Feel like I'm gonna be watching this a good few times to learn to setup my shocks, in order to get rid of this torque twist that my rig has, still want it to have flex 💪🏻 but just need to get rid of the torque twist so it will crawl a lot better. 🤟🏻
I appreciate you,this was amazing I've not heard a better explanation about shock's ever!! Tyvm as I've just gotten my TRX 4m Ford high trail edition and am luv'n it!!!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your awesome comment!
The high Trail is my favorite!! I really like the way my K10 turned out.
Now I will be moving on to customizing the body the way I want it.
And I am still waiting you're in Portugal to be able to purchase the F-150 High Trail!! 😭
Finally shock setup explained cheers.
After doing quite a few builds with them, I have realized, this is the best setup I can do to prevent torque twist, and body lean!!
I am actually really surprised at how good this truck performs with its high stance!
And I'm happy that the videos are helping.
Thanks for watching and I hope to see you again on the next one ✌️😁
Thank you so much for going so far into detail on setting up the shocks you just fixed my rig. Love your videos man
It's a pleasure bro! I'm so glad you found the video useful and helpful!!
That's the whole point of making these videos.
And thank you so much for watching really appreciate your support
🤜💥🤛
Love your video’s! Thanks man!
Great video as always Ryan!! Super helpful on the shock set up especially the right rear. I have terrible torque twist on my Bronco so I’m going to reset all my shocks to your set up. Thanks!!!!
Hello OlderDadKid
Thank you so much I really appreciate the awesome comment.
And I'm really glad to hear that you found the video helpful!!
I looked up many videos to do with shocks and found that the explanations weren't great so I thought I would do this video! And at the same time explain how to reduce the torque twist a bit by increasing the pressure of the rear right shock!
Let me know how it works for you!?
So far e does being working great for me!!
I have got a friend that is working on a sway bar to prevent the torque twist especially on the load when pulling a trailer!
Hopefully soon I will do a video on it and if it works well I will put you in contact with him so you can get one for yourself.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment bro.
🤜🤛
Heck yeah appreciate this video now I have a more understanding of how the shock works cool I’ll be watching for more
I kept seeing people struggle with the shocks so I thought I better make a very in detailed video of the different ways you could set it up.
And I am really glad to hear that you found it useful.
Thank you so much for the visit and leaving me a comment bro.
Thanks for the how-to,great video
It's a pleasure bro 😊 thank you for watching and commenting 👊😉
😅 I am about to put Injura shocks on mic TRX4M. This help me so much seeing I’ve never done this before. Thank you for the video.

Looking good ...great shock tips you have been doing your homework 😅 😊
Thanks bro 🤜🤛
Yeah I see a lot of people struggling with this, so I thought I would make a video on it!
Wishing you and your family a merry Christmas 🎅🎁🎅🎁🎅
@@rcfungames 💯...same brother merry merry to you and your family 🎅 🎄
I have been setting my shocks up the 3rd way for 20 years
I agree with you one the springs, both of my rigs have factory springs on injora shocks, one has the 53mm and the other has the 59mm, I'm going to try a heavier oil like yours, I
Like the color matching shocks
Hi Austin and thank you so much for watching and commenting bro.
I find it once a person adds a bit of weight to the vehicle and it being a hard body the thicker oil performs better.
Thanks, I also think the red shocks went well with the red truck 💯
Nice video 😊
Thanks bro! I appreciate it 🤜🤛
Just ordered me some Injora high clearance links for my M K10. 💪🏻
Hell yeah bro!!! In no time yours will be fully upgraded 😁
I hope you have an awesome evening and thank you so much for watching ✌️😉
@rcfungames Oh hell yeah, I'm very much looking into trying either the MEUS or Holmes Hobbies motor to put into mine, in the future.
& Not a problem at all mate. 🤟🏻😎
nice shocks and assembly,great install
Hi bro and thank you 👊😉
Really appreciate you watching and commenting 👊😁

Love your videos! I tried installing the 59mm shocks on the high trail and it doesn’t work with the factory links. I talked to Injora and they said it is because of the lower shock mount on the high trail. And I know if probably doesn’t matter but shouldn’t you put the ball joint for the top of the shock go other way around?
Thank you very much, I really appreciate you watching my videos, and leaving a supportive comment.
No with the factory links you will definitely not be able to use the 59 mm shocks you will need the high clearance links and even then it still doesn't really want to use all the articulation available from the 59 mm shocks.
