What mm are they? I was looking at getting 103mm gmade piggy back shocks but I don't want to have to make that custom shock mount, I would like to use the stock mounting system
Following your advice on my x maxx ordered most of the parts you have broken so I have them on hand still have original esc may change it next since money is no problem
Dixiecupdean if you need paper $ you should get your game on $ is everywhere use your skills 😎I have your bail covered if you get busted u can use your rc cars as collateral
You could adjust the spring stiffness if there's adjustment nuts on those shocks I have 130mm on my wraith and they do have adjusters on them man talk about having some serious flex that they have the 130 inabable my wrath to crawl over some pretty gnarly rocky trails.
Soooo what did you change in the front? I did this with same shocks and made same brkts but the front driveshaft comes out at full flex. Well I put a longer 3rd link rod end and now it soesnt fall out but gets all kinda wedged.
U should have left the same shocks on it it does well try droop in the rear of the truck the gmade transtion shocks in the rear 110mm works well my buddy runs them on his truck when we do comps
Kevin, I enjoy your approach to this hobby. It is different. Don't you think Massive shock/suspension flex is not always an advantage? What are your thoughts. I know you like to experiment. Thanks again.
I'm a newbie to this hobby,. and I truly like your tutorial videos thy are very informative, it looks like and you sound like you are working on a real full size truck,. so thank you and I have subscribed to your Channel. So in a couple of weeks you will be getting a question are two, asking for advice so I hope that I don't bug you to much. I have been in the RC flying hobby for year's. So Thanks for your time.
Hi, fantastic modification i must say and I love the longer throw coming from the suspension. However, I encounter another problem. My front wheel will rub the body shell on full right when reversing. And is only when reversing right full lock, left is fine. Wonder if you have any suggestion or recommendation? Many thanks in advance.
Do you have any recommendations for starter RC rock crawlers? I really want one to be the next truck I get. I already have a 1/18 brushless monster truck and a 1990's kyosho 1/10 truck.
Wow! I checked it out and it looks absolutely sweet! Thanks for the recommendation! It will be pretty expensive for me, but once I get a job (I am only 15 and turning 16) with a few weeks' work I can afford it!
Vaterra ascender i have a k10 and a k5 both have copped hard abuse and ive never had a problem with them. Wont beat a trx4 in a race but ive beat one on alot of climbs and they have huge flex from the box
Question what kind of shocks are they? And springs!! I really like the modification you did seems to work flawlessly minus a little adjustment. Big 👍 man. I’m a new subscriber to you and this video caught Eye!!!
It won't be too long, and a company will release a set of mounts, essentially like you just made, for long travel shocks. shockingly, that worked really, really well. not bad at all!
Austin Younts I think he is using the great black sharks on there they have optimal travel and can easily dive to deeper depths in the ocean. Just kidding bro he said he was using a type of hpi crawler shock I don't know the model
I'm going to have to watch the whole thing but you seem educated enough to know your stuff. Searching for more Flex isn't good just for Just about every crawling situation. Let me watch the full video but messing with the stock ride height and lcg hurts performance on my nasty trails
Yep, there's always something better isn't there? Now, you're THAT much closer to "better". It also means you can fit slightly larger tires/tyres in there too.
You've gone from scale drawling to rock climbing! Great flex,cheers mate
Not sure if I would try on my truck but they seem to work pretty good. I like the way you think bro. Cool stuff.
Watching your videos makes me want an RC rock crawler soo bad. I love your videos.
Your going to have a lot more subscribers man you do some cool videos.
He's not wrong
Nailed it
Just over 1M
That aged well
What mm are they? I was looking at getting 103mm gmade piggy back shocks but I don't want to have to make that custom shock mount, I would like to use the stock mounting system
I do this set up only in the rear on my Mog build ,the flex was amazing!
Really Great Kevin! You are really exploring all the possibilitys with this Traxxas truck. Now youve got me thinking about getting one
Following your advice on my x maxx ordered most of the parts you have broken so I have them on hand still have original esc may change it next since money is no problem
Robert Mercer loan me a little bud.
Dixiecupdean if you need paper $ you should get your game on $ is everywhere use your skills 😎I have your bail covered if you get busted u can use your rc cars as collateral
Awesome! I have never seen a TRX4 with more flex. Really mega cool !
Damn that’s sweet man! The travel was awesome great work.
Best looking trx4 I've seen especially with that much travel. You seen the new sport model. Looks like yours.

