The springs were too stiff or long for my hyper 7 buggy, i put on rc8 springs to give me proper ride height. Really good shocks for the money, 16mm bore,4mm shaft, bleed cap, bladders, nice fit and finish. Only complaint is no hardware for the top. I made mine on a 3d printer.
I tried these on my Typhon 3s after I shortened them considerably. One shaft bent and another one is leaking. I suppose they hold up about as well as the stock ones. But I've replaced three shocks in 1 1/2 years using them.
Np. They are in the area where the nuts and bolts are in Ace hardware and they are small enough the cushion or pivot ball will still function as it should and the regular bolt will work with them
@@phillybrc ya no kidding I was wondering why I couldn't get to my camera last night from this format and it wouldn't do it and idk why at all but I'm glad you lmk that's why cause they won't let you
Quite good! The prob is replacement parts don t mesh with other shocks. I m actually thinking if buying another set and using my old set for spare parts. Real good for bashing. Thank you
@@Stevey1976UK Hi! Those tools are from Amazon, they have since stripped. The ones I use currently are expensive but last years without wear. You know that saying “buy once, cry once”? That applies here…a.co/d/cfo5YnO
@@phillybrc ah ok thank you. Was really hoping to be able to get something to fit in an electric screwdriver/drill as the little Allen key is painfully thin to grip. But these would sort that albeit with a bit of manual work lol. I’ll see if I can get something like this in the UK. Is it the 1.5mm to remove the shocks?
For someone who really doesn't jump the truck much,is there any benefit to the shocks as far as steering?,I honestly love the truck it has metal pivot pins throughout but the steering just lacks imo.everything I've read about servos doesn't seem to aide in the steering...I would like it a lot tighter and more responsive
In terms of steering, I d say your stock shocks would work fine, but to say a better servo does not make a difference…I disagree. I servo with more torque will be able to turn wheels more sharply. This will help muscle through higher-traction, higher-resistance surfaces(like tall grass etc). Does that make sense? Try the Animos or Zoskay blue 25 or 35kg Amazon servo. It does a good job.
@@phillybrc you think as far as the torque in the servo?, everything I've read says there is no real quicker response on the steering with the servo.i honestly think it's just the design...when you look at the steering linkage the travel is really short...with another even 16th of inch of travel it seems like it wouldn't need such a long distance to turn....I have big parking lot I rip around in and at higher speeds it just under steers horrible.this is just all my years of being a fleet mechanic,I'm not a engineer by any means
@@nivin3 Honestly the size is a good match but this would not be an upgrade for you. Stock shocks are betterin my opinion. An upgrade would be 6s Arrma shocks
@@phillybrc Hi its my first branded RC and also a big one. Had smaller Chinese brands before. Before driving around and crashing stuff I thought will install these cheap shocks. Once I'm confident enough I will install back the original Arrma shocks. I'm not sure if I'm doing right but that's my thought...
Ya, sory i didn t show it. I took the shock apart and added a 1/4”-3:8” piece of tubing on the shaft inside the shock body. This limits the travel. Hope this helps. Thanx for watching.
We both broke driveshafts. I realized then, the shocks sre too long and put too much angle on axles. I shortened them with tubing and was much better. Thx for watching till the end!
I performed this upgrade along with the typhon a arms and noticed the cvd axles rub on the a arms due to the height increase. But I modded the shocks with spacers inside and lowered it about a 1/2 inch. I lost ground clearance but this thing is almost impossible to roll now and no longer pops wheelies when you gun it. It straight up launches now. No regrets.
Agree completely!! It’s still my favorite mod! I also note in the description that I also add tubing to shorten their travel. Thanx for watching the video Dustin! More like this to come! I just got a 6s Arrma also, so look out for those instructionals too. Thanx man
They actually look like decent shocks for the price. The stock Granite shocks have a damper length of 102 mm and proline sells a set of front shocks and they are 101mm. The ZD front shocks are 120 mm in length. I guess the extra travel helps. IDK really but you have a video for shortening the shocks so I better check that out. 👍👍
@PhillyB_RC Have you had any issues with these leaking yet and if so what do you recommend to do to fix leaking? I have them on my big rock and 2 are leaking for sure, one in front and another in rear
Oh shoot! These are new to you right? I ve had one leaker a couple weeks ago, but yet to look inside. Be sure not to over-tighten the cap…it will squeeze the ring too much. I did hear some guys were plugging the air hole with a dab of epoxy or something similar….

