    I’ve had the same experience with lifting these SCX24 rigs. Most of the time stock out performs the mod rig. One thing some locals do is relocate the shocks like you did and then remove the springs. This gives you the greater articulation without the high center of gravity. I’m going to try that mod on one of mine soon to see what it does. BTW the C10 and JLU rigs respond very very well to shock relocation. Deadbolt not so much. Great video thank you! I’ll try to catch up with the rest of your vids.

      Cheers mate welcome to the channel pleasure to have you on board the collection has grown a bit since this vid we have a C10 totally agree the mod works well on those and Betty I like to put a drop of oil in and turn the shocks upside down can't remember if that's in this video thank you for watching and commenting very appreciated 👊

    I hear if you take out the upper link part of the suspension(because it's a triangle it makes you only really have a 3 link suspension)and replace it with the ones in the bag of spare parts u can make an actual 4 link and get the flex that you are looking for. All u have to do extra is cut the driveshaft from the bag to make your front driveshaft work. It also brings the front rear out to the front further. Nice test and good ideas to bring up the suspension 👍

      changing one part of suspension geometry usually means adjusting something else, it's a balancing act of climb and Anti-climb around your center of Gravity

      @RCU IN THE SHED it's easy to install...drive shaft extension and links for front. But connecting new links in place of they Y link takes a little dremeling on the servo cage ..otherwise it's straight forward. U can reuse the ball joints u already have. And u may need 2 brass ones from leftover stock shocks...any ball joint will work.

    What a great little test.
    They are certainly top heavy and roll over easily.

  • @LEVARIOMIKE
    @LEVARIOMIKE 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If your shocks are to bouncy try putting a piece of masking tape around the top ,so the spring has more friction when moving . I did this to my SCX 24 but I'm using the stock shocks from my RGT Adventure on it. And it helps. Best part it's free if you have tape already.

    You also shortened the wheelbase on the red one by raising the chassis height. That's why it climbed right over the block and the green one high centered.

    • @rcuintheshed6981
      @rcuintheshed6981  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's absolutely correct it does shorten the wheelbase when you raise it that much but you also loose power to the wheels by increasing the angle on your drive shafts and uni joints cheers for watching and leaving a comment 👍👊💯

      When I moved the suspension mounts it tipped way to easy compared to the stock one in every comparison video I did the stock performed better best thing I did was move the mounts back to stock tip the shocks upside down add oil and wheel weights best performance I've found so far I've ordered alloy shocks the should arrive any day I'll do a video on those to see how they perform cheers for watching and leaving a comment 👊👍💯
