Oh thanx man! Not sure...i ve only mentioned it once or twice on insta and it s only been 3-4 mos! I have an RC INSTA now,@phillyb_rc. Thx for the SUB✌🏻and hope you enjoy!
The springs were too stiff or long for my hyper 7 buggy, i put on rc8 springs to give me proper ride height. Really good shocks for the money, 16mm bore,4mm shaft, bleed cap, bladders, nice fit and finish. Only complaint is no hardware for the top. I made mine on a 3d printer.
They actually look like decent shocks for the price. The stock Granite shocks have a damper length of 102 mm and proline sells a set of front shocks and they are 101mm. The ZD front shocks are 120 mm in length. I guess the extra travel helps. IDK really but you have a video for shortening the shocks so I better check that out. 👍👍
I performed this upgrade along with the typhon a arms and noticed the cvd axles rub on the a arms due to the height increase. But I modded the shocks with spacers inside and lowered it about a 1/2 inch. I lost ground clearance but this thing is almost impossible to roll now and no longer pops wheelies when you gun it. It straight up launches now. No regrets.
Agree completely!! It’s still my favorite mod! I also note in the description that I also add tubing to shorten their travel. Thanx for watching the video Dustin! More like this to come! I just got a 6s Arrma also, so look out for those instructionals too. Thanx man
I tried these on my Typhon 3s after I shortened them considerably. One shaft bent and another one is leaking. I suppose they hold up about as well as the stock ones. But I've replaced three shocks in 1 1/2 years using them.
Np. They are in the area where the nuts and bolts are in Ace hardware and they are small enough the cushion or pivot ball will still function as it should and the regular bolt will work with them

Cool, you will have a jacked Granite soon! The big bore shore did well, but didn t find spare parts. I guess buying a couple extra for parts would ve been a good idea. Thx for the input
@@phillybrc for sure! I think it will be my new truck. I have the Traxxas slash turned to monster slash but it’s only 2wd. I’ve had if for about 3 years now. Just ready for something new. 👍

Cool video....my big rock shock rods just came off the rod end yesterday...bodged it so it's running again. These could be a nice alternative...it's been 3 months since you posted this...are they still performing?
I find the front run soft, with killed Granite tires. I went 60Wt in the front ant put on my proline 2.8. Changes the truck totally. Need more seat time with it. I am liking the 60 in the front though. Thanx bro.
I’m not really familiar with the MT10. I will find out the length, but since the rival is slightly smaller than the Granite, I’m thinking some modifications are necessary.
@@Stevey1976UK Hi! Those tools are from Amazon, they have since stripped. The ones I use currently are expensive but last years without wear. You know that saying “buy once, cry once”? That applies here…a.co/d/cfo5YnO
@@phillybrc ah ok thank you. Was really hoping to be able to get something to fit in an electric screwdriver/drill as the little Allen key is painfully thin to grip. But these would sort that albeit with a bit of manual work lol. I’ll see if I can get something like this in the UK. Is it the 1.5mm to remove the shocks?
How do you feel about the 50 weight? I just got mine in and they all need oil. Shoot, one of them came completely empty because the seal inside was completely off!
Ah that s too bad. I find they will leak if you screw the shock cap on too tight...crushing the o-ring. I like the 50 weight actually, any stiffer I find it doesn t handle so well on the bumpy high-speed rips. Just trying to find a compromise. Thanks for watchin man!
For someone who really doesn't jump the truck much,is there any benefit to the shocks as far as steering?,I honestly love the truck it has metal pivot pins throughout but the steering just lacks imo.everything I've read about servos doesn't seem to aide in the steering...I would like it a lot tighter and more responsive
In terms of steering, I d say your stock shocks would work fine, but to say a better servo does not make a difference…I disagree. I servo with more torque will be able to turn wheels more sharply. This will help muscle through higher-traction, higher-resistance surfaces(like tall grass etc). Does that make sense? Try the Animos or Zoskay blue 25 or 35kg Amazon servo. It does a good job.
@@phillybrc you think as far as the torque in the servo?, everything I've read says there is no real quicker response on the steering with the servo.i honestly think it's just the design...when you look at the steering linkage the travel is really short...with another even 16th of inch of travel it seems like it wouldn't need such a long distance to turn....I have big parking lot I rip around in and at higher speeds it just under steers horrible.this is just all my years of being a fleet mechanic,I'm not a engineer by any means
Ya, sory i didn t show it. I took the shock apart and added a 1/4”-3:8” piece of tubing on the shaft inside the shock body. This limits the travel. Hope this helps. Thanx for watching.
@PhillyB_RC Have you had any issues with these leaking yet and if so what do you recommend to do to fix leaking? I have them on my big rock and 2 are leaking for sure, one in front and another in rear
Oh shoot! These are new to you right? I ve had one leaker a couple weeks ago, but yet to look inside. Be sure not to over-tighten the cap…it will squeeze the ring too much. I did hear some guys were plugging the air hole with a dab of epoxy or something similar….
@@phillybrc they are not new to me no, my vehicle(big rock) was used when i bought and has been bashed, not sure to what extent and not sure when zd shocks were installed.

