I bought the same buggy after watching your videos! Very useful tips, thank you. It took a long time to assemble the first shock, but the next 3 were much easier. Strangely, I had no issues with binding. Maybe production is better now? I also purchased shock grease which says prevents leaking oil. So far so good! I bought almost all the upgrades from Kyosho and it's coming along beautifully!
That's amazing! Yeah applying some thick grease on the o rings is a good idea. I also did the same when building the big bore shocks. It's so fun installing upgrades on the buggy! It looks really cool.
Exactly! As an engineer, I've been so impressed with the quality of upgrade parts. Beautifully engineered and really add that wow factor to the looks and performance. Keep making these videos. I love watching them!
Hello, thanks for the informative video. I just installed the MBW037G-SPB (Gold big bore shocks) on my buggy and I am having the same problem with all 4 lower ball joints binding really badly. The buggy is undrivable. It just sinks in its travel until the chassis is dragging on the ground. I don't have a dremmel unfortunately and I am a bit annoyed that I would even have to do this. Kyosho need to sort out their quality control because these things aren't cheap and the expensive shocks were a downgrade so far. I've emailed Kyosho to see what they say.
Salut magnifique montage. J’aimerais trouver un site où je peux acheter toute les options mini z buggy as-tu une adresse à me conseiller ? Bonne soirée
mbw036 has the same dimension as the stock shocks but the shock bodies are made of aluminum. The big bore shocks are wider in diameter (i.e larger pistons and more oil), plus the top shock caps in addition to the bodies are made of aluminum. From what I've heard, their performances (stock, mbw036, big bore) are similar.
Nice video. Ordered a ve2.0 buggy and your channel is great and informative 👍. You got a sub. These shocks look great, when you gonna paint the body ;) ?
The buggy comes with kyosho 400wt oil which would work with the big bore. The red big bore comes with kyosho 300wt oil. Next time I would do 300wt in the rear, and 400wt in the front. I've had Losi brand oil before which works fine, but please keep in mind of the oil weight scale. Here's the useful conversion table I found in the past: site.petitrc.com/reglages/OilChart.pdf

And good to know about the fitment with your shocks. As you could see, mine needed a lot of work, but they worked beautifully afterwards.

Very useful information👍 thanks for sharing
Thanks! I was just watching your Top Speed Sprints video coincidentally! It looks amazingly stable at that speed on that surface.
wow cool remote control car my friend
Thanks! This is a good handling 1:24 buggy!

that's really too bad. i agree that buyers shouldn't have to fix this problem.

Thank you! banzaihobby.com is a good place, but the cost of shipping can be expensive depending on where you are.
What's the difference between them and the Aluminum Oil Shock Set(4Pcs/MB-010) MBW036?
mbw036 has the same dimension as the stock shocks but the shock bodies are made of aluminum. The big bore shocks are wider in diameter (i.e larger pistons and more oil), plus the top shock caps in addition to the bodies are made of aluminum. From what I've heard, their performances (stock, mbw036, big bore) are similar.
Nice video. Ordered a ve2.0 buggy and your channel is great and informative 👍. You got a sub. These shocks look great, when you gonna paint the body ;) ?
thanks for the sub, and hope the buggy will arrive soon! yes the next thing on deck is painting the body. already got the spray cans ready to go.
Nice mods i wish i could get these in Switzerland…
What type of batteries do you use?
Thanks! I use either eneloop pro, orion 1100mah, or pn 750mah. On the brushless buggy, any of these batteries is fast enough.
@@sammybaka thanks for the help!
I have just ordered the gold big bore shocks and only have the oil the buggy came with. What brand and weight shock oil would you recommend?
The buggy comes with kyosho 400wt oil which would work with the big bore. The red big bore comes with kyosho 300wt oil. Next time I would do 300wt in the rear, and 400wt in the front. I've had Losi brand oil before which works fine, but please keep in mind of the oil weight scale. Here's the useful conversion table I found in the past: site.petitrc.com/reglages/OilChart.pdf
@@sammybaka Thanks
