- What's up everybody, this ya boy Game2dabone from the 336 putting together a quick video on how to adjust/lower your stock Rustler shocks. A lot of the guys that I've subscribed to your channel have inspired me to build a FAST Rustler. I'm new to game, but I catch on real quick. I need y'all support, so be sure to rate, comment & subscribe. I have more videos coming on my 100MPH Rustler build. I'll post more videos SOON!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR WATCHING PEACE!!!!!
I have several things to say to you, all of them good! :) Helping my 14 y.o. son use his rustler vxl at a local indoor track. Got him his first tool box with some tools & gear. Little by little, it's getting expensive, lol. Anyway, noticed when watching him race, the car needs to ride a little lower. YOU have the best video for doing this using what I already have on hand. You explain exactly what everything is (traveler limiters, etc.)...you have good visuals so I can see what you're doing...and you have this relaxing and calm voice that I could listen to all day. Thank you my good man for taking the time to post this & help guys like me out. I am subscribed! BTW, when you get some time, visit my channel & watch an old bastard (who used to tour full time for about a decade many moons ago) play some drum covers. And turn it up! :) Thanks again.
I'm glad my video was informative & helpful to you and your son. Thank you for the positive comments! I have a eBay account as well "Givnbumzwrk" selling rc car parts. If you get a chance, check it. I'll check out your UA-cam videos as well & SUB you too. Have a blessed day!
just a little tip next time you use the needle nose on the shock shaft wrap a rag around the shaft, you dont want to nick up the shaft or it will take out the seals. thanks for the tip on lowering!
dalepete71 or masking tape on the tips of the needle nose.
This can also be done using fuel line from gas rc cars,you can cut it as long or short as you need.It works great.
skip drummer facts
This was on of THE most useful videos! Thank you very much for putting this out there!
Bro, thanks for taking the time to make this video. I just got my first traxxas today, rustler 2wd. I saw this bag full of shock adjustment parts & was a bit overwhelmed lol. The only thing that I knew how to use were the spring spacers! 😆
All I knew was that I had to lower my car & stiffen up the suspension a bit since I will be running it mostly on flat pavement. I don't want it rolling over on turns. Hopefully this will help!
You're welcome homie. Lowering your rustler will help with turning sharper and not flipping it if the speed isn't too high.They are fun to drive & work on. Good luck!
Great Video for the beginning racer especially on a budget. Thank You
You.
You're welcome my man. Stick with it, it's a great hobby!!!! I'm glad it was a useful help to you.
I USE SMALL PIECES OF FUEL TUBING ON THE INSIDE OF THE SHOCK IT GIVES THE SHOCK A CUSHIN SO IT WONT BOTTOM OUT TO HARD.I HAVENT USED MY RUSTLER IN 5 OR 6 YEARS, IM INTO THE ARRMA TRUCKS AND CARS 6S TO BE SURE, OR 12 S.
Those shocks work great just as good as any other shock it all depends what ur doing with it loved the video I learned something i got a vxl rustler
I have a set of shocks that i used small washers, i just slid them on the shaft
Man I wish I found this vid earlier it makes my rustler so much better
Super helpful video man, I got a VXL rustler I am setting up for speed runs and didn't know how to lower it. This was a perfect video showing the steps! Thanks for taking the time to make it!
You're welcome bro. I am passing on the knowledgethat I didn't have, people shared with me & what I learned from wrecking lol. Good luck and keep me informed!
I just did the mod, man it makes it look so cool. I put on some street tires and with the lowered stance it looks mean! I also did the 12mm to 17mm hex adapters which added about an inch of stance, so that and the lowering make it look awesome.
Thank you for making the video I'm definitely going to do this. Also can you do a walk around and show us what it looks like after you lowered it. I've been actually sitting on the ground to see what it looks like
Starting my rustler project i did this shock lowering yesterday was easy and works great thanks a bunch #100club
Thx!
Great video also......where did you get your wheels from what size etc thanks
Apologize for lack of terminology but could you put a spacer in between the retainer that holds the spring in place and the piece you unscrewed with the pliers that the screw actually goes threw to hold it to the truck?
p.s im new to rc
pizzahutevo limits the travel not the reach.
This was a very helpful video. Thank you
Can you re use the oil
Yes, but you`ll probably loose some while working, and you shouldn`t mix old and new oil, and don`t mix different viscosities either, so get some oil and have it on hand, you don`t want big bubbles in your shocks :)
why do some of the Pistons have more holes then others
how many spacer do you need to level the rear?
Nice vid! My rating, full 5 stars, lol!
Thanks my RC brother....I was wondering how to lower the suspension! All my stuff is falling into place nicely! My rustler is gun a scream when I'm done...Thanks again
Great to hear that these videos are a service to help you achieve your goals. Good luck my brother & keep me posted with your project!

Thx bro for the credit/shout out. I'm just trying to give some insight to help others enjoy the RC World.
Hey where did you get that stand for you rustler? Also what's it called?
I ordered it off of ebay. I paid like $15 for it. Your local hobby shops should carry them.
Nice!
Can I us any kind of oil for shocks???
No
Thanks good video!

Are those the stock shocks?
Trx Slash 101
Yes, those are stock shocks. Thks for watching bro.
Yes they are, stock shocks on a rustler aren’t that bad for what this guy is doing.
I’ve used zip ties before