Regarding the ball joint in the top of the shock, I believe this is the right way to fit it as the flush flat side goes to the mount.
🤜💥🤛
Ok i was making sure since injora’s website shows otherwise.
@@jkonquer3853 I agree 100% that on their site that's how they show it but doesn't really make any sense
In my opinion by having the bigger lip to the outside it prevents or limits the ball joint action of the shock
Ahh ok. That's what I need to fix on my injora shocks! I followed the stupid injora instructions and my rig looks super weird when it's just sitting.
Hi bro 👋
Yeah the instructions aren't great! and that's why I decided to make this video because I saw quite a few people on Facebook struggling to get the right set up.
I am glad the video helped ☺️
Thanks for watching and commenting 🤜💥🤛
Have you run 53 mm in the front at 59th at the rear? I’ve been thinking about wanting to try that on my bronco. I’ve done the measurements and I should be able to keep the body nice and low where I have it now I get that extra travel on the rear with the 59s, but I don’t know if it would actually be beneficial
Yes I have run 53 mm in the front and 59 in the back which makes for a really good setup, the reason I went back to 53 mm in the rear, is because it just looked more realistic!
But overall I can't say it isn't a good setup!
So give it a try I think you will quite enjoy it.
My good sir I have to ask, how much space should I leave between the cap and the adjustable ring below it? TIA!
Good afternoon, my name is Ryan please don't call me sir! 😅
If you're talking about the ring that is to adjust the pressure on the springs?!
It is entirely up to you really depending on how much weight you've got on the upper part of the truck.
But if you set them up just the way I did in the video, it has been working really great with this setup.
I only have about five full turns on the rear right shock and four on the front left shock.
Just to provide a bit of extra pressure on those two springs to prevent torque twist.
I hope that helps bro anything else just let me know.
The springs look good in white,red or gold spray painted
They sure will look good painted that's for sure!! But what I'm going to be doing to the outside, the black springs will look better!!
Really appreciate you watching and commenting 🤜💥🤛
hey man can you do the light bar kit for the tx4m??
For which one the defender?
Here is the video on installing the light bar on the Defender
th-cam.com/video/kshaYzDkD7U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PlBHt1mwjPkQ50NX
Why do you put the flat side of the collet to the back? If the oring fails won't the shock fall off? The bolt head doesn't look bigger than the collet
I have never had an o-ring fail until today and so far not one shock has come off!
I know they are supposed to go the other way but I like having the flat end coupled to the vehicle as it gives a much better surface to tighten on.
But you are 100% right they are meant to go the other way around!
Back watching again, curious what is the stock shocks length
I think from hole to hole it is 51mm
But seriously the original springs on these shocks run really nice!!
Really helps with the torque twist and if you set the shock up with a little bit of preload pressure, it drives really nice and flat.
And you still get all the articulation!
This is definitely the best setup I have found so far for these little rigs!
With this setup they do 60° incline climbs no problem, and can go down near vertical obstacles!
Great performance from such a tall truck!
So I'm not understanding...what exactly is the way your sitting the shocks, 3 in the middle and 1 all the way out ? Being the right rear
@@damonbridgmon7199 3 all of the way in and the right rear at about halfway
Could you link the shock oil you used in this vid thanks
Bro here is a link to the Shock oil I used,
www.absima.shop/pp/absima-silikon-damper-oil-600cps-60ml.htm?shop=absima_en&SessionId=&a=article&ProdNr=3030011&t=19114&c=19206&p=19206
I don't know where you are in the world but these are located here in Europe
The oil I used is the 600cc 51WT
You should be able to find it from other brands it doesn't have to be this brand this is just what's available to me.
I hope this helps
I have the same drive shafts as you but mine splines are showing more than yours by a 1/4 inch or so.Not unless theses are for the Bronco or Defender
Are you sure you ordered the right ones for the high Trail?
They are a couple of millimeter longer than the Bronco and Defender.
What are the top 5 first recommended parts for this truck as a crawler, it would be awesome to get some feedback on it thank you, awesome videos as well love watching them 🤘🏻
Thanks bro I really appreciate it man, 😊
In my opinion I would definitely start with the upgraded transmission that is complete with the reduction gears bearings and the 48 turn purple motor from Injora! Excellent value for the price
Then I would definitely go for the complete 4 mm extended axles with the stand-up Servo setup
3 I would then definitely pick up some high clearance links in stainless steel so you can adjust the angle of your axles and also get some more weight down low.
