My recommendation is to look up the King of the Mountain RC Bouncer Races group on FaceBook, where you will find all of the rules and the schedule. If you don't have FaceBook, you can follow the series on the @hillninjasadventures channel.
Check out my new custom build by Axial Jeep CJ-7 it was built for brawling, crawling, and trailing plus I real love what Axial did to let us enthusiasts go nuts being creative 😊 and your Jeep is so scale looking fir Bouncing and brawling 😮 I'm also thinking about slapping some Ryft AR60 axles under mine, 4 link front and servo over axle is better than the 3 link and drag link in the way for full lock on drivers side what's your opinion buddy?
Thank you for watching and commenting! I think that you have to answer a question yourself. What is your goal with it? Just weekend fun? You plan on racing it ever? Crawler competitions? Personally if I was in your situation, I would look for a platform that already has the suspension design you're wanting to run. A Wraith or Bomber would work well for the suspension you're talking about (AR60's & 4 link), a Ryft if you're looking for the larger AR14B axles. Does that make sense?
Yes I agree. @kellerrcperformance is responsible for these chassis'. Very talented RC rock bouncer chassis builder. He is also a very decorated racer, backing up his fab skills with racing skills! Thank you for taking the time to comment! I invite you to subscribe for more content from the RC rock bouncing community.
@@RCCommand absolutely agree about the racer/fabricator skills. And I’m definitely tuning in for more rock bouncing action. I have a mildly modified Ryft that I would consider one of my favorite RC’S
I bought 2 sets of 6063-03 springs and with 1 secondary and 2 primary springs I still have room for a third primary spring. Something is not right here....I think you're recommending a front spring set that I bought but you're using the rear slash springs. 6063-04 should the right ones.
Oh...I'm looking for about 20-30% sag. But full travel when unloaded though I can imagine it might unload and loop out on the steeps. I'm trying two 6063-03 secondary springs one blue one green in the front, and the stock rear primary blue with secondary green. It seems like it might be alright. Worth trying before buying more springs. Also changed the oil to 10 front 20 rear. Looking forward to testing.
What secondary spring did you use on the right at 6:00 ? My 6063-03 secondaries don't even reach the shock upper at full extension. Even with 2 secondaries I still have room for one primary.
Yes ma'am in the US you can. They prefer lipo bags, but TSA has let me through several times with out them. You must "carry on" the batteries. They can not be checked. There are lipo bags on most aircrafts I've traveled on as well. Just have to ask for them.
It's amazing where I started to now. Hillsaw will be back on hills again but setup differently. Also camera doesn't do justice how steep those hills are. To this day its still slick as hell.
Really like the close up views. A more in depth walk around of each rig would be awesome, and a good way to entertain through the winter. I'd love to know what some of the these parts are and how they perform.
Thank you as always for watching and commenting. I have a cool video coming out soon that focus' on the Keller RC Performance built buggies. It breaks down what they're using for parts as well as introduces you to some of the drivers racing in the King of the Mountain race series.
This was 2019. Haha nope. We're trying to get him back down here! My vote is King of the Hammers, but I told him pick a race and I'd make sure he got the VIP treatment. Sam is good people.
More info on how to build would be awesome. I'm sure I can build what looks like a bouncer chassis after ten minutes on youtube but will a brazed brakeline cage stand up to abuse? Pros and cons of various materials and weld/brazing would be helpful. I believe Cash is using tigged stainless (rod or tube?). Shawn is using steel rod (stainless?). I scoured the internet but I couldn't find any info on bazing specific to bouncers. I've looking everywhere but facebook ( I'm not on it ).
Great question. If you do it right, brazing SHOULD hold up. However, you make a good point, in that the big names are welding. I TIG weld mine, and use a combination of solid rod and brake line. Please let me know if/when you start one, I'd love to follow along. Please don't be like most, and not do your homework on what a real rock bouncer looks like and how they function. I see so many people hobble some tube together and call it a rock bouncer (because it's a tube chassis). Rock bouncing has a rich history in off road racing. It's worth looking into. If you have any questions or need help, don't hesitate to message me privately. I'd love to help.
Good to know and much appreciated! Welding is out of reach for me but I don't mind taking the time to craft quality on the cheap if it's worth doing. I think the brazing should hold up but I have doubts about brake line unless it's only for secondary structure that is less likely to take direct impacts. So I've been leaning towards mixing stainless rod and tube. I like rock crawling but IMO it's not a bouncer if it doesn't bounce. I'm upgrading my Ryft Kit build to launch up hills. I've been watching Busted Knuckle builds and various full scale comps as well as over half of yours, Curtis's and Shawn's videos. I really like Shawn's build style in general but have some ideas of my own to integrate. I hope to get into it this winter. I'll let you know as things materialize.
Not that I'm aware of. It seems like most of the connections are made on facebook which I don't do. Unless you can get to some events to network. Outside of youtube I'm quite isolated.
