hey man like the others said great tutorial. always nice to see people go the extra mile to add as much detail into working on these things like u do. keepem coming!
Very well done my friend. Your so right about the drive shafts binding when the angle is too radicle. These shocks sure are a great alterative to the stock ones. The bleeder and dust covers are a real plus. Thanks so much for sharing. I always learn so much from your channel.@@phillybrc
Just started watching the channel. Great instructional videos!! I like how you take your time and show exactly what you are doing step by step. Very helpful!!
Good stuff. Stay away from Aquarium hose. It was all i had to do an Asphalt running Bandit & week later they had compression marks & 2 were even split & buggy started running wonky.
I’ve been looking for 4mm-6mm spacers or crimps or anything to limit my shocks on my Senton. This is simple and next to free. Win win! Between this and your shim trick for front suspension I’m getting it dialed thank you 👍🏻
I got the orange zd shocks that goes on the hoonicorn. These pistons are extremely unreliable. Same shock oil and all of them works differently. I highly recommend getting 16 mm tapered pistons. That solved my problem.
What heigt is it on your front shocks and rear shocks. I wonder if it was better to buy the zd shocks for 1/10 car instead . Lot of zd shoks with different heigt on . I dont know whats for front and for back 😂 . Preciate your videos . I am about to widen my granite , change shocks and proline wheels on 17mm hex
Nice video 👍 It also increases durability of shock rod ends 🙂 I put 1 oring under shock piston. While crashing that oring is compressed so less force works on shock rod end ℹ️ Droop screws don't save rod ends, I don't use droop screws
Just got these new and went to open them to make sure they were full and they have been filled with a wd40 / 5in1 smelling type of oil (not silicone) was this the same for you as its reacted with the rubber shock cap bladder bits and ruined them
Hey bro I work on cars and I went to school as well for them. In the automotive aspect the drive shaft must be at an angle in order to not destroy the i joints during use. It sounds weird but a demonstration is way better. For an rc car balance just may be the only issue but you may not notice it
Hey! The problem here with the angle is that the parts of the driveshaft are rubbing against one another , they eventually break. So, by lessing the angle it prolings their life . Thanks bro
@@phillybrc I agree dude. Also after watching this video like yesterday or so, I went to Lowes today and bought some fuel line and shortened my shocks on my cars as well as added a bump stop, this vid was very helpful I did forget to mention. So thank you
Na man, it s all part of learning. I did too and realized there was something wrong. The extra length puts too much angle on the axles.. i pretty much have most my rc s with arms parrallel to surface now.
Well, I’m in few. One is the Arrma Granite,senton,vorteks and Bigrock group and also Arrma Mafia. Both solid. I tried to copy and paste a link but i couldn t figure it out

Thanx so much! Hope some of the other ones help too. Send suggestions, perhaps i ll make a video. Thanx for watching.
Great video, I love the detail you include here. Thanx!
Thanx for watching!!!
Your videos are always so easy to understand. Thanks for making it simple for followers 🙏
Thanx A!! Your comments mean alot! 👍🏻

So glad to hear that! I'm definitely into cheap fixes. Thanx for watching, hopefully you ll find more of my vids helpful.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing this great tip. Great job. 👍👍
Np, thanks for watching! I m gonna check out your channel!
What’s up PhillyB!!! Great how to video! Your the man!!!!!! Sorry I was MIA for a few weeks. I’m back. Good Job as always! 💯👍🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
SYKO!! Thanx alot for stoppin by. I hope you are well!!
Very concise tutorial, thanks man. I will be looking at the Granite that has these shocks installed on it.
I don t think anybody has one of my videos “concise”. I like that, thank you.
Great video!! I see way to much on fb people using the wrong size shocks and then having many other issues
Very true!! It can get away from you if you don t pay attention.
Your diff. rebuild video for 3s Arrmas saved me so much headache! My Senton is sounding better than the factory.
Man, These comments are music to my ears. Thank you

@@user-bf7vy3ub9c Good to know! I don t run them anymore but some of my friends do. Thx
cool mod and video,have a great weekend brother
Thanx brother
Am struggling to fit my metal eyelets in the shocks any tips just Subbed 👍
ua-cam.com/video/HiwwLb1x2BQ/v-deo.html. Try the bushings mentioned in this video by Axial 0:34. Thanx for the sub!🙏🏼

Thanx alot. The fronts should be shorter than the rears. I don t actually know the lengths. Sorry. You will love your Granite with all those upgrades!

Good point Marek! Thanx for the input my friend
I don’t have the Paw Patrol container but I have a Frozen one just like it. Girl dad. Lol
Haha, right on. I know all about it!
My shocks are to short and i have oxygen tube and thinking putting it ontop inside but wen it takes off it will drag
Just got these new and went to open them to make sure they were full and they have been filled with a wd40 / 5in1 smelling type of oil (not silicone) was this the same for you as its reacted with the rubber shock cap bladder bits and ruined them
Holy cow! No, they were just light in oil. That sucks!!!
Will this work for the bigger 1/5 scale like hpi baja 5b shocks
No, too small unfortunately
Instead of tubing, I use orings. Plus I remove the link rod end and remove the shaft as one unit (remove the bottom cap first)
Ya, i guess that would work too. Thanx!
Nice work👍Destroyed more than a few of these shocks but they are not bad for the price
I agree. Good for bashing anyhow! Thx for watchin
I just purchased these shocks for my big rock. What weight oil do you recommend?
I would start at 50 wt and see how you like it. Thanx!
Great Video!
Thanx for checkin it out!
Thank you for the information.
Thanx for watching!!
Say you ordered shocks and they dont fit can you take the parts from the shocks it cam on the car and put them on the shocks that you ordered
No. The shafts are different thicknesses, therefore they wont seal.
@@phillybrc ok thanks
Any issues with these shocks so far?
These shocks did well for tge low price, they are just a little too long for 1/10 rc s.
😂 You got my Subscription
YES! Thanx for watchin!

@@FZERO20 Glad you 👍🏻 it!! Thanx for watchin’
Hey quick question do you only shorten the rear shocks
I found both sets too long. What I do is drop the car from 2’ and the control arms should be parallel to the floor(or close to).
Yo PhillyB try some heavier shock oil you might be surprised at the difference from what you originally had in there.
I do like messing around with different weights. This was just for the video. Thanx for watchin’!
Good info bro!
Hey, thanx brother. Appreciate that.
I've been blowing axles like crazy while using these shocks on an arrma 3s. I feel kinda dumb.
Na man, it s all part of learning. I did too and realized there was something wrong. The extra length puts too much angle on the axles.. i pretty much have most my rc s with arms parrallel to surface now.
i just trim the spring....
If it works! Thanx
In theory the length difference between the original shock and the new shocks
Ya, pretty much! Thanx for watching
Dust booty?
LOL. The rubber covering over the shaft of the shock.
@@phillybrc I thought u would say dust boot 🤣but booty
@@IDCards727 hahaha. Fair. I guess I had booty on my mind lol
@@phillybrc it be like that sometimes
@@IDCards727 Hahaha!
@phillybrc what is that Facebook group you keep discussing in your videos?!
Well, I’m in few. One is the Arrma Granite,senton,vorteks and Bigrock group and also Arrma Mafia. Both solid. I tried to copy and paste a link but i couldn t figure it out
Great video!