4 get a servo 7 kilo or the 11 kg from Injora are great.
5 a set of brass rims and tires from Injora.
Just with these five upgrades you will save a lot of money upgrading everything individually and you will end up with a way better truck.
Hope that helps bro! I really appreciate you watching my videos thank you. 🤜💥🤛
@@rcfungames thank you, this helps out a ton thank you 😎
@@rcfungames what size shocks are best for crawling? I’m going to be putting 70mm on the truck if they will fit, do you recommend that?
@@rcfungames I dont see the axel with the stand up servo mount I only see the after market lay down servo axel , sorry for all the questions
@@motoriding3912 no worries here is a link to the axles that uses the stand-up Servo mount.
You will need to purchase the servo mount with the servo it doesn't come with the axles.

Are you running foams in those tires?
Yes I am, if I add any more weight I'm going to have to find different foams, on side hills the tires fold over!
But for now they are performing great the way they are with plenty of grip
So the rear right you set , it at factory and the other 3 you set it with the rod pushed in?
Yes the rear right, I set up with the shaft halfway out, and the front left I also have it out a bit more than the other two.
But not as much as the rear right.
Since I've been doing this I have absolutely no problem with torque twist.
I have tried so many different things and this gives the best result
@rcfungames so right rear front left are half way out and the other 2 you compressed them and than put caps on?
@@damonbridgmon7199 the rear right half out, front left just a little bit less than halfway, and then yes clothes with the caps.
@rcfungames about to try this out with 20wt.. thank you for you feed back and fast reply. Right rear half way, left front little less than half and the other 2 closed out
@@damonbridgmon7199 no worries bro that's exactly why I do this ✌️😉
Yes the other two push them in and close the caps.
Can you use the 59 mm on the hi country
Yeah you should have no problems running to 59mm
Many people use them but I didn't go for them on my high trail.
I find they've got enough articulation with the 53 mm shocks.
They become more unstable with the 59mm
But they definitely do work and there is absolutely no problem running them 👍
@@rcfungames THANKYOU YOUR AWESOME 🇨🇦🍻
What wheels and tires are you using?
Hi bro, here is a link to the rims⬇️
www.injora.com/products/injora-1-0-39g-pcs-black-brass-beadlock-wheels-for-1-24-1-18-rc-crawlers-w1008
And here is the tires ⬇️
www.injora.com/products/injora-swamp-stomper-1-0-tires-4-58mm-63mm
What are the length of the stock shocks end to end,I want to up grade I have the K10
I believe! hold to hold on the stock shocks is 51 mm just a little bit shorter than the 53 mm shocks from Injora.
You gain a tiny bit of articulation with the 53 mm shocks.
If you're thinking of running the 59 mm shocks on the front it's going to cause a couple of issues so maybe just take a set for the rear and the 53 mm set for the front.
I did that set up on the Bronco and the defender and worked really well.
53mm front and back,over the stock setup
@@rickbarg3980 in my opinion I prefer it set up with the 53mm in the front and 53mm in the back! it gives you a more realistic look when filming.
But if you're looking for that extra Flex!! And you don't want to hit the overall performance, I would say order a set of 53 mm shocks for the front and 59 mm rear
@@rcfungames but you can adjust them
What Drive shafts are those
These drive shafts are the stainless steel driveshafts from Injora for the High trail 👍
There’s no oil in the stock shocks had to fill mine
On the Bronco and Defender I had oil on the high Trail there was nothing!!
Scale as Sh1t🎉
Thanks bro 🤜💥🤛
Why not 59mm on front?
The reason I don't like 59 mm shocks on the front of the Traxxas TRX4m is that it causes too much problems due to the angles of the drive shaft.
You can run them it is not a problem! but I really do think they perform a lot better with the 53 mm shocks and an LCG chassis then the 59 mm shocks which unload when trying to climb obstacles causing you to roll over even easier.
And the scale look is lost when using the 59 mm shocks.
The way this rig is set up I am actually blown away by how capabilities and how seated down it is to the ground on side healing and on steep climbs.
I have massive sticking with 59 and 53mm Injora shocks. 😒
Sorry what do you mean sticking?
Are the shocks not nice and smooth?
@@rcfungamesmines doesn’t rebound at all when it’s on the truck. So if I press down. It won’t come back up on truck. Gonna try the stock springs n set up my shocks the way u showed n see if that works thanks man
