In this video I show you how to make the Arrma Vorteks 3s the toughest basher ever! We install the RC MadLabz chassis brace kit and send this truck to the moon! The Vorteks takes unbelievable landings off the death ramp and even has a concrete chassis slam! It is no surprise that the chassis is still in perfect condition with this RC MadLabz Chassis brace on here! The only breakage was a shock rod end. Stay tuned for part 2 where we will install the shim kit, shock brace kit, shock bump kit, and 6s typhoon shocks! I will soon install the Arrma Typon 6s shocks and that shock breakage will never happen again. This kit is amazing guys and you can go check him out on eBay! If you own a 3s Arrma then this is one of the best mods you can do to your truck! You'll never snap another chassis again! RC MadLabz Kit 👉 ebay.com/usr/rcmadlabz. #rc #arrma #thunderrc

@buttracerrc 2 года назад

Cool Vid from you again. I put the same Shocks on my Granite, they are good but not perfect. One thing on the 3s Series from Arrma ist the plastic Drivetrain. I will change it to metall if the parts are all available here in Germany. One Tipp for you. When you are soldering the XT90 Plug - put the other Plug (with no wires) in. Because of this the heat of the soldering goes to the other plug and the risk of melting the case of the plug is not so big. Hope you know what i mean, because of my bad english.

@thunderrc 2 года назад

Thank you brotha!🤩⚡Yeah man those shocks look cool but are not the most durable for sure.👍💯💯

@JohnnychimpO907 2 года назад

The fact that the washer didn’t go inside that little hex isn’t anything to think twice about, because that hex is holding it in place regardless… preventing any turning whatsoever. Great video as always man!

Not bad for Amazon Shocks I bet they would have lasted if not landing on cement. I think the shock shafts are thicker on Vorteks in comparison too the Granite maybe those new bump stops will work good on stock shocks.
