    Not sure if I would try on my truck but they seem to work pretty good. I like the way you think bro. Cool stuff.

    @gatekeeper506 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Kevin, I enjoy your approach to this hobby. It is different. Don't you think Massive shock/suspension flex is not always an advantage? What are your thoughts. I know you like to experiment. Thanks again.

    @not5tock5.0 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    What mm are they? I was looking at getting 103mm gmade piggy back shocks but I don't want to have to make that custom shock mount, I would like to use the stock mounting system

  • @robertrosson1990
    @robertrosson1990 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    You could adjust the spring stiffness if there's adjustment nuts on those shocks I have 130mm on my wraith and they do have adjusters on them man talk about having some serious flex that they have the 130 inabable my wrath to crawl over some pretty gnarly rocky trails.

  • @FindUmOrGrindUm318

    Wouldn’t you achieve the same thing using the TRX long arm lift kit? Or aren’t the shocks that long?

  • @jrodzrc4580
    @jrodzrc4580 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    U should have left the same shocks on it it does well try droop in the rear of the truck the gmade transtion shocks in the rear 110mm works well my buddy runs them on his truck when we do comps

  • @fatelmo
    @fatelmo 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi, fantastic modification i must say and I love the longer throw coming from the suspension. However, I encounter another problem. My front wheel will rub the body shell on full right when reversing. And is only when reversing right full lock, left is fine.
    Wonder if you have any suggestion or recommendation? Many thanks in advance.

    • @barrelbum1016
      @barrelbum1016 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Trim the body a bit. A little can go a long way.

    @dadbodgaming8474 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Soooo what did you change in the front? I did this with same shocks and made same brkts but the front driveshaft comes out at full flex. Well I put a longer 3rd link rod end and now it soesnt fall out but gets all kinda wedged.

    It won't be too long, and a company will release a set of mounts, essentially like you just made, for long travel shocks. shockingly, that worked really, really well. not bad at all!

    Do you have any recommendations for starter RC rock crawlers? I really want one to be the next truck I get. I already have a 1/18 brushless monster truck and a 1990's kyosho 1/10 truck.

    • @nascarsimracing1
      @nascarsimracing1 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow! I checked it out and it looks absolutely sweet! Thanks for the recommendation! It will be pretty expensive for me, but once I get a job (I am only 15 and turning 16) with a few weeks' work I can afford it!

    • @davidholden2658
      @davidholden2658 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Austin Younts I think he is using the great black sharks on there they have optimal travel and can easily dive to deeper depths in the ocean. Just kidding bro he said he was using a type of hpi crawler shock I don't know the model

    I'm going to have to watch the whole thing but you seem educated enough to know your stuff. Searching for more Flex isn't good just for Just about every crawling situation. Let me watch the full video but messing with the stock ride height and lcg hurts performance on my nasty trails
