I know this is an older upload but i do enjoy your how to videos that are still help full today . One thing about these front shock spacers you didnt use , you were suppose to pop the balls out of the shock caps and the stepped down portion on the spacer goes in their place , the top of the shock will be stiffer but that might be good or bad , Have a great day ..
@@NiteShade_BZ it could have possibly been due to running the LCG chassis……but the holes in the chassis should be in exactly the same place as the stock HCG chassis
Those “spacers” that came with the kit were supposed to go into the shock in-place of the ball joint in the top of the shock, that’s why one side is bigger. I know it’s late for this comment but yeah
Ya it’s totally a shame when you order something for a specific rc and they send you random hardware thank goodness you had some extra stuff. Ya and the antenna is annoying too haha I tried to shorten mine and I ruined it haha..
Yeah unfortunately when you buy aftermarket parts they don’t alway have proper fitment. Also when your modifying a bunch of stuff on a rig, sometimes those pieces don’t fit up with the other upgrades parts. I was able to make it work though. When I shortened my antenna I had to glue the cap on lol 😂
I'm probably going to end up needing the same shock tower upgrade, and you're probably going to eventually need to do my next fix, which is stripped out steering servo gears (may be the LCG is less susceptible to this, but I know it's common place for any nylon gear servos). For reference when/if you decide to go metal too... www.amazon.com/dp/B07MXNLKK2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_YYi.FbBA6M5K8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
@@RCKnockout Yeah, I have an old metal gear servo in my OG Stampede from 20 years ago I'll be using in the interim. I myself will eventually slap these gears in the 2075, essentially making it a 2075x, but tearing into servo gears is admittedly not for everyone. I do wonder if that "laid down" orientation of the LCG mount helps to prevent stripping servos like this by modifying the potential force loads on the servo. Those "servo savers" are supposed to help prevent this, but they don't always work, obviously in my situation it didn't :) And I was just about to show you what I did for lights. Darn.
Thanks for the honesty
No problem 😉
Looks sweet
Thanks!

Glad you like them! Thank you for the info too!
That rear tower looks like the one I got for the slash 4x4. Maybe that’s why it didn’t line up? Maybe you go the 4x4 rear tower?
No this one’s definitely a 2wd one….I’m running all RPM shock towers now
@@RCKnockout hmm weird, never had issues with their products even though I prefer strc or hot racing

Lol….definitely a bit late….not running these shock towers anymore actually….thanks though
I had larger bore shocks on mine so it made clearance even more difficult.
Yeah it took quite a bit for me to clearance them too
can you tell me the exact length of the antenna on your 1/16 erevo
I don’t know. Probably 2 inches maybe 2.5. It’s pretty short
@@RCKnockout thanks and I am using the stock tq reciver and transmitter and it works fine
@@cbossplayz3555 really? With the shortened antenna?
@@RCKnockout ya maby buy a long antenna and maby heat it up and bend it to the back under the body
@@cbossplayz3555 that’s what you’re gonna do?
What are we gonna do about that antenna tube? It keeps bending and breaking and losing the little black cap I see yours is gonna do the same
Well I glued mine on so hopefully it’ll stay on for awhile

I haven’t had any issues yet. If I do I’d probably either upgrade to the 2075x or some other metal gear Servo

@@mattfoster1684 bummer. Well you’ll get it fixed up and ripping again! 😉👍
