I have 2 sets of those shocks on 2 of my crawlers and i think they are great, they come with 3 sets of springs so you can really tune them to your liking or like you, take the springs right out. Or even set the spring under the shock collar for max droop. Great wee running vid :}
Interesting. I'll have to try it on my cheapo cheapy crawler, a mostly modified FTX Ravine. Nah, doesn't seem to make much diffo, but them this thing is Tobby grade after all.
@@hewlejr I hear you my dude, I love messing with adjustable settings and will continue to do so, until I make it really good. And then I'll prolly keep on until I ruin it!!!!!!!!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁
Thanks! The R1 is one of the most fun rigs to mod as it bridges the gap between scale and comp and offers enough of both to make for a uniquely fun experience! Many of my mods are covered in detail in my threads on the rc crawler forums (username: supermoturd).

I had a Vanquish dig unit (best dig ever) installed next to an Axial transmission. The dig was set up to be actuated with the extra channels on my transmitter.
What are you using for the rear axle I noticed a couple times in it did via solid beep and then the rear axle would lock up you mind explaining how you did that are what you used
I have an Axial transmission and Vanquish Products Hurtz dig system installed. The dig allows you to lock or disengage the rear drive using a third channel on your transmitter. Super fun to drive and tightens turning radius remarkably. It also lets you shift the rear into neutral as you start steep climbs so that the rear wheels don't bite and flip you over backwards.
You prolly dont give a shit but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can stream pretty much all of the new movies on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my brother for the last few months :)
Already watched this vids many times too and I clearly want this thing more and more each time lol But how it is out of the box ? Are all your upgrades necessary to have something close or is it good ? No leak issue with shocks ? Thank you !
This guys probably on vacation crawling around in the rocks and bushes hiding from his wife and kids... I’d be doin the same if I had a rig like that 😂
I just tried what you've done here with my (extremely) modified everest 10. It's 50/50 rock crawler/scale truck. It's hangin in there with trx4s, scx10s and capras but I could never keep the front passenger tire down. I had to Fab some brackets but all said n done, it works awesome! Thanks a lot for the tip. I've tried evvvvverything to reduce torque twist and body roll. This mod practically eliminated it. Subbed! :-)
@@nolanhauge , I used the hardened steel Junfac drive shafts (5mm hole with 95-130mm travel) from rcrun.com. They are compact enough to provide clearance for the wraith spur gear cover. The transmission is the aluminum one from Vanquish Products. You'll need a Traxxas 58T 32P spur gear and a 6T 32P pinion to get the gear reduction where you want it. I have a tutorial on the RCCrawler forums that covers my overdrive mod for the R1.
I just got my R1 yesterday. I know this video is almost a year old but I still love watching it. I have to ask if you stretched the back to get the shocks in that position?
@@OverlandSubaru do you mind telling me the length and brand of the extended and original drive shalft for the V2 stealth chassis? I am considering switching to stealth v2 chassis.
@@Stonely1974 brand I'm not sure, I went with "punisher" shafts but they broke (lost pins, forgot lock tite) then I went with a Chinese aluminum no name because I needed something quick. It's really about the lenth, the cheap one's I bought (wish app for android) have held up remarkably well. 50+ crawls and zero issues.
