My fake Dravtech shocks came and I rebuilt them with the Traxxas big bore kits and what I found was that the machined caps would thread on a bit crooked causing the Traxxas bladder to malfunction.....kind of a pain in the neck to get them to work.
As I said (I think in the other one) don't expect an abundance of quality control with these. The "gold" ones were completely different colors, none of them have yet had pistons that fit, and two of these the rod ends were torqued on so tight they tore the threads out.
@@CrawlerCanyon weird that the rod ends on mine were like some 200lb gorilla put them on with a cheater bar. It was crazy how tight they were but they weren't stripped🤷 these Chinese are absolutely out of sorts
Thanks CC I ordered the goolrc wheels u recommended earlier. I also ordered the silicones. They are waiting for u to do a vid on the “cut” of the canyon trails. Thanks again
My fimodas came exactly like this same piston. I also had to change how I replaced seals with big bore kit. I did oring spacer flat shim c clip. Sealed great. I got some from facsny and it came like your fimoda video. There all getting made in same place and just slapped together with parts. But they all can be be built good.
I'm pretty sure for this length shock body you want TRA1664T. The GTS shafts (TRA8263T) would fit the 105mm Dravclones, or you could externally limit. So they'll work, they're just a little long for the ~90mm shock.
@CrawlerCanyon I went on Amazon at lunch today and they are 70 to 80 a pair. I honestly can't believe it. I simply googled them and it seems Amazon might be doing some serious price gouging.
Dat paper towel transition 😮 like magic 😊
My fake Dravtech should be here next week. I have the rebuild packs already. Looking forard to adding these to one of my rigs. Thank you Mr C

@@CrawlerCanyonwill the Traxxas rebuild kits work on Vanquish leaky shocks?
Love a JUNK view video

I just priced out all the internal bits straight from Delux (shafts, seals, pistons and bladders) which came to about $30
just use traxxas parts...same thing only cheaper 😉
Mine were $28 a set from aliexpress, after Traxxas stuff I'm at $40. The ones on aliexpress seem to have a lot more length options.
Even cheaper and better-er D'lux dravtec Ti-N shafts are $5/pr with pistons/e-clips installed. 👌 and assorted lengths
Awesomeness ❤

A deep dive junk view 😎😎😎😎😎😎. 🍿
Those really are a pretty good deal.
Hello Canyon man how’s it going
Extra (early) video 😍
I ordered a set of the rc boys dravtechs and mine have a metal washer looking thing at the bottom how do I remove that?
What happened to the sign in the background, it’s not changing colors today 😊
We reserve the Vegas-esque flashing sign for livestreams.
What Traxxas shafts would go in these? GTS? Or the big bore? Would like the nitride option if possible
TRA1664T
@@CrawlerCanyon Thank you very much boss I appreciate you
Are the 8263T shock shafts your recommended replacement?

Will the Traxxas rebuild kits work on Vanquish leaky shocks?
The seals will fit, yes.
Thanks!!
Good evening, are they the same as the one on Ali sold by Fimonda?!
The aluminum bits seem very similar, but not precisely the same. So they fit the same seals and whatnot, but all of the pieces are just different.
What sucks is how long these videos are..
Takes forever to find out what I need to hear and Im out..
Hard to get an research done.
Thats a smol piston 🤣
Speaking shocks, what is up with the desert lizard prises jesus..can actually get a set of 4 dravtechs for the price of 2 desert lizards!
I think when I first ordered, the Desert Lizards were $25 a pair, and they're now $27. At least domestically.

Just junk ,I`ll stay with the real stuff with no problems.
