What’s up!
Just trying to be factory like you 😎
What a great video. Great timing! We all could be a little bit faster right 🥸
your pretty much the last rc car channel i watch, your content is awesome and your not gloating about new junk and showing off. just humble racer with awesome lessons and tips
Been Replacing and Rebuilding Shocks since 1993 on my RC10T. So explained how i been doing it Good video.
I know this is a 3 year old video, but I did everything he said to do to my shocks and whoa. Seriously. Whoa. My car is butter........
Thanks Ryan!!
Oh man those pistons, absolutely love the idea of tunable compression
I wish there was an RC channel as good as yours for onroad. the closest thing is a pay channel. Thanks for taking the time to put all this info out here.
This is something people don’t spend enough time perfecting, makes such a huge difference.
For the new guy just getting into RC Racing I really appreciate your videos. Thank You
Is very nice to see a pro help people go fast , preventative maintenance and attention to detail is the key to happiness in any motorsport. Well played sir.
Good ole Ken Peterson is quite a talented guy AND he's fast too!
Good plug for Team Rattlecan products!
I’ve been into Bashers for yrs but just started 1/10 2wd Buggy Racing I’ve learned so much from your videos Cheers Mate! 👍
Ryan gets it. Likes and subs well earned. Thank you Professor RC. 🏆🎥
Thanks. I've already watched this video. But ,I was working on my carpet car and watched the speed secrets again..thanks for the honesty on the parts and set ups...
I am now and forever will be chasing that buttery suspension!
I learn something new every time you have one of these videos. Thanks
I like your Brasso idea, I think I’ll do it. Just remember, Brasso is a very fine abrasive, so try to get all of it off.
And don’t get it on your skin , major problems
My second viewing and I got so much more from it. Thanks, You certainly helped me realize that simply going to a stiffer spring isn't the first thing to do! Great video!
RC drifting is a new hobby for me and I run my Yokomo on a concrete track that is in a shared public space that can get dirty, a great video to help rebuild my car with some helpful tips thank you!
Solid color bringing back the essence of the JRX2? If only there were yellow five spoke wheels available.
Just a temp body until get time to paint up my scheme on some fresh lids!
I use powdered graphite for a lot of this. Pack it in so dirt won’t replace it. Never had issues, it’s always kept everything lubricated and protected.
Great video. My only suggestion is to include a segment that shows the acceptable wear between ballstuds and ballcups. I think a lot of people would find that helpful with regards to rebuilding or replacing those components. Thanks!
I’m loving the longer vid. Thanks Ryan
Cheers for the oil change? I was quite surprised how intricut it really is, cleaning hinge pins etc, thanks for all that quite interesting. Peace Shaun.👍
I'm really getting into the hobby and am learning a lot about different things. I'm a basher but can def incorporate your tips into keeping my rigs jumping high and flipping fast. Thanks for your vids.
I have a pit stand with holes like that. I can always add more. It measures 4 x 4 x 6....i also have a 6 foot fence post in my garage that is only 5ft 6 long now.
That stand is a badass idea, time to buy some aluminum and make one
You ride dirt bikes too !
A man after my own heart .
I love Dirt bikes and RC, but how do you afford it all. I haven't raced dirt bikes in years, but only because I can't afford to😊
I am new back into this after 25(?) years off, but loved seeing that polishing hinge pins is still a thing! Back in the day I used flitz polish on 1500 or 2000 grit sandpaper.
Thanks, Ryan, I’m fairly new at rc hobby, my son in law got me started 3 years ago, we got a small flat track in my back yard, I’m 65 years young, so this is a little hard for me, I thought you wanted a rebound on the shocks, can’t wait to try your technique out on track, thanks again, love your videos, Tony
so did i, i'm very confused
Thanks Ryan , love the longer vid , as always , love your work and passion . Thanks to you and your earlier vids I’ve now go a b6d , a B74 and recently a b6.2d . All second hand , and been learning so much from your vids . Had my first race a few weeks ago , didn’t go to plan , qualified 3rd in 2wd and broke the rear shock tower in the first main , then in the rush and hype , cooked my esc in my 4wd by hooking it up backwards , something I will not do twice ( hopefully 😂) . Has taken nearly 2 years to get to this point , but you and your vids have played a huge part in me getting to where I am now . Thank you Ryan .
What , the , f!!!!! 😧
Can you show how your setup 22x4 buggy
Ryan thank you for the. Ideas I just started on the hobby I just got the TLR 22x4 elite and I can’t find the tool hex size to adjust the rod. If you can share the size will be great
Oh man... haven’t even watched yet and I am sooooo stoked you did this video Ryan!!! New racer here and this is GREATLY NEEDED!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Bring that traveling workshop up to Detroit when ready! I'll help in any way I can.
Thanks this really help for my b 74
Just got back into the race a couple of months ago and your videos have all been in someway informative to me. I just wanted to say thank you and keep these videos coming Ryan. 🙏
Definitely a great video.. I'll be having plenty of time to rebuild the cars while I recover from knee replacement surgery. Keep up the great work Sir!
