The springs were too stiff or long for my hyper 7 buggy, i put on rc8 springs to give me proper ride height. Really good shocks for the money, 16mm bore,4mm shaft, bleed cap, bladders, nice fit and finish. Only complaint is no hardware for the top. I made mine on a 3d printer.

They actually look like decent shocks for the price. The stock Granite shocks have a damper length of 102 mm and proline sells a set of front shocks and they are 101mm. The ZD front shocks are 120 mm in length. I guess the extra travel helps. IDK really but you have a video for shortening the shocks so I better check that out. 👍👍

I performed this upgrade along with the typhon a arms and noticed the cvd axles rub on the a arms due to the height increase. But I modded the shocks with spacers inside and lowered it about a 1/2 inch. I lost ground clearance but this thing is almost impossible to roll now and no longer pops wheelies when you gun it. It straight up launches now. No regrets.

I think they’re all the same or mostly but I took apart some Amazon OGRC granite shocks and was suprised to see a nice dampener with a nut on top as opposed to a dampener sandwiched with two e clips . Those are the absolute worst design imo , China junk on the Rlaarlo Omni has the e clips and they break all the time . Anyways for $30 some OGRC shocks are legit , big bore whatever they’re called . Totally fit the bill for my granite . The only other thing I’m adding is a center brace for the top and a globact alum steering thingy if I gets bad . Rubber or rings for the turnbuckles keeps em nice and non rattling . I seen dudes using m6 washers but the orange are defintely hands down better imho

For someone who really doesn't jump the truck much,is there any benefit to the shocks as far as steering?,I honestly love the truck it has metal pivot pins throughout but the steering just lacks imo.everything I've read about servos doesn't seem to aide in the steering...I would like it a lot tighter and more responsive
@phillybrc
@phillybrc Жыл бұрын
In terms of steering, I d say your stock shocks would work fine, but to say a better servo does not make a difference…I disagree. I servo with more torque will be able to turn wheels more sharply. This will help muscle through higher-traction, higher-resistance surfaces(like tall grass etc). Does that make sense? Try the Animos or Zoskay blue 25 or 35kg Amazon servo. It does a good job.

We both broke driveshafts. I realized then, the shocks sre too long and put too much angle on axles. I shortened them with tubing and was much better. Thx for watching till the end!

Well, the Vorteks shocks are shorter. I would try by shortening the travel by putting some thin airline tubing on the shafts within the shocks. Just cut the tubing the length you d like to lose. My guess is about 3/4”. Thanx for watching