Cool video....my big rock shock rods just came off the rod end yesterday...bodged it so it's running again. These could be a nice alternative...it's been 3 months since you posted this...are they still performing?
Well, the Vorteks shocks are shorter. I would try by shortening the travel by putting some thin airline tubing on the shafts within the shocks. Just cut the tubing the length you d like to lose. My guess is about 3/4”. Thanx for watching
I think they’re all the same or mostly but I took apart some Amazon OGRC granite shocks and was suprised to see a nice dampener with a nut on top as opposed to a dampener sandwiched with two e clips . Those are the absolute worst design imo , China junk on the Rlaarlo Omni has the e clips and they break all the time . Anyways for $30 some OGRC shocks are legit , big bore whatever they’re called . Totally fit the bill for my granite . The only other thing I’m adding is a center brace for the top and a globact alum steering thingy if I gets bad . Rubber or rings for the turnbuckles keeps em nice and non rattling . I seen dudes using m6 washers but the orange are defintely hands down better imho
Cool, you will have a jacked Granite soon! The big bore shore did well, but didn t find spare parts. I guess buying a couple extra for parts would ve been a good idea. Thx for the input
@@phillybrc they are a definite improvement on the stock shocks. Hopefully I've just had one that a letdown when it comes to leaking. Thankfully amazon seller is replacing it for me 😃

You gain tons of height because you now have a full inch of down travel on the suspension vs before you had no down travel. If you preload the new shocks you will gain an inch of height.
Yes, but it was too much height, I didn t like it so I decided to shorten. I’ve also learned the importance of chassis slap since then. Thanx for watching.
No, I have not. Truthfully, I don t know which way to go with it. Between uncertainty and parts availability, we are still sloppy. Stay tuned, I need to donsomething soon! LOL. Thanx for watching.

Hi fellow Canadian
Hi Scott, where are you from?
@@phillybrc Windsor Ontario. How about you?
@@ScottMcLinden cool. Welland. Near Niagara Falls
You gain tons of height because you now have a full inch of down travel on the suspension vs before you had no down travel. If you preload the new shocks you will gain an inch of height.
Yes, but it was too much height, I didn t like it so I decided to shorten. I’ve also learned the importance of chassis slap since then. Thanx for watching.
good video my new dear friend and like 40
Thank you very much!
Did you ever address the play in the front end you mentioned at th-cam.com/video/HiwwLb1x2BQ/w-d-xo.html ?
No, I have not. Truthfully, I don t know which way to go with it. Between uncertainty and parts availability, we are still sloppy. Stay tuned, I need to donsomething soon! LOL. Thanx for watching.
These shocks went up to 56 bucks now i should have got them when they were cheap haha
Ya, I heard they went up. Probably still worth it...what are the options? Arrma 6s shocks and prolines are $100 for 2, I believe .
@@phillybrc ya for sure. . imma order some for the big rock
@@2blades_rc650 Right on, give them a shot! Let me know how you like them.
3 years later and these shocks are $50. Thanks Trudeau 😠
@@testing3166 right? They were once a bargain!
dang 28$ cdn?, i cant find them for less than 45$ on amazon.ca
I’ve just added the link to the video! It seems the price does vary. I found that also before I made the purchase , just keep your eye on them! Thanx for watching !
Cheaper on ebay
@@3dPrince4u Since I live in Canada I don t ebay at all due to shipping fees. Let me know how you like those shocks. thx!
