Anyone else rocking these shocks?
$70.00!!!?!? 😬
@@andrewc9790 fr took all my money lmao
Bought them the day they released. A mega upgrade over stock shocks. I have 3 sets of springs. The tunability is amazing!
@@andrewc9790 Its a hobby grade car, not toys r us. $70.00 is cheap.
Yeah I have them on my Typhon 3s and they expensive cost me $200 dollars here in Canada but worth it in the end
Looks like a good option for this. Thanks for video!
I had also truggified my typhon with the 2.8 mxs and trenchers and it definitely changed it up and gave a different driving experience. It was fun for sure.
Yup! The car handles a lot different! I do like the stock wheel size through just because it handles so much better and turns on a dime compared to the MX 2.8.
that looks totally sick!
Eric I'm a new sub. Like your content so far! I have those shocks on 4 different rc. And they are awesome, going on a year and no problems! You really want to enjoy your typhon. Put the spektrum 130amp 4s esc in it. You can run stock motor. I promise you won't regret it!
Hey! Welcome to the channel and thanks for the sub! These shocks are awesome and tough! Hmm I might have to look into that. Would I be using a 4s Lipo?
Great video man!
Thank you!
I was using the Zd racing shocks and the shafts still bend and the shock bodies still leak. So I went ahead and bought another set of stock shocks to see if I have any more luck with them now that I'm a little more experienced in driving my 3s Typhon.
Yes the proline shocks will still bend if you bash it hard enough. I don’t think anything is indestructible! 😄
Yeah . Shocks and tires change the most with the landing and driving .
These land better . Did you try tuning the shocks more eventually ? I know it’s been a few years just curious , thanks
I really love my 3s Typhon and how durable it has been. I'm not that good of a driver yet and jumps can really beat up a car if you land wrong. My last attempt at the skate park I broke my front shock tower and destroyed one shock. I should find a place where I can land in grass rather than concrete and just go with the stock shocks until I can master jumps.
Yes jumps are really rough on a car even if you are landing correctly. All of the chassis slaps put stress on the shocks, chassis, differentials and electronics.
do not forget to bleed all the air out.. before you put the springs on so the piston does not come out at all! It takes about 15 to 20 minutes with the cap off so all the air bubbles bleeds out!
I’ll have to go back and double check it.
Nice video, I'm thinking picking up a 3s typhon in the next few weeks to add to the collection. John
It’s definitely a fun car and a tank! I feel I can drive it harder than my Kraton without breaking anything most days. 😄
You wont regret it. I love mine, i use it in mud, gravel and street
@@itsmeericbrc4453 I just got a 3s typhon and I love it. No breakages or bent parts. Only issue I have is major slop in the steering. Can some body please tell me how to fix it. ( keep in mind I'm not a wealthy person) lol
Can you put a front bumper on it to protect or deflect a frontal impact and overall protect the vehicle from damage?
Yes you can and you can find them on Amazon, eBay and RPM has one as well I believe.
Turn your punch down to 4 to get a longer run time so you don’t hear the motor up as much and don’t wear down the battery faster I have mine set at 4 and have a wheelie bar on mine and it still stand up and I get about 35-40 min
I’ll have to give that a try! 👍👍
On mine, fully stock, i get 40 mins on a 3s 5000mah 30c, if i stay off full throttle half the time. When im wide open non stop, 30 mins. I use spektrum smart batteries with a smart charger, off brand.
Ahh okay nice! That’s a long run time! 👍
What kind of wheels you have on the typhon? I like the way it look with the new shocks and them big wide wheels. Please let me know when you can bro. I also subbed and liked. I’ll get all your vids when you post now. Loved the video bro
2.8 proline trenchers.
@@FarmerFpv Thanks a lot
Sorry for the late response! I haven’t been doing RC lately but I plan to get back to making videos! I saw someone answered and yes they are Proline Trenchers 2.8! 👍👍
Looking for a set off good durable shocks for my typhoon 6s will these fit
No they will not. The Typhon 6s actually already comes with some pretty decent shocks.
