Thanks! I really do need to get some green goo for as many shocks as I build.

@@RoadsideRC I can't recommend it enough. I have had zero leakage and they feel just as fresh as when I built them. Something you didn't cover in the video that I did was sanding the burrs off of all the stuff on the plastic trees. This really helped with the overall smooth feel of the damper. Again though they're a fantastic value over a lot of dampers with less features.

Thanks! I think they could benefit from some longer rod-ends for sure. It would at least partially cheat the length and help them out.

Awesome thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you! You too!

Thanks for visiting!

Thank you 👍

That is a really good tip!

Great idea on the rod end!

@@RoadsideRC the part number on amain is MXS-820055 if you use em you dont have to change the stock shock mount on the bottom cause it keeps it as same diameter 👍

Glad my videos have been helpful! If you have any questions - feel free to ask!

@@RoadsideRC hi there,hope you doing fine.i have a question about shock position. i found out some japanese rcdrifter attached their shock upside down.is it gonna make any different than puting it regularly. its confused meh.cheers friend.

@@lumen2161 No difference. Some thing it helps the shock not leak.

Hey Lumen I also have a Sakura D5 and my dampers are way to stiff what oil did you end up using to make them smooth?

They should be for awhile. All moving parts start to wear eventually.

Thank you 👍

Thanks 👍

That is a cool trick actually! I do like that. I put the TR60 shocks from MST on my previous RMX and they did really well.

Sounds like your shocks are sticking. Try rebuilding them and looking for any drag or issues with smooth movement.

@@RoadsideRC Thank you! I am going to give it a refresh and hope it works nicely!

There is no one "best" answer. It is all up to you and tuning your shocks for your vehicle. Any answer I give you (or anyone else on the internet) will be wrong. Test and tune!

@@RoadsideRCroger that 🫡

Thanks!

Recomended by someone on our local track.for me who just started and been abusing the factory d5 shock.i can say those blue oring does feel different

It could use longer shocks for sure. I have not used the yeah racing big bore shocks, so hard to say specifically.

The QUTUS is just an evolution of the Big Bore Go dampers but offers much easier shock piston tuning versus the BBG which you would have to do traditionally by removing the “Jesus clips” and swapping out the piston. That’s the big difference with the QUTUS (which stands for “QUick TUning System”; QUTUS). The Big Bore Go is basically their pre-assembled, ready to go damper set. It’s exactly like the QUTUS, apart from the piston and it’s pretty much a drop-in replacement and all you do is add the oil, be it the 300cst that comes with them or a weight of your choice. Otherwise, it’s the same between them. Same springs, collars, diaphragm, shock ends, etc. The shock body, shafts and pistons are the only things that aren’t the same. Do be advised that the 50mm and 55mm parts are interchangeable between them. Not sure about the 60mm. As for which length to get, that depends on the ride height you want. The MST stuff like many other 1/10 touring cars, are set at 55mm. Go higher if you need more dampening or shorter if you want your car low. In either direction, do so at 5mm increments. Hope this helps.

The key for me is the DX5 allows you to assign the random switches on the controller to whatever channel you want. This allowed me to assign one of them to the Aux1 on the receiver, and allows you to control that channel in both the positive (+) and negative (-) directions. For the Futaba GYD450 gyro that I prefer, this is HUGE. It unlocks a key feature for that gyro. Special preview for you: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8t3ZtqD0sDOh2w.html

@@RoadsideRC would you say it works well for drifting or would investing in another Tx be needed?

Did you get the RTR? Honestly - the stock MST shocks are rather good. Here is upgrade #1, a good controller: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibSUjbt2qcCUoGQ.html Then - put a better gyro on it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJmgZdpnps7SpKs.html Then start removing weight: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9eZqaaFutC2l4U.html

Yes - they will work well.

To clarify: I cannot get the ball end to fit in the hole.

The rod ends must create threads, so they are very stiff. Using a good set of shock pliers to hold the rod still helps a lot as well.

@RoadsideRC i explained myself poorly and see you didn't see my clarification. I mean the ball ends to you screw into the car

There must be something binding, or causing extra friction. Check the pistons to make sure they slide smoothly up and down. Should take almost zero force.

Спасибо за совет!

Good news! Ride height is one of the more basic settings. My changing the length of the shock rod end, and by adjusting the spring pre-load - both are easy ways to change your ride height.

@@RoadsideRC thanks for the tip. I noticed when I went with the top mounted motor setup that my rear was sagging alot like almost slammed and the rebound from the dampers was not as good. Love your content!

Yes! That is a very fancy feature for sure.

Just total length. Go with the 60

@@RoadsideRC THANKYOU SIR 🇬🇧🇺🇲🕊️✌🏻👍🏻

Afro RC he's a seller for yokomo he recommends no oil he has a build video where he's building out a car and he talks about it he also talks about how back in the day they used to drill holes and pistons but he has some drifting experience in the 1 to 1 world very knowledgeable man

I hear this...but I don't see anyone successful in my area doing it.

Through both.

@@RoadsideRC with the adjustable setting discs. Do you have any advice on which I choose to drill?

I would do it just like I showed in the video.

@@RoadsideRC the metal spacer on top of the first e clip. I don't have them, what mm width is the spacer as I have a box of spacers

It comes with oil in the kit. I do not remember the weight.

Interesting, mine are butter smooth.

They are sticky and can benefit with o rings, o ring lube, and axon shock oil

Ha! Happens all of the time. The 3Racing shocks are good also.

Thanks!

Doh! Danged prices!
