- Cheap upgrade time! :)
I am fixing up this MST RMX2.0s as an "RC Drift Rescue Mission" for a friend.
While looking it over, noticed one of the shocks was bent/binding.
Went with this Yeah Racing QUTUS damper set (amzn.to/3ptcZNY) because the price was really reasonable and a guy at our local track had tried them and was happy.
All I can say - ME TOO!
They assemble great, have some nice features, and work very smoothly!
A budget alternative for drift shocks for sure!

Another awesome video. Those dampers looked awfully short. But they have such adjustability.
Thanks!
I think they could benefit from some longer rod-ends for sure. It would at least partially cheat the length and help them out.
Yeah racing sell a set for "touring cars" in 60mm length. The springs they come with are a bit stiff for drifting but should fit your stock springs which will work great
That is a really good tip!
Hi Friend! Thank you for your great sharing.🙏
Have a nice weekend!👍46
Thank you! You too!
Great review @roadsiderc you explained my thoughts exactly. I've been using these dampers for about 6 months now and with a little bit of tuning they're a great value proposition over some of the more expensive options. The only difference I had while assembling is that I used Associated green goo to seal the bottom O ring instead of the shock oil.
Thanks for the content. Another great vid.
Thanks!
I really do need to get some green goo for as many shocks as I build.
@@RoadsideRC I can't recommend it enough. I have had zero leakage and they feel just as fresh as when I built them.
Something you didn't cover in the video that I did was sanding the burrs off of all the stuff on the plastic trees. This really helped with the overall smooth feel of the damper.
Again though they're a fantastic value over a lot of dampers with less features.
As allwase great information thanks for sharing your thoughts ✌
Thank you!
amazing information assembling those shocks Troy
*heres our like👍Au👍always a full watch*
Awesome thank you!
Thanks for sharing 👍👍
Thanks for visiting!
They are great shocks I got them on the RRX with 15wt shock oil and the adjustable 6 hole piston it is smooth 👍👍 I also used a Mst shock ends that come with a 5.0 shock end using that I got an overall size of 60mm
Great idea on the rod end!
@@RoadsideRC the part number on amain is MXS-820055 if you use em you dont have to change the stock shock mount on the bottom cause it keeps it as same diameter 👍
Hey there getting into rc drift world by watching your video awesome tips and content dude.keep it up.recently got this shock for my sakurad5 kit.ive been fooling around with the spring and shock.and yes the spring are to soft and to hard.
Btw a driver in training here
Glad my videos have been helpful!
If you have any questions - feel free to ask!
@@RoadsideRC hi there,hope you doing fine.i have a question about shock position.
i found out some japanese rcdrifter attached their shock upside down.is it gonna make any different than puting it regularly.
its confused meh.cheers friend.
@@lumen2161 No difference. Some thing it helps the shock not leak.
Hey Lumen I also have a Sakura D5 and my dampers are way to stiff what oil did you end up using to make them smooth?
Looks amazing
Thanks!
The 6 hole adjustable piston is better. You also can change the hole of the pistons buy pulling the rod ends and twisting so it's easier to change without taking the shock apart. Just count the clicks.
Yes! That is a very fancy feature for sure.
I recommend using yokomo blue orings. It's a night and day difference.
Thanks!
Recomended by someone on our local track.for me who just started and been abusing the factory d5 shock.i can say those blue oring does feel different
Совет. Если развернуть на 180 градусов красный держатель мотора и просверлить дополнительное отверстие для крепление , то это поможет сместить мотор ближе к задней оси.
Спасибо за совет!
Merry Christmas 🎄
Quick question, shall I just drill 8x holes and don’t bother with adjustable feature?
It came with 300cst oil what hole thickness would be best?))
There is no one "best" answer. It is all up to you and tuning your shocks for your vehicle. Any answer I give you (or anyone else on the internet) will be wrong. Test and tune!
@@RoadsideRCroger that 🫡
awesome video👍🏻
Thank you 👍
I’ve heard people running no oil and tune the shocks with the springs
Afro RC he's a seller for yokomo he recommends no oil he has a build video where he's building out a car and he talks about it he also talks about how back in the day they used to drill holes and pistons but he has some drifting experience in the 1 to 1 world very knowledgeable man
I hear this...but I don't see anyone successful in my area doing it.
good 👍👍👍
Thank you 👍
Just got a rms 2.5. will these work with that model? Also does anyone have any other recommended upgrades? Im a complete noob. And is there any installation videos?
Did you get the RTR?
Honestly - the stock MST shocks are rather good.
Here is upgrade #1, a good controller: th-cam.com/video/SNdZXEDZ0p0/w-d-xo.html
Then - put a better gyro on it: th-cam.com/video/R3p2w6Ahntw/w-d-xo.html
Then start removing weight: th-cam.com/video/5qivCTUjRgQ/w-d-xo.html
Nice video, I just bought the mst rmx 2.5, hoping the factory shocks are good
They should be for awhile. All moving parts start to wear eventually.
Great upgrade from awesome company. Amazing video my friend. Subscribing for more RC shenanigans
Thanks 👍
Hey Troy, I followed your guide perfectly, but my front shocks don't bounce back. They stay down. Can you give me any advice?
There must be something binding, or causing extra friction.
Check the pistons to make sure they slide smoothly up and down. Should take almost zero force.
SIR PLEASE HELP WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MST 56 AND THE 60(just the size)?
Just total length.
