      Not sure what's up with notifications, I noticed on Friday night all the guys mentioned your go live feed hadn't come up as a notification. I didn't get fridays notification and I have chrome on as well just so the notifications pop up in the corner of my screen. Sure it'll work itself out. When fitting the sway bar Don't tighten the two screws with the washers down tight, evidently they should hold it down but let it move! No instructions but people have let me know to loosen them a bit. I'll test it in the morning, mind you if this rain keeps up I'll be putting new turf down as the MX28's are eating my grass!

    Nicely done rich! I wonder if this would help the rolling over problem that the arrma big rock crew cab 3s has. What are your thoughts on this??

      a front sway bar might help. Apparently I need to loosen the two centre washers on this setup to make them work properly

    Yeah man. Gotta loosen those mounting screws.
    When the left side is depressed up the right side should move up with it on front and back assemblies. 👊😎

      For sure does help when a company takes the time to put a nice proper package together.
      I don't complain to companies but I do ask them to remedy a mistake when one is made.
      I have now had to re email Tbone twice and ask them to send again the missing hardware that was not put into the bumper set that I bought.
      I really do need that rear upgraded hinge pin block.
      It happens now a days more than ever with some of the best companies who make the most durable products.
      Now if they just hit a home run with their hardware they give with their products we'd be set 💯 %.
      Happy RC addicts R US.
      Have a wonderful day my friend. And keep those awesome Videos coming. ❤️👊😎👍

    Do these sway bars actually work good? I’m having a problem with my 4x4 slash where if your on pavement and punch it it won’t stay in a straight line like the front end is Squirrley. Not so much the back. I do t really have a problem with body roll. I’m just bashing. Thanks

    • @DriftomaniacsRC

      I would say yes they make a big difference on every car I've fitted them to

      Driftomaniacs what sway bars for the slash 4x4 would you recommend? The hot racing ones or the regular traxxas ones? I’ll get whatever one you suggest. Going to my lhs at noon tomorrow.

    The sway bars are to tight loosen up the mounting screws with the washers when you push a tire up it should move the other tire on the oppaset side as well

    Nice tutorial but you are tightening them too much. The sway bar doesn't work if it's not able to move.

    You would think they could come up with a better way to hold the wire down besides washers you need the sway bar to be held down but turn freely don't those washers pinch it down and make it hard to turn?

      can you expand on that a bit, not 100% quite sure what you mean on the rear lower shock bolt. I'm open to advice so do let me know.

  • @theirishaxe9405
    @theirishaxe9405 5 років тому +1

    You pull up on one side and the sway bar doesn't move the other side at all because it's pinched under two screws, I don't get how this is supposed to work I watched you pull up on one side and only one side of the sway bar moved it's should atleast move the other wheel up some but it's pinched under two washers and cant turn that's why sway bars in any vehicle use bearings so the bar can do its job and twist am I wrong? I'm not being rude at all I'm just completely baffled how is a sway bar supposed to work when it's fixed in the middle all you have is a stiffer spring

    • @oobahy
      @oobahy 7 місяців тому

      The screws need to be losened a bit to allow the sway bar to transfer the force to the other side.
