To the Top- Ep. 1- Shocks 

Really glad your got this series up and moving. Thanks for the info , opinions and , always giving us the why and how you make your decisions.

Loving all your new how to vids Tim, they’re great and really helpful to us noobs. Keep up the great work and thanks (from Australia) for putting in the time. I haven’t tuned my shocks yet but sill give it a go now.

I have been looking for this exact information for a while, thank you

The Traxxas XL & XXL Shocks are pretty awesome, and a great many Springs to choose from!

Thanks for sharing man, definitely some great info here!

Thank you sir!! Well done. I have watched dozens of hours of shock building as a race but there isn’t any information on how to dial these features of crawlers. For people that compete and want the most of their vehicles need this stuff.!!!

Enjoyed the shock vid man. Just built my first carbon gspeed setup with vanquish ultra axles and trans.

Excellent work

Ah that’s what I wanted to know !:) thank you very much! Very nice video!

Man sweet crawlinggrat content!!! 👍✌️🍻 Big Sub!

Ive noticed that the 2660 shocks have a very high damping rate with the stock (included) fluid and Mini T springs. I'm guessing the pistons are intended for bashing and high speed use. To get the equivalent in my Capra shock, I need to run 80 or 90wt! After running the 2660 on my GSpeed rig, I really like the control and predictability of slow damping because the truck gives you plenty of warning before it rolls or flips. Everything seems to happen in slow motion.

Thank you good sir!

Thanks buddy

Very helpful content. Subscribed and looking forward to your future videos. Glad you covered shocks in this video. One question I have is what to do about the front shocks unloading on my V3 builds having AR44 and AR45 axles when going up more extreme angles. As you described, I have Traxxas Big Bore 2660 shocks...85mm fronts (5mm internal spacers) and 90mm rears. Using pink/orange Losi Mini-T springs. Currently have 25wt/40wt AE shock oils with minimal rebound. Using modified Big Bore spring cups. 60/40 weight front-to-rear. Many thanks.

Keep up the work dude I was being insensitive but your doig great job

More great info! 😎💥💥💥🏁

Random suggestion of the day. I actually run springs in the front an Full droop in the rear. I have been doin this on my cheater rigs for years and even on steep climbs it tends to work really well. May I suggest you try it. May surprise you how well it can work on the right truck. My latest Gspeed v3 I have Capra shocks with the soft springs on front and custom Traxxas/axial hybrid shock Full droop on the rear and it is amazing

`One of the best Crawler Shock Break Downs on RU-vid , Thank You very much TRD Adventures :) Would love to see a break down of the build and spec of that rig on the bench followed by the class 1 and class 2 on the shelf , Looking forward to the next Video , Fast becoming my go to Rc Crawling channel 10/10

Great 👍🏻 information

Greatinfo brother

Thanks for the info 🤙

AWESOMENESS!!! 😎

Excellent video, very helpful information on shocks. Will you be making a video on anti squat?

Already got them lol an the traxxas shocks I thought that’s what you liked to use to

Rc Cola haha heck yea These are very informative vids Thank you

Nice!

*insert random dog here* Hey man, new to your channel, love the content. Very helpful in my builds! Also love your blue Great Dane! Just gorgeous!! Keep up the great work!

TRD , I recently purchased some Dulux fab short shocks 96mm eye to eye plus w/ 1/4" spacers. I've never owned Dulux shocks prior to this, do you know or anyone else know why these shocks are soooo hard like won't compress cleanly up & down, it's like there almost gummy. most all my other shocks I run 50-60 plus wt oil yet with these I'm down to 30wt & I can't get them to move freely up & down its like they stay wherever you compress them at. if I squat my truck they won't move up unless I'm running losi orange springs with like 3 o ring spacers benieth them? these are on my Tgh V3 chassis weighing 6lbs.. I was expecting something unbelievable & to be honest I can't stand them, if anyone can give me some advice or have experienced this with these shocks I'd appreciate it? Thank you

Very helpful information. Thank you. Is that a Mastiff you are petting?

Good info thank you You have a brindle female. I have 2 presa canario the boy is 200LB...

You able to run droop with that setup, like internal springs / pen spring.

Great video! What's your preferred spring setup for droop on your Desert Lizards for a 5lb. to 7lb. rig? Also do you run yours invert?

👍🏽 From France 🇫🇷

Great video bro. NEw subscriber here

How did you get your modified big bores to work well ! I got some and there rubbish

good videos, I would like to know how you do those shock absorbers they have an impressive touch, I would buy you some if you send them to Spain thanks

That’s another question I have is what’s a good hard body to buy

Well... I got 90mm gmade internal sprung shocks running droop and my ride height has substantially increased, scx10 iii basecamp

Are you using the mini t springs to set the internal droop or some other spring?

Is that rc cola in the background? Where did you find that?

@TRD Adventures do you prefer actual dravtechs or traxxas big bores and what size length

Where have you mounted your servo winch's, just bought one last night from 3br

I am new here.. I have a vs4-10 pro and a element ecto and a phoenix. Now have 90 percent of all my gspeed goods. I didn't want to use my ecto so should or can I use my phoenix portals and a different transmission

What axles would you use if you had your choice

so you run pink S in front and orange H in rear or the burned orange M in rear

..meh, nice video Subscribed... 🤘😎

Try running air in your tires it was best thing I ever did on my truck

I like about a 6 pound truck

You have number to drive tech shocks

i have extra shocks give me a email

It seems like the stock shocks are usually the most reliable and work the best. Ive always slightly relicated the mounting positions to a more crawler type set up. I tbink its ridiculous that only a few companies are manufacturing decent shocks.

Cannot take you very seriously with those glasses bro........😮
