I'm busy with the Typhon and came across this little treasure when I came to the shocks. The Arrma shock system is terrible for a number of reason, NO LEAKS But terrible concept. The idea of having to over tighten something for it to align & work doesn't feel good but with these you have to. Any way hope it makes sense and as always catch you in the next one.

Those arrma shocks are fine if u fit some tamiya silicone o-rings and add an extra one. Mine dont leak at all now. Also the red tool that comes with arrma kits has a tool to undo the shocks without having to use the bottom spring perch.
@mehimrc1314
@mehimrc1314 2 года назад
That tool rounded, my shocks don't leak but if they ever do I know what to do cheers dude. If you could add the size of the o-rings needed that would help for the future.

I did think the v3 arrma range had non leaky shocks. But 2 of mine busted which is annoying i have the proline shocks in my basket, just justifying spending £100 on shocks, but heard there very well made and worth it.
@mehimrc1314
@mehimrc1314 2 года назад
Yeah the shocks weren't leaking probably because they weren't even full 🤣. I hate that stupid design to undo the shock cap, I was looking at the same shocks no doubt and your right on needing to justify the cost.

Only applies to typhon and granite, other 3s use a shorter bore which do not have the tightening notch on the perch. Your provided ARRMA multi-tool has 2 sizes of shock removers. Dont use pliers! The design isn't "disgusting" at all if you use the right tools...
@V8chump

If you watched the video the shocks were already damaged… the included tools wouldn’t work… they were damaged because of the goofy design flaw that isn’t needed, which he called disgusting

The tool was the cause of the damage as it slips out of place due to it being plastic. It's a goofy design for sure

They're ok shocks just can't get my head around the locking system and how it needs wrenched on to get the shock eyes inline and the shock fully compresses.. are the Keaton shocks a direct fit of need adapting.

@ksrnate 2 года назад
@@mehimrc1314 Yeh I know what ye mean. I've only had mine apart once when I first got the car to change the oil so it all worked fine. I guess after a few disassembles you'll get that problem you had. And the kraton shocks were easy mate. I bought 2 sets of fronts coz they're the exact same size as the stock rears then for the front you have to shorten them 10mm that's all. Bit of rubber hose inside. Makes it look so much more quality and feels mint! I need to do a vid on it really coz it's had a lot of upgrades now 🤘🏻

@mehimrc1314 2 года назад
Aye man do a video your entertaining as hell plus you'll explain stuff better than me. Dude this was my first time taking the shocks apart, I just knew one was on stupidly tight then it slipped. Plus they weren't even half full so I've been landing on springs alone. Do your video asap hardcore reckons these 3s cars are going bye bye. Either they are or he might if he's got this wrong and arrma sue him or something daft.

@ubreakitirepairit3569
@ubreakitirepairit3569 2 года назад
Must be an old outdated video. After closing up the shocks, they should have a certain amount of rebound, similarly to car shocks when they are compressed; the rod will push its way back out. Usually the bladder inside of RC shock will create that effect. BTW there is an included tool with your manual to open the shocks.
@mehimrc1314
@mehimrc1314 2 года назад
My video outdated? Depending on how you want your shock set up, you can have no rebound or rebound No "should have" its optional by the user. The tool provided is just that a propa tool that flexes and bends after one use. Thanks for commenting hope you found it interesting.
@mulberry8930
@mulberry8930 2 года назад
Both of you are right, normal shocks have a rebound but surprisingly these don’t have a rebound, maybe thicker oil will give the rebound.

If the height and travel is the same then it's entirely up to you what you use. They might bend easier if you bash, but that's the risk we take 😜

@thepatternforms859 you pull the spring down and add the clips at the top in between the spring and the shock top. Basically change your shock oil to slightly thicker and add the preload clips. People do add 6s shocks to these cars but I think you need to space them out a little.
