I long for the kind of happiness i see in John's eyes when he's playing with his toys.. :)

I replaced my shocks with proline SC front shocks, replaced the axles with ar44 axles, replaced the driveshafts to get the ar44 axles to work, and lastly I replaced the links with axial links.

was rolling watching the rotor roll off the table, that look is the same on I have when stuff like that happens

Those stock shocks do need a complete overhaul/rebuild. Mine run silky smooth now, no sticking anymore. Sanded/filed the piston (sharp edges), slightly widened the piston holes, polished the shaft (...), filed and polished the shaft outlet of the casing (that's where it actually gets stuck), greased the o-rings, refilled with fresh oil and voila, super smooth shocks.

Hahahahahaha!!!! You are killing me dude!!! Great to see you working on this rig. On my Trx4's i haven't done to much. Swapping a jeep body for my defender body made the biggest difference for stability. And bave a few wheel and tire setups that i swap.

Had the same problem with the schocks, refilled them with 400 gauge and bleeded them. Then I found on thingiverse other schockmounts for the rochobby. 3D printed them and elevated the rig with approx 1cm. Only happy times now when I'm running with the Willy's Jeep

This is a great series!!! Please keep improving this rig!! I’m getting one too because of you.

My shocks stuck as well. I ended up removing the oil and two translucent bottom washers, plus moved the upper mounting point so they had no side strain on the pistons. I removed all preload on the offside shocks and added a 1/4" on the nearside to take up the weight of my military figure, making the jeep run level. The body weight stops most spring bounce and the suspension soaks up the bumps lovely at any speed. If it was a basher I'd use oil in the shocks but this heavy slow jeep doesn't need any IMO...👍

Another highly entertaining video.

great

Cannot say that Vanquish shocks would be my first choice for using as replacement shocks. Takes some playing around with to get them right.

Sweet. I just finished some shocks for the axial II umg10, . Yesterday, in THE upcoming stay tuned in, for,, . 💯. . I have the Crawlmaster 540 5-slot 20t, in , on the hobbywing ESC 1080. 👊👍👍

Thinkimg about swapping out the stock Gen 8 Axe shocks for a set of Proline Big bore 90mm. Was looking at the Pro Spec Crawler by Proline til i read a lot of reviews about leakage.

Getting some Bob Ross vibes here😁

If I were to change out the stock 3 slot 35T motor for a HH 5 slot motor, which one would you recommend? How about a brushless system?

I want you to know I just watched SteveKnows play Quest games while being shocked, then came here to you installing shocks. I was like, "Awwwwwe".

Very nice toy sir wish have that in my room.

Do you think it’s possibly to convert these to leaf springs. My buddy has one and it looks tuff to do since the front axels are right at the edge of the frame

just got this jeep in today I got the 1/12 scale my q is can I use the spectrum smart battery and what conector do I need I am new to this hobby

I put stock redact gen 8 wheels and tires on mine and it made it look a lot more cool, but my shocks are seized though and the big tires rub with out proper flex

I just ordered this vehicle, I hope my shocks are better! If not I will have to order some new ones too.

Yes, take it off!!

Such a fun channel, really dig the lighthearted vibes, like always 🤙 doesn’t everyone change stuff on their rigs? 👍💥💯🤘

Great video cheech

I could see myself hanging out with you sir. I'll just keep dreaming.

I replaced the stock shocks with brand new pull-off shocks from a Traxxas TRX-4 I got from ebay. The only things I had to do to make them perform flawlessly on the 1/6 scale Jeep were: (1) swap the pivot balls from the OEM shocks to the Traxxas shocks; and (2) reduce the spring preload on the new shocks.

I seriously need to know what your smoking 🤣 your allwyas nuts in your videos

If I sent you a 1220 brushless inboard motor that is 10300kv I have in my scx24 could you improve its design?

I have had bad luck with my incisions shocks... leakage and the like.. I've been using the proline scalers with far more success. I do like that, jeep tho'!

Is this body able to be disassembled to paint a different exterior and interior? This rig looks fun!

What mm shocks did you install on this? Mine sag they dont hold the body

Yes, the stock shocks are terrible. It's the first thing I changed the day I got mine. Also installed a stronger steering servo. Love it!

Man you get at least 20 views a day from me (at very least) your awesome but honestly sometimes I get jealous I catch my girlfriend watching Holmes hobbies KZfaq videos she likes you more than I do damn you John Holmes!

Couldn’t you just ease up on the preload on the stock shocks? Wouldn’t that solve the problem?

The body is coming off

how much for those shocks that dont work?

What about driveline up grades

✳️Good day John ! 🙂 - Would you be so kind as to pull out your AXIAL TRAIL RANGER, when you get a chance !?? -I think it is.....ya, the green one with flames ! 😉 - I have never seen one 'til today, on-line, and I am 1-year into the crawler/scale segment. 🙂 I bought a SCX10 II Jeep Cherokee Kit for $299 from HOBBYTOWN USA back in April, this year.... great product & awesome quality, very durable as well !! So I find that I'm researching the AXIAL rigs from the prior 8 years or so, cuz of their simplicity & radical lines. (design stuff !) - There's something desirable about the angles & proportion of the TRAIL RANGER BODY, to me !! -😲(this is new to me) -Would you possibly do a refreshed- review ?? 🤔 -I think some people new to the RC crawler/trail truck segment would enjoy seeing it for their first time, like myself. -Just throwin' it out there ! 😉 -Thankyou John !! 😁 - Have a great weekend brother !🤘 - Portland, OR 🇺🇲

I also bought those shocks for my rig. Being a huge fan of Incision and Vanquish, i was a little disappointed because they leak. I hope yours don't.

Office documentary at Holmes hobbies. I’d watch it.

Is this 100% waterproof from stock?

Just change the shock oil to 25w and u have excellent shocks, remove rear spacer.

Trx-4 shocks are the best

I just got mine today and shock stick out of the box -.- took one apart and it looks like the rods are poorly made and scratch up.

I was thinking about throwing portals on mine 🤔

Hi Bruce....

"..noothing on the front"..it is like the original :D

Carnitas excellent choice in tacos!!

Is this rc good for a beginner like me. 👍

#UGADUGA

Round in the chamber, lmao!

I had one of those hard body willy's I started to do a build on, on my other channel Rc Crawler Workbench. Also got videos using HH ESC'S, Motors, server's, and lockers. I'd appreciate any views and feedback.

If you can make that a respectable wheeler I'm getting one too.

I guessed right, and stock rigs, of course my rigs are "stock"........ish

Makes me want to break out my Wicked Willie

Yo mr Holmes what taking forever to get my shv500v3 order it the 28th😡

You're definitely going to take the body off.

You won’t take the body off. No high fives. They haven’t been cool since Top Gun.

I'm going to guess removal

120mm would have worked awesome you would have maintained ground clearance plus you would have had droop. Doesnt look like you can climb over a paper plate now brother. No disrespect just saying 👍

Nope. You’ll just leave it for added frustration lol👍🏽🐒🇺🇸

Depi ayiti jeveu achete yunn

Put some clothes on Bruce! Kids might be watching 🤣🤣🤣

Can not handle a stock rig at all the electronics are always first to go I wish they made more rollers

Heeeeeey my name is Bruce..................... And I'm a black guy! Cool! 😂

Most likely take the body off

😂
