In this video AJ explains the added bonus of having more cushion in your shock set. The advantages, in our opinion, outweigh the drawbacks for adding this tubing to your RC. Come along and find out if this solution is right for you.

Very much appreciated. Seriously considering doing that to the EXB Outcast. Almost 30 pounds coming down creates ALOT of inertia and needs all the help she can get to soften the impacts. Thank you. Very much appreciated.
Used to do this eons ago when I raced on road with RC10 pan cars... and lately with my scx6 (Although with 5/16 tubing) really easy mods (and cheap!) So glad your covering content like this...
very informative i like this idea😊. This minimizes damage expenses😁
Awesome Video. A good upgrade to the stock MT8 shocks. 👍
Having silicon tube inside the shock & an external bump stop, also protects the shock piston from smashing when the shock is at full compression or full extension in hard hits. Also some serious speed runners lower the shocks with internal silicon tube, they also fit an external silicon bump stop tube. But the external bump stop tube is the full length of the external shock rod, so there is no movement of the shock apart from the external silicon compressing. This stops the car from squatting especially at the rear of the car, where you dont want squat happening at very high speeds. Some speed runners even take the shocks off all together & replace the shocks with rigid adjustable tie rods, where they dont want any movement under the chassis.
Sick! You know of anyone using torsion bars instead of coils like in 1:1 motorsport?
Silicon is a rigid metallic element used in microchips.
Nobody puts silicon in their RCs, except maybe the ESC.
Silicon

Big difference.
You definitely don't see women putting metallic silicon in their implants. Bad idea.
@@Boogie_the_cat good one
Man u got some good tricks thanks learned alot.....
I’m glad we could be helpful 😎👍
So for the top of the shock, the pivot ball has to be removed to put in the tubing?
Correct!. Thank you.
That is correct😎👍
Thank you for sharing, i always learn something new from your channel.
AJ, is it possible you can make a video to extend and installing wider A arms, etc, on an Arrma Big Rock 3S and any other parts from another Arrma vehicle from 4S or higher or from purchasing from a third party to widen the Big Rock? I have been searching for a while and all i found was using the Typhon 3S arms but i would love to widen my Big Rock just a little bit more wider.
Go to eBay and type in: Arrma big rock 3s wheel hubs. You'll find what you're looking for. Thanks for asking.
