That really depends on how much flex you want, remember if you don't have enough pressure pushing down, it will over flex at hill crests and topple backward st the Apex or forward on your way down. I really like 90mm but for a setup like yours I would definitely go with 100mm front and back. Remember this is just personal opinion, others may offer alternative advice that may be just as sound

He very clearly bled the shocks 🤷🏻‍♂️

Pretty sure that was the stock gladiator rear bumper on it

Thanks for the kind words! I love getting down and seeing how every little detail moves on a slow crawl. Setup is a major part but the technique makes it an even more satisfying hobby.

Because I didn't want to unscrew the lower shock end from the piston shaft.

@@rctactical5600 But you'd risk losing or breaking a c clip?

Same would go for the lower shocke end, and you risk marring the piston shaft if they are particularly obstinate. That's just how I prefer to do it, doesn't mean other ways are wrong.

This particular one at the time weighed about 10lbs, but this setup has proven to work really well with my heavier rig, that may be pushing 15lbs fully loaded

@@rctactical5600 cool, thanks

@@rctactical5600 is there running video of your heavier rigs anywhere.....

Thank you!

I would check on the yeah racing website, or you could use springs from a mini T inside

Awesome, thank you!

90 is just a preference, 100s seems to make it ride a little higher than I want.

@@rctactical5600 so if it was 90 mm before and 90 with droop now. Isn't it then lower now, when it sits? 🙂

@@kenneth_jensen sorry I was rushing to work. I should have elaborated better. So while ride height is movable using various methods such as shock keys and what not in stock placement the 90s seem to be able to sit lower than the 100s which is my preference to keep the COG low. However, I also prefer 90s because of the amount of travel on 100s is just a little longer than what I am shooting for. Again you could tweak 100s to operate much like 90s depending upon spring setup. I usually shoot for the axles to stay as close to the chassis as I can under normal ride circumstances to keep tip over on side hill and steep ascension to a minimum.

@@rctactical5600 that is a good strategy and as I read it, we drive similar. So I have decided to go with the 90mm dual stage Desert Lizard 👍🙂 Thank you so much for your feedback 🙂

Very glad I could help!

🤣🤣🤣

I have not but one of the other guys I run do. The Km3s have more surface area for grip on smooth surfaces but the creeper hook the edges of rocks better

Glad I could help Jason! You are most welcome!

Thank you!

@@rctactical5600 I have idk how many sets I love them!!! I want try set drav Tech shocks but like 30-40$ more to get a set!!! Dessert lizard needs purple shock bodies hahha and few more colors

I wad actually going to do a video of me stripping the paint and painting them another color, for custom colors. I am a big fan of lizards, but I have heard really good stuff about the Dravtechs as well.

Thank you!!

I agree they could have done more with the front end. It sucks they wanted you to cut so much off and everything below it is blank, like you said work with what you can. Thanks for the great comment! Appreciate it!

@@rctactical5600 your welcome Buddy ...

At MTS in mercer, PA awesome place to check out. They might have an event next month!

It may be because the spring below the plunger is too long or stiff. Usually if not bled correctly the shock with push the rod out, opposite to the situation you are describing. Also make sure there is nothing binding along the movement of the shock, such as when the axle shifts from side to side because of compression of the panhard bar. Let me know once you dig into it if I can help in more detail.

Not too sure honestly! I haven't gotten a chance to look at the RTRs that closely! I'll have to check on it!

Me too man!!

It's one of our newest additions to the course, we are constantly adding stuff like this

I got some more to put up too 😉

Haha thanks man 😊

Will do! Got tons of great little single clips like this on my pc!

Thanks man!!

Thank you!! The Chevy is actually my grandfather's!

We used magnets for this build, but you could use a set of mounting posts for SCX10III and drill holes.,

Like all body's, either post, magnets ,velcro whatever you decide !! There all the same, doesn't matter the body its a formed piece of plastic and it's up to you to find the best way to mount it, not real hard to do!!

I was wondering the same since my Axial Gladiator has the hidden mounting posts underneath.

@@brad2157 hidden body post doesn't matter your Gladiator like mine and everyone else's, also has body mount brackets on the truck, you simply have to buy the post and use the brackets that came on the truck, or use magnets or use velcro or any number of ways to mount them !! aftermarket bodies don't come with instructions on how to mount to every rc truck ever made ,there's litterally Hundreds of of crawlers on the market that wld be impossible ,use your imagination it's not very hard ,and you'll feel better about yourself in the end...💯👍🏼

We left those mounting bracket in place so the bodies can be interchangeable. Then used a bolt to go through the upper post mounts with magnets. Worked pretty well but you still can Lose the body if you crash too hard of course!

It's an awesome truck to watch run!

Thank you!! About to drop another!

Sorry! There's another video that goes into more detail of actual swap over, this one just highlights the springs used

Yeah for sure! Also a great option

Good way to cut the oring in the cap...

There are two potentials this could have, it could add that little bit more weight down low, and people often do this to keep rhe shock from leaking. I have never had one of these shocks leak however. Another thing to consider if the clearance down below where the shock meets the axle, an upside down shock on the front of some trucks could potentially limit steering angle

Its to keep the weight at the bottom towards the axle.

I have this setup on a 14 pound rig, a 9 pound rig, and a 8 pound rig. This setup works indiscriminately well with many weights

Thanks again! It's a lot of fun to record from inside the cab!

Thank you! Will do!!

Thank you!

Thank you!!

Thank you!! I'm not sure if I'll be able to attend!
