Crawler Canyon Junkview: Amazon sorta-kinda GTS shocks + Injora Spring Pack 

That was good!🤣🤣🤣

Fully agree and I would be among the members already if I could find a “jointhecrawlercanyoncrew” button

The process to work around the fact that the join button does not appear in the app is annoying enough that I just don't want to bother people with it. The real question is, why isn't there a join button in the app?

Under the video if you tap on the little round icon the one with the truck it takes you to a page and on that page it says subscribe and next to it says join. I'm using the cell phone app. I am putting my 3yr old to bed and just found it to my surprise. Hopefully this will get out there!

Yep I agree too, i tell anyone who talks about crawlers about the channel.

Spent All the budget on motor lol.

@@JUSTHAVEFUNRC exactly. It mostly serves as a trail truck for the boy so "Sharegoo" will do fine.

Most Amazon shocks are hopeless, these at least work. I don't think they'll live forever, and they're certainly not the best shocks I've ever seen, but they manage to hold on to (most) of the oil.

@@CrawlerCanyon they've already lasted much longer than the factory shocks included in the Gmade kit. I reckon that doesn't surprise you if you've ever seen those. Definitely the Achilles heel of the Buffalo.

Let's just say they're not beating a path to my door.

That is indeed what the math says for springs in series. But does nothing to explain why I can change out a pair of 3.4lb springs in series with a single 2.4lb spring and it acts softer. Stacked springs have never worked IMO, and continue to not work now. Ignoring the math, I have never in my life seen an instance where springs in series are compressed and both springs collapse at the same rate. Not once. Because the top spring doesn't see the same force as the bottom spring-- it sees that force after it passes through the lower spring. So the halving of the rate for the doubling of the coils seems to me to be something that only occurs if both ends of the spring are experiencing an equal force simultaneously. But we will likely never (or close to never) see the same load at both ends of the spring. As I've said-- I'm not a mathematician, but I have seen what does and doesn't work.

i could use the other springs on one of my other builds its going to be a off road wrecker and a haul truck for a big gooseneck trailer.

I think we can agree that on a rock crawler, we'd all trade skinnier shafts for bigger seals, because not leaking straight-out-of-the-package is a pretty nice feature.

@@CrawlerCanyon True true, i think i have only ever broken 1 shock shaft rock crawling and that was from a 20 foot fall onto jagged rocks.

Better pistons might make them functional. No getting around those dumb 3.5mm shafts, though.

The Desert Lizard is the king of "bargain" shocks, IMO. I'm running... 5 sets?

@@CrawlerCanyon right on! I believe I have a VS410 chassis on the way, going to put the Desert Lizards on it and send some pictures to Josh at HarleyDesigns.😆

I'll never hate on a shock that is perfectly functional. So long a shock checks the boxes of "doesn't leak, correct length, can be tuned" it's good to go.

I run DL on 3 rigs. No complaints. I catch flak for it all the time

@@StubbsRC I don't even have a rig yet. I got the DLs in anticipation of getting one(life happens). I haven't put any oil in them, but I've been playing with spring tuning.

A Google operated company would NEVER make things more difficult for a competitor's product to operate. NEVER. PERISH THE THOUGHT.🤨

@@CrawlerCanyon 🤪

100% with you on 1:1 shocks. Had Tein Super Street (re-sprung and re-valved) in my previous car, and Super Street (complete with EDFC) in my current car.

Thanks for the info nonetheless 😊
