Fly Wheels Ramp with Launcher
THE MOST ASKED QUESTION ON THE CHANNEL - "Where do you get the ramps from?
They were purchased from Toys R Us over 8 years ago. They are Ten Eighty Skate Ramps, the Kryptonics Edition. Came with the two ramps and a table top. I don't think you will be able to find it new but it may be available on the secondary markets.

I know its silly but I added the clear diff cover on mine. I like to show off all the shiny anodized stuff underneath. 😁

I can only imagine how this will perform. Looking good so far, that center diff will make a big difference in the power and performance. Take care and best wishes to you and the family

@sparetimerc Thanks Al! Wait until you see stage 2.

Nice! Defiantly something on my list that I would like to do too. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

@JasonPerrinRCVlogs Like the channel name change! This has been an enjoyable build. I'm still playing with the springs. I went to the blues now, just need to get some time to run it.

@RickyD1968 4 месяца назад

Awesome video !!! Why does traxxas put crappy plastic shock caps on almost all aluminum high end ultimate shocks ???? NOT COOL !!!!

@ReadySetRC 4 месяца назад

@RickyDRC1968 True! But I will say they've never popped off for me.

@corygarbutt9880 3 месяца назад

I got the black special edition raptor R and on the first run on 3S I blew out the rear shocks, repaired them and blew them out again on second run, got some lol amazon hd aluminum shocks they seemed to work well on road but I took it back off road and bent the rear shock shaft driver's side on the second run and the bottom plate came out and shock separated and yea fun times

@ReadySetRC 3 месяца назад

@corygarbutt9880 How high are you launching this thing😆 Yeah the GTR shocks are a good upgrade from the stockers. I've used the Amazon special ones but only on my rally. They've been good so far.

@2piecenobisuit763 3 месяца назад

hey great vidoes my guy......i was wondering were you got the traxxas GTR blue shocks assembled 4 pack from ?? and should any 1/10 scale slash 4x4 shocks work on the rapter r ?? im new to the hobby

@ReadySetRC 3 месяца назад

@2piecenobisuit763 Thank you👍 Welcome to the hobby! Little secret called JRC(Jenny's RC) ssshhhh😆 I wouldn't put any other Slash shocks on since it is going to be either the same as this or not even as new as these. Something about the springs on this feels stiffer and the plastic looks a little different. Could be me but just looks different. The GTR shocks work great. I'm still testing but I think the black spring rates are a little too soft. You could go up to pink or blue. I went up to blue but have not had a chance to take it out yet.

@rcjoe406 4 месяца назад

Nice job I used the gtr shocks on my stampede night and day difference 👍 hey 2 of my stock slash shocks are leaking all the time now any ideas how to stop this ? 13:51

@ReadySetRC 4 месяца назад

@rcjoe406 Thank you! Is it from the caps, usually that's where they leak from. Most cases, replacing to the metal caps usually is the fix.

@Oeltanker87 Месяц назад

Do you used the GTR long, or GTR xx-long Shocks and Springs? Spring are the black one, right? Thanks in advance.

@ReadySetRC Месяц назад

@Oeltanker87 These springs actually came with the shocks since it was from a parted out Ultimate. But the fronts are the long and the xx-long are for the rear. I'm experimenting with the springs It needs some stiffer springs. I'm now running blue springs on it.

@Oeltanker87 Месяц назад

@@ReadySetRC at the traxxas shop are the shocks always without springs.

@Oeltanker87 Месяц назад

@@ReadySetRC the xx-long are always for the rear, or is this a tested combination by you that works fine for the raptor?

@ReadySetRC Месяц назад

@@Oeltanker87 They are but you can find them on eBay from those guys who part out new RC's for cheaper and they will come with everything on it.

@ReadySetRC Месяц назад

@@Oeltanker87 They are always for the rear. Nothing special I'm trying.

@ninthislandrc 4 месяца назад

Initially, was trying to figure out what you meant by "ultimate shocks", because there is no such thing. Then, I realized you were referring to the "ultimate" option vehicles. Technically, these aren't "ultimate" shocks (again, no such thing)...these are GTR shocks. Other than that, looking good.

@ReadySetRC 4 месяца назад

@ninthislandrc In NY we abbreviate and reference everything and assume everyone knows😆 These are shocks that were parted off a Traxxas Slash 4x4 Ultimate. I reference them as "Ultimate" because I'm trying to reference where they are off of rather than them being GTR shocks. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't believe you can buy the blue anodized GTR shocks with the springs which is why I'm referencing like that.

@ninthislandrc 4 месяца назад

@@ReadySetRC EVERYTHING found on in any 'Ultimate' Traxxas vehicle can be purchased separately. Put another way, any Traxxas part found on any Traxxas vehicle, can be purchased (well, except for very special "limited edition" bodies, such as Snap-On bodies). The 'key' might be knowing which springs came with your shocks, in case you need to get softer/firmer springs. Truth is, the Traxxas GTR & GTS shocks are among the best shocks available...which is exactly why I even use them on non-Traxxas vehicles. 👍🏼