You need to add more preload to your springs so it doesn't chassis slap so hard and flip over all the time. Also your shocks have air in them. When you push the shaft in it should not come back out on its on. It needs to be sitting longer for the bubbles to come out.
Doesn’t the preload adjustment affect ride height? Also for the air, I serviced them exactly how Proline displayed. They showed the shaft pushing back out of the shock. I don’t but I think everyone has their own way of doing it. I don’t think there is a “end all be all” way of doing it. 🤷♂️
The shock coming out on its own is called rebound. Unless you’re building a street car you want some rebound and not just the spring unloading.
Yeah, preload only effects ride height. The spring rate will still be the same through the suspension travel. I think when the shock is fully extended it would have more pressure from the spring still on it, but you'd also raise you're suspension a lot for a little more force on the shock at full extension. Thicker oil and or higher spring rate for big jumps.
@@itsmeericbrc4453it’s better for the stick to push out imo . There’s no wrong way except if the shock is too stiff and can’t compress fully . I like a little push out , not all the way 40% out , not half , can make them not fully compress . Sometimes I ll blow a c clip on certain shocks that sandwich the dampener disc . Good luck .
Have you found the need to use the other tunning springs?
No not yet. I’m pretty happy with the springs that come with it.
the bolt on the bottom, that keep the shock seat in place contacts the arms on my vorteks 4x4blx, took them off before wrecking them. realized it after a 1 min run.
🤔
Put a spacer in
Those are really nice, did you reset your droop?
Thanks! Actually when I checked it, it was already set to where I wanted the car to sit. 👍
Hey just a heads up, setting the droop actually has nothing to do with the stance of how the car sits, its so you don't over extend your shock and break the arm, exactly what happened to your stock shock I'm guessing, there are alot of videos about it, just search setting the droop screws
Do the 3s typhon shave droop screws tho🤔
Would these shocks also work on the Typhon 6s?
Possibly… You may have to check the website to see if it will work on either car.
hello what exactly tyres are those?
Proline Trenchers 2.8
Will the rear ones fit typhon 6s
I don’t believe so. The 6s cars are set up different than the 3s models.
i like the proline shocks , too bad they dont sell replacement parts for them! like if you snap the shock shaft you have to replace the whole shock!
Yeah that’s the only downside, but if it’s still in the warranty window proline should be able to replace them. I got mine from Horizon Hobby and they sent me a whole new set for free when I damaged mine.
At 150$ and almost half the price of the truck I couldn't do it. I went with the 6s typhon shocks on my 3s that were about 70$ and on my 3s big rock I went with the hot racing aluminum bodies which greatly improved the suspension. I just think these are way too expensive. I mean 80$ for 2??? That's crazy lol.
Yeah I feel ya! They are pricey but I feel worth it for this car. I thought about going the 6s shocks route but decided against it. $80 a set?? They are $67 on AMain and horizon hobby.
@@itsmeericbrc4453 67$?? For 2 right not 4? Yeah I scored a set of 4 of them for 70$ plus the shipping. Wanna know where I got them?.....Jenny's rc! 🤫 They are a great site to buy stock parts cheap! I got extremely lucky as they sell out immediately but I was lucky enough to had emailed the owner and he had told me they were gonna be listing them at a certain day at 2pm so I set my alarm and kept refreshing for 5 min lol. It was a lucky score! I also got my American force wheels for my reeper from them at a great price. Definitely check them out!
@@cwatson42785 Oh snap that’s a heck of a deal! Yeah it was $67 for two no including tax or shipping.
@@itsmeericbrc4453 Yeah for sure! Definitely keep them in mind and checking in on their site 👍
The prolines are worth every penny
Iv been looking for shocks for my Typhon. Those look amazing. I have to get them the stock shocks are completely garbage terrible design. Thanks for the info
No problem! Yeah I’ve had no issues with them up to now since I’ve posted this video.
what oil wt do you use i cant find the right wt for my tyhpon 3s
I am currently using 50 at and seems to be running pretty decent. It’s really cold where I am at so thinner oil is usually better. I could probably even go down to 40wt. In the summer I run 60wt.