Best of luck to you and your recovery!
@@RyanHarrisRC thank you sir!
Ryan is one of the best presenters out there.
nice to see you went with the transparent watch again!
I miss the 'Wall-of-cars' tho :(
I am hoping to get my shelf of cars to look a bit better if that helps lol
@@RyanHarrisRC loving that presenting of your cars, maybe just a bit of a angle while storing them?
greetings from over the pond from your Patreon Jan ;)
added to my list of things this weekend before we start racing again.
This is perfect, thanks. I'm re-starting my RC life from the mid-90s with a re-re Schumacher Top Cat (before renovating my original TA01 Escort RS) and this is going to help give it the spruce it deserves. Like the vibe in the workshop there, too. Stylish and comfy. Now to source similar lubes and polish here in the UK!
Also returning after being one of the kids in the mid-80's when I had an Optima (pre-belt, pre-mid) and my buddy went Hornet -> Falcon -> whatever that first Losi buggy was (when we started they were pretty much just making motors). This time I almost went Cougar Classic but landed on a Yz-2 cal3,1 as the Cougar was backordered and the Yokomo was mid-motor and on-sale big-time. Those were the brands I coveted back then so either will do for me. Also loving Ryan's content as I return to this hobby.
MIP bypass pistons rock.
Kinda off topic.
Great video! 👍
In the UK we don't have Nevr-Dull but isn't it just a metal polish? The same a Brasso is a metal polish? Thanks
New sub. Just found your channel. You explain things very well and clearly. I am grateful. TY and best wishes.
Lol Flying Cars paint job. Nice video!
Loving all this content... Can't even apply it right now due to a lot of transitions, but I'm soaking it up... Thank you for sharing sich useful and detailed support!
A very informative video there thanks! Helped me in preparation of checking my truck shocks
Good info for a smooth car Ryan. Well done.
Ryan thank you so much for the tips and all the awesome videos you make
I am happy to say that I finally got into a club and I will have my first ever 1/10th scale carpet race! Beginers class here I come 😁
Where you at now? Still racing?
@@jcobra09 I have been racing up until December. Took a 4 month break because of my driving license :)
Regarding said buggy I have sold it and bought a Schumacher KC Laydown and tuned it to it's maximum potential. While I was away I have practiced a bit in VRC, I have got better in the virtual environment, hopefully it translates to the real world nicely :D
You would make an awesome teacher. Great video with great information, observations, and explanations.
The solid-colored body is cool!!
Great video. I’m a airplane guy and just now getting into the car stuff. Picking up my Losi mini B to start with this weekend. Learned a ton even if it doesn’t pertain to that car. You earned a subscriber for sure. Looking forward to watching other videos from you.
I use 0000 super fine steel wool in my hinge pins with the pin in a drill chuck the same way. 0000 steel wool is perfect and a 1 step process, provides a nice clean and polish.
Another great vid Ryan, nice touch at the end mentioning everyone that helps out.
Ryan! Have you ever used a tire balancer? You should make a video about it please
I do not use them, sorry dude
Awesome video. Question. I have a Redcat Racing Shredder XTE V2 and I was wondering how to properly bleed the shocks. They do not have bleed screws just 2 piece caps (metal outer cap with plastic inner and o-ring attached..
i do the same thing with my hinge pin in nitro 1/8 scale. i use Mother Chrome shine. it works well. i am going to start the same in my 1/10 scale program. what good cigars do you have in the humidor?
This was great all these lite things come together get u closer to winning I learned couple things . Thanks till the next one
Hey Ryan ! Why did you have no rebound on your shocks ? I always thought you should have Quarter inch of rebound ?!
I always set mine to zero for more consistent behavior
Hey Ryan, seen quite a few of your videos now, and I would like to say thankyou. Always learn something and you clearly put a lot of effort into your RC and your videos, a big time commitment.
Awesome videos brotha great explaination on alll of your videos and easy to understand with your tricks and tips
you mentioned in another video racing a quicker guy where you had their same setup yet your shocks were less smooth and putting power down in the rear tyres. Compared to the start and now how much difference would you be able to tell driving with refreshed shocks?
Great video, the suspension pre load on my car when setting ride height usually isnt the same on both sides when trying to set ride height equal 🤔 what is the likley reason ? Weight distribution ? I measure the shock lengths with vernier calipers
You mentioned the game changer shock pistons and I checked there website, but they have a lot of different sizes for the tlr 22 5. If I may ask, for someone who is still relatively new, what is the difference in the sizes and what should I be looking for and avoid?
Ryan do you have any videos on slipper clutch adjustments?
Check out White Diamond metal polish, it's hands down the best polish.
Just a thought! Mic drop at the end just like Kevin Talbot! Haha
What about some Collaborative Videos with other RC Channels? I see other YT channels doing that with some good success! Just a thought, keep up all the great RC content!
Do you hand polish the new hinge pins or shock shafts before installing them?
I polish everything on the drill even when new!
