From the Hot Racing help desk- Well done! We appreciate good, educational videos as our parts rarely include instructions. I have subscribed and will be looking for more vids to refer our customers to.
Thank you sir. I appreciate it.
If you send me parts for a scx10iii or e revo 2.0, or the Bomber I will do a tutorial on your parts.
Exactly what I've been waiting for. Many thanks 😎👍
Awesome info man! Thanks a bunch. This is gonna help me out with new shocks soon
Mate I have just started watching your videos and I think they are amazing and so helpful. Thanks mate
Your welcome, more to come!
Love your videos! Most informative tech videos I watch when looking at maintenance and products.
Thanks. I appreciate that. 😎👍🤙
Great videos glad I found you
Красава бро!!!! Ты очень мне помог! 👍
Top video
it is very interesting to me! do not unscrew the adjusting bolts during a long ride and shaking? is it possible to lose them?
It is possible. Whatever works for your application
Good instructions on how those work and how to tune them. The real question is: Are they q performance upgrade or eye candy?
So far i have just 1 run on them. But, i did everything i usually do on the same trail and i got over a couple obstacles a lot easier than before mostly due to the extra clearance. No problems yet, they work pretty good.
I've been watching your episodes before getting my hands on mine, did you managed to upgrade with another servo and use both the dig and 2 speed with the dx5c, you could show us that 👌
Keep up✌
I have not, I removed my dig servo and don't plan on using 2nd gear. So i won't need another servo, but I will Bind with my DX5C eventually, but like the DX3 for now.
@@upgradedrc3697 it would be awesome to see how it can be setup...
What exactly are you trying to do with your DX5C and on what vehicle? Maybe i could guide you in the right direction as a start anyway. I'm sure i'll be making a video on aux options. But not sure when.
@@upgradedrc3697 i got it initially for my db pro and have watched your tutorials, now I'm getting my gladiator tomorrow and would like to have dig and 2 speed working together thought you could do it also and that was why I have left the suggestion... ✌
Did you have to do any adjusting to the panhard bar? I installed 100mm shocks and the whole axle get pushed over and limits travel more on one side.
Yes, I adjusted the panhard bar 2 turns out on each end. and adjusted the links out 1 turn. Sorry I didn't mention that, but everyone has different circumstances. And the turns out I just told you worked for me, Not everyone. And because the SCX10 only has 3 links on the front axel It will always want to shift to the passenger side.
What did you do about the stock swivels on the top and bottom of the shock did you put them in the new ones?
Yes
Dang, looks like Hot Racing no longer offers the the piggyback in a 100mm. Really trying to avoid $60+ Prolines for the Gladiator. Any suggestions?
From me to you the Proline Powerstrokes or pro series is what you really want👍
I got treal shock towers and pro line pro spec rock crawler 105-110 mm shocks for my scx-10 iii JT.... do you think it will work or should I have went with some 100mm shocks
110mm is pretty big. I got 110mm first, then took them back and got the 100mm. Anything larger and you will be adjusting or replacing links and steering set up as well as your trac bar adjustment.
They are adjustable 105-110... will the 105mm work?
Do you think that the would work for the Capra?
Sure, but i'm not sure if you might want 110mm or 120mm for the Capra. What size are the stock ones?
How much is your whole set up for your Jeep Gladiator?
Not sure, more than $500.00 and less than $2000.00 lol
how do you paint the springs (coils)? im not a fan of the white
I hang mine on a wire and go all the way around inside and out. But, let them dry for a whole day or the paint will flake off.
@@upgradedrc3697 thank you. What kind of paint do you use? Regular spray paint or something special
I like the Rustoleum 2x ultra coverage Flat Grey Primer
Can this work with 1/10 scale short course for a sand dune build
I would say no. Their not a big enough diameter to take short course abuse.
Where can you get the green slime
I got mine at my local hobby shop, but i bet you could get it on Amazon or Amain hobbies.
@@upgradedrc3697 I ordered it of ebay,did some research found it,I noticed all my axail shocks leak after awhile,I am upgrading shocks and going to try this green slime, I been doing this stuff sents I was 13yrs old, I am 48 know, I have used little marine grease to stop they leaking, helps some
I run a Axail scx10 ii cherokee kit version, putting portals on it, I will be getting the jeep gladiator next.
What bumper is that?
The rear is a trx4 bumper, the front is off a scx10 renagade
lots of mods to make them fit
@@upgradedrc3697 oh ok thank you
