Thank you for watching!! It's been a great truck for me so far, but one more thing to add to the list if you do the spring swap on the shocks while they are off glue the shock tops on, they don't screw on and after you take them apart a few times the are loose and will come apart when driving!!😁😁
Get one of those wire bread ties (that paper wrapped wire keeping your loaf of bread from drying out). Twist one end of the wire around the bottom end of the shock absorber then compress the shock by hand then twist the other end of the wire around the other end of the shock. You should have a compressed shock absorber with a wire running down the side of it. Fit t& shock in place (with the wire facing out), drive in the bottom screw, adjust the axle to where the top of the shock is level with the screw hole. Drive in remaining screw...*clip-clip-clip* and the wire is gone to allow the shock absorber to do what it was intended to do.
Hello Gerry, thank you for your helpful videos. But can you also tell us how the driving behavior has changed as a result? Does he jump with the harder springs or does he drive more harmoniously as a result??? Is he still bouncing? Do you only do the 1st axis with it or all 4 axes? One of your fans from Germany

Hey Guillaume! I use a airbrush or spray paint brown and tan very light spray. Sometimes i use a fan spray in front toward truck, you know thats a good topic for a video! Its easier to show then type, stay tuned!
Bro I really am confused on all these HG's models ...801..802...803...806 ... Bro I really don't know what's the difference in all those numbers ...can you make an specific video on it .. explaining what's the difference in all of those ..plz ..I am big fan of all those reviews you do ..so plz
Thx bro I was hoping for the same ....bro u have bought these all rc's from some store or all from online Shopping shites ...plz link the best online Shopping shite for all those ausome stuffs bro b really enjoy those little working creations running ..thx
Hello again, i just got mine today, i see where it is a bit close, and it also sits lower in the front, so i will do this too, should i do the other shocks that are in the front so it sits more level? Also do you have to bind this? I don't have my battery yet.
I just did the front 2 shocks to level the front. I haven't noticed sag in the rear yet, even with a load. I did put 4 total on the 802 so it's level when pulling a trailer! But if you do get the heavier shocks make sure you glue on the shock top, with the weight of the truck and driving over rough terrain the tops sometimes will pop off! I haven't had to bind any of mine but you never know. The books it comes with are a bit hard to read but have alot of good info.
Hello, Gerry, I have another question about these trucks do you know how to fix the cable steering I bought some servos and I can't get the cables to pull like they should

No one released how hard it is living in a wheelchair or going through having a stroke and 2 heart attack and getting to tell someone that some how you made it through them I gest it my love for rc and pople like you two sorry if I talk to much thank you for your time
Fred i can only imagine the difficulty, my nephew is in a chair his whole life can only communicate with a computer! So stay strong and talk to me anytime you want you are no bother at all, we share a love of rc and that makes us brothers ❤
I know it's been lone times because of the pandemic. Still there are way more enjoyable and less desperate ways to comunicate with others instead of wasting their time with something that can be said with just ONE sentence. You seem nice but 13 Minutes and 15 Seconds to tell "replace the front Damper Springs of the P802 with the Damper Springs used at the P806, because they are made from thicker wire"... damn, this Vid is sooooooo much ado about nothing Ol'Chatterbox. btw: there are many models besides the P-Series and even RCs in different scales and for different specialised actions, but 90% of them do have one thing in common... a littel gap for an otherwise hard to rech area... Yes, it is there for that one specific reason. In your case: the Front Steering Bucket has a gap for damper maintenance.
Hello Valentin, thank you for that extremely long and thorough comment! I see that you must have not seen what my channel is all about. Many of my viewers are new into rc, new to hg or just like to learn new things. This video is about the process not just the tip! Many viewers request videos just to see how to do something specific!! Maybe check the comment section next time before leaving such a comment, while I appreciate you viewing not so much the China virus statement!
@@gerrysoldguyreviewI guess I could have been more friendly... good on you to see the productive critisism anyway... in short: I belive such viz could be much more enjoyable ... for new audience as well ... if they started of with a short description of what is about to happen... for example: "the HG80X's damper strech is of by factury default. Best/Easyest way to fix this is by replacing its spring. this is how it's done and where to get the necessary spareparts"... after all it's not ment to be a mystery box but a maintenace aid ;) cheers mate

I'm just glad your using jack stands. You should never work under a vehicle without them! Great video and nice mod
Thanks, safety first!! Thats my motto🤣🤣

Thanks for watching!!😁😁
Saya suka hobby yang seperti ini. Dapat menghibur, suasana jadi mengasikan
Thanks??? Sorry it didn't translate
Awesome tip Gerry!
Too bad they're not 'oil fillable'.
I suppose they can be changed 🤔
Thanks buddy!! Things can be arranged!🤣🤣
@@gerrysoldguyreview Most definitely :). I might as well look at the 602's shocks while i'm at it lol
They are smaller maybe they have oil?

Hello bu Nasir! The 803 has 111.02mm tires the zetros has 100.12mm tires, not sure about rear duals they are already pretty close but they might work!
Sorry I dont have the dump or the nash!
So, that’s what the hubbub is about…TY for the great video, the best part of my day..peace out..:)
Hey buddy! Glad to see you drop by and thank you!
@@gerrysoldguyreview much love bro
Great video again Gerry,love to see you working on those hg trucks,merry christmas buddy
Thanks bub!! And a merry Christmas to you also 😁😁
Hi Gerry. Did you just order the stiffer springs from HG? Great video.
No sir, I have the hg806 trailer and the shock springs are heavier! But they are the same shocks that banggood has.
i think i will finally get one ,and the trailer.
Great if you do get the light kits installed, adding them later is a pain!!😆😆
Great video👍 got the same idea about the spring before but not really sure its going to works . now i know😂
Thanks Niccc, glad I could help!!
Its funny how the shocks don't do much on the trailer, but work great on the trucks!!
Nice Gerry ! That's a shame I didn't have trailer shocks to do this mod :(
They do sell them separately, but I've only seen them on banggood!

How much are this going for?
799, 899 if buying in the US or you can sometimes find them at banggood for 550 to 599.
Yeah, because the real 8x8 trucks are known for not having articulation when off road. WOW.
Hemtt's are haulers not very good at serious off road, helped get many unstuck in the army 🙄