Go with the 60
@@RoadsideRC THANKYOU SIR 🇬🇧🇺🇲🕊️✌🏻👍🏻
I have bought these shocks because of your excellent video.
But how do I attach the nuts that follow to the shocks? I can't seem to get them to fit inside the holes and I'm afraid to use excessive force and break something. I hope you can find the time to help me.
To clarify: I cannot get the ball end to fit in the hole.
The rod ends must create threads, so they are very stiff.
Using a good set of shock pliers to hold the rod still helps a lot as well.
@RoadsideRC i explained myself poorly and see you didn't see my clarification. I mean the ball ends to you screw into the car
Looks good man I'm on the fence of buying the aluminum MST upgrade for mine I can say this though my buddy just got a yokomo that I put together for him and I like the diaphragm seal that goes under the top of the cap it's transparent so you can tell if you have any air trapped underneath of it
That is a cool trick actually! I do like that.
I put the TR60 shocks from MST on my previous RMX and they did really well.
What oil weight
It comes with oil in the kit. I do not remember the weight.
Dammit......why didn't this video pop up in my recommended list??? Just had a 3racing big bore set shipped.....else would be getting this instead -_-
Ha! Happens all of the time.
The 3Racing shocks are good also.
Quick question. Would the QUTUS work on a YD2Z ? I saw “M chassis” in the description and wasn’t sure. Thanks.
Yes - they will work well.
Very nice and informative video!! I have a spring set from Trackstar but I can't get the car to sit in the middle, for example if I rise the front it stays up and when I push it down stays almost bottomed out, my links are moving freely, how would you get the car sit in the middle..? Thank you!
Sounds like your shocks are sticking. Try rebuilding them and looking for any drag or issues with smooth movement.
@@RoadsideRC Thank you! I am going to give it a refresh and hope it works nicely!
I have an RMX im building with a top mounted motor setup and MB rear setup. Just picked up some Qutus shocks and im still waiting on them to be delivered but I cannot figure out how to setup the ride height. Do you have any tips or maybe a video I could watch
Good news! Ride height is one of the more basic settings.
My changing the length of the shock rod end, and by adjusting the spring pre-load - both are easy ways to change your ride height.
@@RoadsideRC thanks for the tip. I noticed when I went with the top mounted motor setup that my rear was sagging alot like almost slammed and the rebound from the dampers was not as good. Love your content!
I had got these and the problem I had was that the shocks were very sticky
Interesting, mine are butter smooth.
They are sticky and can benefit with o rings, o ring lube, and axon shock oil
How does the spektrum TX and rx work for you?? Getting into the drift scene and I'd like to use my current TX and buy a new rx only. Would really like your input!
The key for me is the DX5 allows you to assign the random switches on the controller to whatever channel you want. This allowed me to assign one of them to the Aux1 on the receiver, and allows you to control that channel in both the positive (+) and negative (-) directions.
For the Futaba GYD450 gyro that I prefer, this is HUGE. It unlocks a key feature for that gyro.
Special preview for you: th-cam.com/video/-eG3wRmZjW8/w-d-xo.html
@@RoadsideRC would you say it works well for drifting or would investing in another Tx be needed?
So would you recommend the yeah racing 60 mm big bore go damper version instead of the 55mm qutus for the rmx. I'm thinking about getting the RMX 2.0 And want to get some better looking shocks when I get it. I'm really into the customizing side and making it look good That's the only reason I would switch them lol
It could use longer shocks for sure. I have not used the yeah racing big bore shocks, so hard to say specifically.
The QUTUS is just an evolution of the Big Bore Go dampers but offers much easier shock piston tuning versus the BBG which you would have to do traditionally by removing the “Jesus clips” and swapping out the piston. That’s the big difference with the QUTUS (which stands for “QUick TUning System”; QUTUS).
The Big Bore Go is basically their pre-assembled, ready to go damper set. It’s exactly like the QUTUS, apart from the piston and it’s pretty much a drop-in replacement and all you do is add the oil, be it the 300cst that comes with them or a weight of your choice.
Otherwise, it’s the same between them. Same springs, collars, diaphragm, shock ends, etc. The shock body, shafts and pistons are the only things that aren’t the same.
Do be advised that the 50mm and 55mm parts are interchangeable between them. Not sure about the 60mm.
As for which length to get, that depends on the ride height you want. The MST stuff like many other 1/10 touring cars, are set at 55mm. Go higher if you need more dampening or shorter if you want your car low. In either direction, do so at 5mm increments.
Hope this helps.
The holes you drilled in the piston, was it in the top disc or bottom?
Through both.
@@RoadsideRC with the adjustable setting discs.
Do you have any advice on which I choose to drill?
I would do it just like I showed in the video.
@@RoadsideRC the metal spacer on top of the first e clip.
I don't have them, what mm width is the spacer as I have a box of spacers
$95 canadaian 😞
Doh! Danged prices!
First 😂
Thanks!
Just got these in the mail for my Redcat rds. Any recommendations or tips? I plan to get 3 different shock oil weights with intentions on maximizing visible body roll.
Do you think my goals will tend toward a light spring with thick oil and zero rebound?
I’ve tried 5,10, and 15w shock oil with oem shocks and springs…….. and it hasn’t really provided the effect I’m looking for. I even cut 1 and 2 coils off the oem springs just to see what it would do in relation to shock spring mount holes. I have everything straight up and down right now.
For the load transfer you are looking for - you want a long shock and a very lightweight spring. That is why your current setup hasn't worked - you need a long and soft spring.
Good luck!
