  • These new 54mm length oil filled true reservoir / piggyback shocks from ‪@nexxracing6199‬ are smooth as butter! Being able to adjust the dampening is amazing! These are designed as a replacement for the Traxxas TRX4M shocks but we are pretty sure many will use them on a ton of other mini RC projects!
    -54mm Extended Length, 39mm Collapsed Length
    -truly adjustable oil shock reservoir.
    -easy to access bleed valve
    -adjustable spring preload
    -longer travel than stock with same compressed length.
    -high quality billet aluminum construction
    -Inner o-ring/nylon ring/o-ring to prevent leaks
    -completely serviceable design
    -perfect for fine tuning your spring rate as well as dampening effect.
    Use 20wt, 200cst silicone shock oil. ;)

    Super cool design. Glad someone came out with a shock thats more like a fuill size shock. The reason there is no air bladder is because there is an actual IFP like in a full size shock. The piston in the reservoir you are referring to is what would be the dividing piston or IFP in a full size shock. As the shock compresses, the shaft displaces fluid, which moves the ifp (piston in the reservoir). The spring in the reservoir acts the same way nitrogen in a full size shock would.

    It’s nice to see a company care about their shocks. Those things didn’t even leak after you opened them up. Also the design is very cool and seems well thought out. Can’t say the same about the stock shocks…
    However they look like they take up a lot of space if you’re still running a hardbody.

      In hindsite, probably not ideal. I’ve heard
      Using that kind of oil can eat the orings over time.

  • @xXDaReasonXx
    @xXDaReasonXx Рік тому +1

    in this scale having oil filled shocks actually make a big difference. And thats double for the faster cars and buggies, however, i believe youll probably run into some heat issues with the oil either expanding after a while or changing damping depending on that viscosity change. But these are no doubt a really nice part.

    • @TheShopMiniRC
      @TheShopMiniRC  10 місяців тому +1

      You can definitely make them fit. Only thing is the screw holes in the ball joints are 2.5mm vs 2mm. However, you can easily shim the holes, find new ball joins with 2mm holes or try to use m2.5 screws and rethread the shock mounts and axle mounts. (I’d just get some shims/fishing lure crimps, to take up some of the space between the ball and the screw. )

    Did they change the sizing since this video? Looks like the length is 56mm on the website?

    • @TheShopMiniRC
      @TheShopMiniRC  Рік тому

      I dont think there is a difference. I just measured some brand new ones and they are right at 56mm. I might have gotten some first batch prototypes because the 2 fronts on my video rig show right at 54/55. I donno, maybe I messed something up on assembly? either way, measured 2 other brand new sets and they are 56mm
