Shock rebuild has always been a little struggle for me but your method #2 has really helped me to build a good shock about everytime now. Thank you for this video. 👍🏼
Thank you Charles Manning I greatly appreciate it. I have a Shock building 2.0 video coming soon as well. Same concept but two different but common types of shocks.
This is one of the best shock building tutorials I have seen on here. I will give you something to think about. In a real world application on a drag car those shocks you built that had a lot of rebound would work perfect on the front which helps get the front end in the air and those shocks you built that had hardly any rebound would be perfect for the rear because it allows the rear to drop with little effort and they aren't trying to push the rear back up in the air robbing the motor of power and torque. I also noticed something else about shocks on RC cars. Why do they run the shocks upside down in a real world application we run the body of the shock and the adjuster at the bottom and the piston or shock shaft at the top. Not saying any of what you are doing is wrong just from a mechanic and racer a lot of things I see look backwards.
CarolinaScaleMotorsports, I greatly appreciate the comment, kind words and support! I do my best at helping people as I can and look forward to returning in the future to bring some new content. To answer your questions of "why does some RC setup seem opposite of real world". That is a loaded question with many variables. Many things are done very similar to real world and others are not. It depends on application and performance. I think some factors of this is we are dealing with something much smaller and lighter than a real car so some things even when scaled just simply does not translate while some things do. Also, regarding the shock position, I think it mainly has to do with helping prevent the shock oil from leaking out lol. I believe some crawlers run shocks setups upside down and believe they have aftermarket support for this option as well. But most stock shocks and even aftermarket rc shocks just dont seal perfectly. Thank you again and best of luck in all your RC adventures!
Thank you for the support! Happy to help when I can and definitely the reason for the channel. giving the newer racers a place with help and entertainment.

Yes JB I do like how you showed a good shock build as how a bad shock looks like, good work!
Thank you Charles Manning I greatly appreciate it. I have a Shock building 2.0 video coming soon as well. Same concept but two different but common types of shocks.
Nice JB!
My final check is that left and right shock react similarly, before installing the springs......especially if your drag racing😎
Appreciate the support Canyon Racer. Great point and most definitely. I'm sure that's extremely important for the RC Drag Racers.