Thanx. Ya, that makes sense. Did you try these shocks? They proved to be too long actually. I shortened them and prefer them this way. Thanx for watching and your input.
YES! I ve since shortened them by adding tubing on the shafts within the shock bodies. It increases the angle of the half-shafts and stresses them. Easy fix to shorten. I basically shortened them about 3/8”. Thanx!
Will these shocks work with the factory arms? Or do I have to install the Typhon arms?? Truck looks great. Can't wait to install my wing when it comes Wednesday! Thx and God bless!!
They will work but you will have to shorten them a bit by adding some rubber tubing on the shaft inside the shock body. Unfortunately I don t show how to so that in the video because I didn't know I was going to. The wing is a solid way to save your body...and looks killer too! Thanx for watching!
You gain tons of height because you now have a full inch of down travel on the suspension vs before you had no down travel. If you preload the new shocks you will gain an inch of height.
Yes, but it was too much height, I didn t like it so I decided to shorten. I’ve also learned the importance of chassis slap since then. Thanx for watching.
@@phillybrc they are a definite improvement on the stock shocks. Hopefully I've just had one that a letdown when it comes to leaking. Thankfully amazon seller is replacing it for me 😃

Well, the Vorteks shocks are shorter. I would try by shortening the travel by putting some thin airline tubing on the shafts within the shocks. Just cut the tubing the length you d like to lose. My guess is about 3/4”. Thanx for watching
Well, they are a bit longer…eventually I realize that, and shorten them by adding 1/4” long piece of airline tubing on the shaft. I install this inside the shock body, sorry I dont show this.
I don t believe they were intended for Arrmas. Zd Racing make their own cars, they are made for their cars…we re just improvising. Zd Pirate is the name of the car they come on,I think(i m nor sure)
No, I have not. Truthfully, I don t know which way to go with it. Between uncertainty and parts availability, we are still sloppy. Stay tuned, I need to donsomething soon! LOL. Thanx for watching.

Ammo? Im sorry, i don t understand.

I see the video It 'very intresting .nice
@@robertobassi1843 thank you very much. I will get that information for you.
not the same specs as stalk though??
Well, they are a bit longer…eventually I realize that, and shorten them by adding 1/4” long piece of airline tubing on the shaft. I install this inside the shock body, sorry I dont show this.
@@phillybrc but the rears are shorter than stalk?
@@43rocket Nope. They are longer also.
@@phillybrc why didnt the make them the same as stalk?
I don t believe they were intended for Arrmas. Zd Racing make their own cars, they are made for their cars…we re just improvising. Zd Pirate is the name of the car they come on,I think(i m nor sure)
I have a arrma voltage
Cool. These shocks are too large for a Voltage.
@@phillybrc ok thanks

Did you ever address the play in the front end you mentioned at ruclips.net/video/HiwwLb1x2BQ/видео.html ?
No, I have not. Truthfully, I don t know which way to go with it. Between uncertainty and parts availability, we are still sloppy. Stay tuned, I need to donsomething soon! LOL. Thanx for watching.

I’ve just added the link to the video! It seems the price does vary. I found that also before I made the purchase , just keep your eye on them! Thanx for watching !
