the rear, nothing special either just some old FG stuff I had lying around too! what kind of car do you have? 1/5 scale?
@@MarkThomasson76 , Thank you for the response. Great instructional videos. Looking forward to seeing more... What about one on gearing or engine tuning...
I don't use hobby-grade silicon oil, they're so expensive compared to the industrial one... just buy random cst grade and mixed as you needed using this calculator... oil-additives.evonik.com/product/oil-additives/resources/base-oil-mixtures-en.html
I don't know where you could buy in your country, but in my country, I usually buy them from my local chemical supplies store... You could buy industrial grade silicone oils...
Great video.
Thank you so much!! There is no tuto in France so thank you!!😭😭😂
Can’t come in to the on-road 1/5 with a mecatech but I can wait to get myn today, keep this up . I know it’s an old video

Thanks again!
I wish 1/5 onroad was more popular here in Texas. We have some but not as intense as Europe and Australia.
A very nice workshop!
I cannot see if this are the Variable Shocks or not. At the V shocks we have the problem with the rebound by filling it up.

Thanks Mate!! if only I could retire and potter around the workshop all day long! Do you have somewhere to work on your cars?
Mark Thomasson i have a cosy smart room with a heater in the winter, but without a air conditioning in the summer. But fine tho!
Awesome video. Just moved to mechatech from RS5.
Those jokes were shockingly good!
I'm shocked you liked them RC girl!
I laughed too hard at those!🤣
Awesome videos mark. If if we know how to do I watch them for guidance and process
Nice video!! Can't wait for you to hit up on the FG Evo. Thanks for all that you do.

@@MarkThomasson76 Got a set of the Mecatech Shocks, they are worth it!!!
Hi Mark could you please send the plans for the shock holder.
cheers

Thanks for the video. We used to use the little twisty ballons for shock boots. good on our 8th scale buggy shocks, they kept them from getting scratched up. And they where cheap.
Hi Mark. Love your videos. Can you send me the plans for the shock stand?
Thanks Mate! no worries re the plans (have sent you a FB friend request)
Hello Mark, can you share the code for that Mecatech stud with pass through hole?
Hello my friend. You did it again. This is an awesome video . I am going to use it to make a rebuild to my absorbers. Keep feeding these ideas .
Mate your going to love the next video! I'm going to fire up the engine and demonstrate the importance of warming up before use! Thanks for your support!
What shock oil do you use for front and rear?

Mate what a great tip! wheres the best place to buy industrial silicone oil? I'm keen to give it a go!!
I don't know where you could buy in your country, but in my country, I usually buy them from my local chemical supplies store... You could buy industrial grade silicone oils...
They usually sells in 350cst, 1.000cst and 5.000 cst...
@@martintanjung5540 I'll have a look around! I'm really keen to try something! Thanks Mate
You're welcome...
Hi Mark,
Would love a copy of the plans for the shock stand. Have you tried this method on the new variable flow mecatech shocks?
Thanks,
Woody
Hi Mark!!! very good video! I'm following everyone, continue! does this system fit new variable shocks? I'm using the new variables !!! thank you!!!
@Stener Pereira Mate thanks so much!!! yes bleeding this way works perfectly with the new variables, in fact the variables are easier to bleed.
