Awesome input! 🙌 Thanks.
I scored a TRX4 second hand with them. It needed some TLC. and a servo.
🤔 Im not sure about using WD40 on rubber o-rings. It degrades the material and youll def have problems.
Also, I didnt remove any of the seals. They are designed specifically as a wiper set and fit together properly. Best you can do is rebuild them on schedule 100% and use the right shock weight silicone oil. (The mods are few... New springs or modify holes in piston, combo there of.) Hope this helps.
I took the top cap off and used a few drops of shock oil, cycle it by hand, and now works amazing. Didnt need to remove the o ring.
don't put wd40 on an o-ring, it has petroleum distilliates in it, it will break down the print overtime. use paintball gun oil or rc shock oil, it's silicone based. that was my only complaint. other than that great vid!
Thank you, this video just saved my butt, got 120mm on my superwraith, and 100mm on honcho, zero rebound, sticky, now, perfect, thanks again
Rodney Sanborn Anytime! Glade it worked out for ya! :)
thanks I don't know what I would have done without ya. I grinded down the plastic ball swivel thingy and it fit perfect. no bending. anyways thank u very much
Haha. No problem. glad it helped!
Same i filed mine down to the perfect fit
I just put the green venom creeper 120mm shocks on my losi rock rey from my prolines. Holy awesome I just added a few drops of 40weight in each one used the softer spring in each piston and my rock rey glides over boulder/ rock's 15 to 20 mph easy it bunny hops and does 360s like a grasshopper I love these shocks there like pillow soft freestyle shocks. I love em I'm so glad I tried these
They take up no room no bulky phatboy shocks super strong and if you have ever seen the size of Rock rey Maxxis kit tires there huge these shocks are a perfect match for them and my 3.8 size 40 series badlands. I can't wait to race them I will fly over rocks I wish I would have found these a year ago. What I like is you can make them springy as hell to literally hop on rocks or super smooth with perfect rebound.
Right on! I have a HPI King Crawler and I bought the HR Racing 120mm shocks for it. However, I was about to trash them and came across your video times to make then return better. After doing what you recommend I put them back on my Rock Crawler and they now work the way I was hoping to begin with. Thanks for the Shock Tips!
+MediaHero69 no problem! Glad it saved ya!
Awesome video, many thanks! I just got a 120mm set for my Wraith and was a little annoyed at no build instructions. Your video likely saved my a good amount of time!
+DargoDog Haha Glad i was able to help you out! any questions feel free to let me know!
use shock oil, not wd40 because it could destroy your seals. thanks for the vid man
Hi Ray! He bud just got a set of these today not this same brand name but inner spring shocks they had a little bit of lubrication oil in them I'm wondering am I supposed to use shock oil had no instructions and the kit came with hard medium and soft. Thx if u came help
Great video, I assume you've had a chance to crawl with them, what do you think? If it's one thing that annoys me is rebuilding my shocks. I tend to pound on my rig a lot and I end up rebuilding my shocks every few months. I hear mixed feedback about internal spring shocks, what do you think? How bad or good is the ride? Appreciate the feedback. :)
What is the width of the swivel joint in mm? And what size screw will fit through the swivel joint? M3 or M4?
Subbed today...so far I dig the content
Just bought the 100 mil version and thank god someone is on TH-cam explaining them! I was surprised to find zero instructions.
Can you put oil in those and is there a benefit in using both internal and external shock for a buggy?
That's a great tip on how to make those shocks better. Thumbs up bro!
Thanks man! Ya it took me about an hour the first night i had them too figure out why they didnt work, all that well and how too improve on it...lol
I bought the 110mm ones and it seems that following your instructions the bottom gets the biggest ball. However it is bigger than the hole on the shock..... Am I supposed to drill it out or did they send me the wrong ball ends?
Hi friend.
Can these shock absorbers be used with an Axial SCX10?
thanks for the time and help now i can buy a set of these!
How do you get the top cap off ?
Nice will that shock work with air
I bought some cheap things but the springs are to weak. What weight spring should I use?
Thanks mate i was just about to throw my shocks out had enuf of them but after watching this they are awsome now, thanks you saved my shocks👍
+Anthony White Glad you got them working. They may be a bit bouncy however i liked the way it crawled over stuff much better after doing this.
+RC Overload Is it possible to run them oil filled? That would help the bounce if you could.