Ayy, SnowRunner guy

Thats a weird flex there
Very cool

This is a new video for me Dam things have changed 👊🏻👍🏻
Wouldn’t you achieve the same thing using the TRX long arm lift kit? Or aren’t the shocks that long?

looks amazing i have a trx4 aswell and every mod u do to yours i do to mine
I wish I had a trx 4
I want to get the kit.
I love your videos, full of info!
Also your voice sounds similar to Colin Furze :)
Hey Kevin do u know of anyone who makes cvds for a trx 4? Thinking o doing a brushless one to.
I pretty much did the exact same thing with my axial scx10 deadbolt
I’m so going to try this on my Ascender I hope it works just as well
Well done! Looks like it works great! Thumbs up #70

Trim the body a bit. A little can go a long way.
Insane flex!!
Will those shocks work for a traxxas stampede
Here 3 years later for my trx build
this is one of the wierdest but coolest rc shocks ever
That's awesome mate nice job.
What is the length these schock absorbers ?
Absolutely EPIC!!!
nice mod thats thinking out of the box
ThatsMyRc literally lol
Do you have any recommendations for starter RC rock crawlers? I really want one to be the next truck I get. I already have a 1/18 brushless monster truck and a 1990's kyosho 1/10 truck.
TRX-4 if you ask me dude
Wow! I checked it out and it looks absolutely sweet! Thanks for the recommendation! It will be pretty expensive for me, but once I get a job (I am only 15 and turning 16) with a few weeks' work I can afford it!
Have a look at the FTX Outback, it's a LOT cheaper and pretty good for the money. Lots of reviews on RUclips.
David Holden thank you for telling me. I'll check that out. Sounds like I would have a better chance getting that bc I'm only 15 with no job.
Vaterra ascender i have a k10 and a k5 both have copped hard abuse and ive never had a problem with them. Wont beat a trx4 in a race but ive beat one on alot of climbs and they have huge flex from the box
You've gone and made yaself a monster.
hey Kev. can you share the schock detail?
Are those tires bfgoodrich krawlers?
What about spring rates. Probably different from each other.
the hpi springs are waaaaaaay too soft I need to find stiffer ones
Will they fit on the trx-4 defender as well?
It seems to me like they're to soft have you updated these with heavier oil and some stiffer springs?
That was amazing man
Can you please tell me specs about these rims and tyres and where can i get them?? Awesome video by the way and nice mod🖒
Is it possible to put bigger shocks on a Traxxas slash4 by 4
How long are those shocks?
Would love to see this with 4WS
when wil the trx-4 also get brushless in 😁
CRAZE SHIT!!!!....BAD ASS!!!....Awesome Truck! keep up on the good work! 😎
Almost a million now
Amazing ...... that was amazing
What suspension measure do you use to make the change to my traxxas?
Question what kind of shocks are they? And springs!! I really like the modification you did seems to work flawlessly minus a little adjustment. Big 👍 man. I’m a new subscriber to you and this video caught Eye!!!
There off an HPI wheelie king/crawler king.
It won't be too long, and a company will release a set of mounts, essentially like you just made, for long travel shocks. shockingly, that worked really, really well. not bad at all!
"shockingly" shock-ingly HAHAHHAAAAAAAA no?
noone?
:(
Albert Ellwyn hahahaha that's fricken hilarious!!😂😂😂😂👏
what sharks are you using on this upgrade so I can put them on my trx4
Austin Younts I think he is using the great black sharks on there they have optimal travel and can easily dive to deeper depths in the ocean. Just kidding bro he said he was using a type of hpi crawler shock I don't know the model
Can you get any stock ones that flex this much
Whiteox Mahib I doubt it can happen without adapters mounted, i got a traxxas bronco
Hey kev, put these shocks on your 6x6
what are the measures of the shock absorbers?
What mm shocks are those, the trx4 runs 90mm
For the LoLs Kev!!!
How long are the "Longer Shocks" ?
Natur Lover the longer shocks are long. But I actually do not know
Great video
Did you have to adjust the steering link
Awesome idea way more flex
Love the Ford body
How can I find the metal base or chassis?
How long is that longer absorber?
what shocks is that pls?
I'm going to have to watch the whole thing but you seem educated enough to know your stuff. Searching for more Flex isn't good just for Just about every crawling situation. Let me watch the full video but messing with the stock ride height and lcg hurts performance on my nasty trails
What are these shock absorbers.
Amazing suspensions
Looking good!
You made your shocks progressive in the wrong way, as deeper it goes as less force the shock canaply to the chassis :(
What size are the shocks
What was the shock part number an length
What length are the shocks?
you know how you are always looking for the craziest RC fails watch this video (RC HUGE FAIL (TRX 4)
love the show
What is the travel on these shocks?
Lunghezza ammortizzatori?
You should put xmax tires on the rustler
Amazing..👍
I love it hahah amazing videos
rock pirates shock towers
where can I get these
How did this end?
I'm doing an oil change on almost the same but real version of this truck and I'm getting distracted watching videos lol
Yep, there's always something better isn't there? Now, you're THAT much closer to "better". It also means you can fit slightly larger tires/tyres in there too.
I dont want it too high I will drop it down again I like the low cg
put some.paddle tires on it and it will be able to to go anywhere
Are those 130 mm shocks
What tires are on that truggy?
fastrax
What type of truggy is that?
I think that's his hobao.
Can you do this with scx10
Set it up with sway bars (more stability).
you should hydro plane your xmaxx
I have these shocks on a wheelie king I destroyed. Lol
What about doubling springs on xmax ? IMG_3204.JPG
To much flex is overrated ha ha ,whats now with torque twist in second gear?
Damn auto correct,it was suppose to say crawling not drawling
where can i get hat body
''worlds most flexible RC car"
That is crazy