How do you think these shocks would work on my Arrma Infraction 3s blx?
I don’t k ow that they would work on an Infraction. Aren’t those shocks a lot smaller? Not a lot of travel because it’s an on road car.
$67 a pair. Quite spendy. Us dollar but i do want them. I have stock on my 3s typhon brushless and they are ok. I never ramp but i still get a lot of belly rubbing.
Yeah they are a bit pricey but worth it! Perform well and gives the car extra bling!
Nice shocks but i saw that you bent them 😂😎
Yeah sent it a little to hard! 😂 But…. They are covered under warranty so Horizon Hobby sent me a new set at no cost!
That is cool! I had an absima torch 6s 2.0 truggy once ( about 470 bucks ) and it held 1 month! No warranty cause i changed the connectors🤣😂 i didnt really bash it that hard and it just broke while driving 🤣🤣
@@germanrcdriver39 haha!! Yeah you roll the dice at that point! 😂
@@itsmeericbrc4453 wait they sent a new shaft or 2 new complete shocks? That be pretty crazy lol
@@cwatson42785 They sent me a whole new rear set! So now I have a spare shock! 😁
Nice upgrade , stock shocks are just rubbish , ive had a lot of arrma 3s rcs and they have either leaked or broke .
Yes! They are fine for just mild bashing but if you like to send it or bash hard, you need tough shocks.
If a shaft bent it should really be mentioned in a video recommending these as the “BEST” shocks. These shocks cost as much as 1/8 scale shocks but only have 3.5 mm thick shafts. 1/8 scale shafts are more durable at 4mm thick. You also filled them incorrectly. They are bouncing more on landings than the stock shocks in your earlier video. So, this video shows really expensive shocks with poor durability and decreased performance. These are NOT the best shocks for a 3s Arrma. On what basis do you make this claim? People may spend money based on this video. A click bait title that is not supported by real results is a poor way to build a viewership.
First off I never made the thumbnail for clickbait. Second, no I filled them correctly according to Proline. Third, yes you will still bend a shaft when you send it 30+ feet in the air and don’t land it correctly. These pretty much are the BEST shocks you can get for this car. Thanks for watching.✌🏽
@@itsmeericbrc4453 Anyone with experience knows they are the most overpriced shocks for the 3s line and Arrma 6s shocks are a much better option that will also cost less money if you go to Jenny’s RC. I do 60 ft triple backflips 20 feet HIGH along with inevitable crashes (check my vids). I have NEVER bent a shock shaft. Get some Tekno SCT410 shocks (add stiffer springs). Learn how to bleed them correctly. Bash them for 2 years. THEN tell me what “the BEST shocks” for the 3s line are. I’ve spent too much money on bad advice, so I never give advice unless I’m sure it’s time tested and well founded. Stop giving bad advice with shocks that bent the first time you used them.
@@tyrellcorp2118 It’s not that serious bro. I don’t care if you’ve been bashing for 20 years. That’s what YOU want to do then you do you boo. I know what I’m talking about and no bad advice has been given. I’m one of many creators with my own opinion. No one said that it’s the end all be all. Again, thank you for watching. 🙂
@@itsmeericbrc4453 a review of shocks should certainly mention if the shaft bends. It may be serious to someone who spends $140 based on this video. Especially since Proline doesn’t sell replacement shafts. You have to buy another set of 2 for $70, while Tekno, Arrma sell shafts for $10. Another reason these are a bad, overpriced option. And experience does matter. After you keep jumping, you’ll bend more shafts, Proline will no longer warranty, so you’ll get better shocks and with that experience you’ll realize these are not the best.
@@tyrellcorp2118 Shock did not bend until after I made the video. More than likely was a fluke that it happened and it had a bad landing. You can’t tell me that even the best product won’t sometimes break. There are also random product defects that obviously can be replaced under warranty. Also Horizon Hobby replaced it with a whole new set under warranty. I personally don’t like the shocks from the 6s and they are actually MORE EXPENSIVE than the proline shocks.