"My painter is getting lazy"
The body is one solid color 😂
Hey Ryan - more great tips 👌 - the science that is RC engineering! 🔬🔧
One thing I struggle with is - how much is too much play? I don’t know whether you could create a video to demonstrate this question - not just hinge pin / wishbone related but ball stud and bearings. Thank you 👍
Yer the man Ryan! Such an inspiration to us all. I've always used Brasso on my shock shafts, but also on the Hinge Pins. I just learned about the Never Dull stuff. Thanks bro!
I like the Neverdull on the hinge pins as it seems to be slightly more aggressive and help take the gunk off more efficiently!
@@RyanHarrisRC Cool and right on! I've always used the scotch pad and Brasso. I'll try it out!
Thanks for the awesome tips 👍
Nice car stand 😀
Thanks for the tips! Keep on ripping my friend,looking forward to the next video!!!!
Awesome video Ryan, thank you! I love your meticulous nature and attitude combined with a fervent love for what you do presented in such a simple, logical, straightforward and down to earth way. No, I don't think I could get any more adjectives in there if I tried! I shall be rewatching this as I go through the same process with my shocks. 👍
Nice detail in the vid. Fab work mate
Hey Ryan, why do we see so many bashers using dual rate shocks (I.E. proline powerstroke shocks) but no racers?
Are the benefits of the dual rate shocks a placebo effect?
What do you clean the shock bodies with? Simple green? "Motor" spray? Soap and water?
I wash them with simple green!
Great sharing Ryan, good timing, thanks for sharing. one question, should we apply any lub to the polished hinge pin?
Thanks for the tips and great content as always.
Good to see a video from you again, my man!
I find it interesting how you have the rebound faster than compression. I normally set up my on road cars the other way around with the rebound slower than compression, I find it makes the car less "bouncy".
The challenge in off-road is blowing through stroke on landings. Don’t think you have to deal with that issue in on road 😉
Hey Ryan I know you’re sponsored by Raw speed but is that a Jconcepts body on your car and I went to beachline and that track is so fun
Pretty sure that's a rawspeed body, follow u on tiktok btw
@@edwinwx260 nice thx dude I wasn’t sure
It is the RS-2 from Rawspeed!
@@RyanHarrisRC oh ok I thought it was a jcon f2 super fast body
Hey Ryan your videos are awesome, keep up the great content!
I find pumping Xray T4 shocks always introduces new bubbles into the shock - how so? did I do anything wrong?
Hey Ryan! 😄
Does shock o-rings expand overtime and can grab the shock shaft to hard making it cant move freely?
Because when i compress the suspension on my car it doesnt want to rebound.. Just stays full compression.
I checked all the moving connecting parta and it moves very very freely. And i polished the hinge pins.. Thankyou Ryan 🔥
Would a vacuum pump for removing the air from the shocks be useful?
Hi Ryan, thank you for the video. Learned something. Quick question on the electric driver you are using. What is the make and model and would your recommend same or different?
What's up man. Why don't you use that never dull on the shock shafts but instead use the paste?
Great tips! I really appreciate you sharing this with us!
Very nice video Ryan, would like to ask, as you build the aeration shocks with fully pushed in piston rod: Clear you have zero rebound by this, but is your shock also sucking the rod in from full extended length? Couldn´t really spot it in the video!
Same question, any thoughts? Mine do retract back in and I can’t figure it out. Two of the four do so. Any idea would be great
As a basher I appreciate your meticulous ways, but... No way in hell am I doing any of that hahaha.
@birdfoodguitaralt4902 I fix things when they break... And even then only sometimes hahaha drugs would be a cheaper hobby by far!
The detail to precision you dont even need, but the general maintenance and keeping things durable and functioning is for sure helping you… if you “dont care” then why not drive a suspentionless walmart rc..? Because performance is more fun.
@birdfoodguitaralt4902for real! Just last night I lost 2nd in an amain race because my set screw in my center rod came loose
@Synic08 I keep up pretty well on my Losi Baja Rey just for the fact it keeps the suspension smooth like it should be. I didn't clean the front for awhile at first and it would get stuck in a lower position in the front. But after I clean the pins and arms out it was soooo smooth again.
Cavitation for sure!😊
hey are you going to be at the race in Lake City Fl this weekend?
I’ll be at the Snaphard series in Tampa!
Any chance we will see some 1/8th scale content coming?
As a newbie, could you put together something that shows how a new person can go about picking the right parts for a person just getting into racing. I am sitting with a TLR 22DC 5.0 with nothing in it because of making sure I do research to find the right parts. Btw, awesome content!
So do u check your shock oring stack height to equalize shaft tension from the orings and have them at under 20 grams of force to move the shock shaft through the oring portion without the piston on. Untill i see a rc guy showing that shit he dont go to hard on a rebuild. high speed steel Drill blanks work great for hinge pins also.
Should be No rebound after filled oil, right?
Rebounc just spring effect?
What Losi car is that? I have an old school TLR 22-4 2.0 and I absolutely love this car
Great video. I’m relatively new to the hobby and not massively clued up with suspension but aren’t the shock shafts supposed to slowly push back out or is that only when there’s a bladder in the end cap?
They need the bladder AND the oil :)
