Finally. Someone who did the included shock oil mod. So many reviews of this rc truck I’ve seen with people saying it’s to springy and even addressing the problem with the included orings to make to add oil to the shock. 👋
Brilliant, thanks so much for that! Thanks for taking the time to research and carry out the mod and share your "how-to". That's exactly how a proper RUclips community should work 🙏
great video Tyler awesome how to I only run enough oil in my crawler shocks to keep the o rings from drying out lol glad you are like the 24s just glue some washers on the back of the wheels for weight
Thank you so much for the kind words, congrats on the new rig I think you will love it, also just a heads up, if you strip the plastic portal gears fms is warenteeing them for free and replacing them with metal.
@@SteadfastRC Thanks, I heard about that. I preemptively ordered some metal portal gears. Did my unboxing yesterday, I broke the front driveshaft. Still runs, but not for long. FMS said they’ll get a new one sent out.
@@QuinnsRC oh that's kind of surprising, I haven't broken anything yet, I imagine someone will come out with metal driveshafts pretty soon. Did the drive shaft break at the ears or the shaft itself?
Back watching again, just got done putting the O-rings in oil I only had 20 Weight , I think is too heavy but good for now. Yeah much better, when I put the two little O-rings on I put the shaft through the body first then put the O-rings over the shaft and A lot easier plus I use green slime then snapped a little cap back on
Nice, yeah the lighter the oil the better on these little things. Im waiting on my metal portal gears to get here then it will be back and running again.
I used 20wt as well and i honestly feel like I messed my shocks up. I'd rather deal with the springyness cause it just feels super stiff now. What shock oil did you end up going with on yours?
Thank you man, glad I could help out, thanks for the support! I haven't read through the full manual yet but I don't think it shows it in the manual either?
Great video , I've been looking for one like this to show how to turn them. Into oil shocks. Thanks! One question, can you use just one O ring and keep some articulation??
Im not sure, I almost tried that today, the o ring gland is made for two but one could work, some oil might leak by though. Let me know if you try it out.
Thank you, I love helping people out in our hobby. I have more to come on this truck, waiting for some brass parts to arrive. It would be great to have you for a subscriber ud your not already!
Best mod I have done on my Fcx24!!! Huge difference!!!
Oh yeah it really is isn't it!

Yeah they're pretty fun for sure, I ordered some stick on weights so I can wait the backside of the rims
Nice work! My FCX24 is awaiting its unboxing. I will be doing this right away. You’ve saved me a little fiddling around time. Thanks!

@@SteadfastRC It was the ears. I let my 10 yo try it, it got blind up behind a couch cushion lol.

Nice how to buddy nice an simple 😁👍🙋♂️
Thank you for the support spring woods!
You uploaded in the wrong resolution that’s why it looks all funky. Make sure to double check your final uploading resolution
Thanks for the tip
Nice one - didn't appeciate they came in the cap as std. Sweet. Mine came this week from Banggood with metal portal gears as stock too. Epic.
Oh really, that's rad!
@@SteadfastRC yeah, having ordered the metal portal gears and oil shock kit from FMS - FAIRRC - I now have plenty spares.... 😂🤷
Nice job brother was wondering what the o rings where for 🔥🔥😎👍
Thank you man, glad I could help out, thanks for the support! I haven't read through the full manual yet but I don't think it shows it in the manual either?
Haven’t done my shocks yet, but you don’t have to unglued the tires they are Bead lock rims
yep figured than out right after I posted this, thanks though.
Top video brother🤓👍

Uh have you seen “Matt’s off road recovery” channel? This crawler looks very familiar…
Oh yeah it does I never thought of that!
Thanks
Glad it helped, thank you for watching!
Very helpful!
Thank you for watching Kevin!
It’s 200 Red Tamiya oil the softest 👍🏻
Ok cool thanks for the info!
Why did you edit out the bottom part of the shock removal? Had a hard time? I still can’t get it off and I’m afraid of breaking it?!!!
Are you talking about getting the shock off of the suspension arm itself?
Yes sir. The top was easy. Bottom, no luck. And thank you for your response. It’s greatly appreciated!