Are they all around shocks or crawler
Thanks for the tips! Mine work great now! I used silicone oil instead though (Last longer than wd40)
Wd40 will kill the seal...
+Wanz Xlayer i ran them for almost two years. Never ran into an issue. Seals were still good.
Best to use a few drops shock oil (silicone oil) . The carrier fluid in WD-40 will kill seals it evaporates quickly. Petroleum oil eats rubber slowly.
Anecdotal evidence .
Do we ave To put oil in ?
Thanks, I have been looking at these for years just haven't ordered them yet. Just a heads up WD can be corrosive to rubber and plastic seals.
They are a great shock, honestly. and yup i know. Luckily enough i have been using WD-40 on all my RC trucks for almost 10 years and not ones has anything broken down. I think the o rings and seals used in the rc industry is different to the material used in stuff like dirt bikes and so forth.
Hey that's cool mate, great tips there, appreciate you going to the trouble to help me and others out with this video, I gave my shocks to an rc friend anyway, I think like bunz my truck was just too heavy, perhaps I should have played around with them more and tried what you said but I moved on to some other shocks, cheers mate :o)
Looking forward to checking this video out. I made some internal spring shocks for my RS10 project that are "ok". The Hot Racing shocks look a little more durable than what I've got going on. :)
In my opinion. They are amazing i havee been running them now for about 8 months, and i havnt noticed any issues.
No worrys man. I know you got rid of them already, but i wanted to make a video anyways for others. You just happend to make me do it sooner...haha
I might give them a go in the future, not give up so easy,lol, cheers
Hey at least ya know now...lol
Hi, I was wondering which shocks are better, 90mm or 100mm? In addition, did you have a chance to test Aluminum Scale 90mm Damper Shock?
I just subscribed, very nice videos.
watched the Vid, but mine are not sitting at the same level??? help PL, one seems softer
Great video! I have the same issue with the Boomerang Type 1 shock. They are super stiff and almost no rebound. I don't see the second O ring on these. RCO any suggestions or anyone else?
+Michael Christopher Honestly i dont have any, other then maybe trying a different shock fluid oil and lighter spring?
I know this vid is old, but I have a question. I'm wanting more of a droop setup on my 2.2 Wraith Rock Racer. Would these be good for that? Or should I just save my money and do the stock shock hack with the 3 hole pistons?
I would probably just go with the stock shock hack for now. These were good but they didnt last long as far as o rings go.
Thanks, I might have to try those shocks for my scx10.
Definitely! I love these shocks! I would certainly recommend them, considering they come with 3 different sets of springs to match the weight of your truck and to set them for how flexible you want the suspension. Considering the cost of them they are an excellent choice IMO.
Do u have a picture of the piston?
What spring rate are you using for the scx10 soft med or the hard? Thanks for the Input!
aklopf2004 Im currently using Hard
pretty sure there sopposed to be filled with oil, then the o rings would be lubricated and it would function properly with the piston traveling through the oil absorbing the shock. no oil equals bouncy bounce
+phil9022 Yes they are, i wanted no fluid for a very flexible setup. I did try later on with 10 and 20 weight oil and the jeep didn't perform all that great with those fluids in it.
+RC Overload So these are not the Hot Racing air shocks? I am looking at getting the air shocks in 100mm and they do not run oil.
WD40? You should be recommending a dab of silicone oil.
Matthew Ottman WD40 has silicone oil in it!!
No new videos of the smt10
Would these shocks work better filled or not filled with shock oil?
Depends on the type of action on the rebound side your looking for, and of course the weight of oil will determine the speed of action
Shoud I get HR or RC4WD internal spring shocks?
Rich D... I’m a little late. But I would recommend HR if your looking for a cheaper but awesome spring man! But, RC4wd is a good brand I would do, if you would spend that much on shocks then I would invest in a good pair of prolines. But if not do the Hr
thank you! def subscribed! this helped out alot!!
No problem! glad it helped!
so are these better than proline
Are you still using these shocks and do you still like them was thinking about getting some I'm new to the scx10 thanks
Dan Wilson Hey Dan, Yes I am still using those shocks. Been using them for almost 2 years now actually...Still work great!
RCoverload
Thank you I think I'll go ahead and get a set thanks for the great video
Sorry got it off lol
you're funny dude, shocks that just spring back out like that are no good for crawling, it'll easily upset your truck and make it tip over easier. very bad advice, adding a little mineral oil will stop them from sticking.
