Got some sound this time! Good work
Great video Zack, some deez bands on the front would def help maximize how steep of an incline you can achieve.
The predictability and smoothness of the action in the shocks are a game changer. Lighter battery up front might allow you steeper inclines as well. The battery pack you run is big.
Thanks! Yeah I need to bite the bullet and get some deez bands, but also need better smaller batteries too for sure
@@HobbyDrophow do you post pics on here we run the 2662’s I was gonna post a pic on them and how we set them up but can’t figure out how to post pics man great knowledge and I love supporting all you guys cam has a awesome chasis it was cool watching you guys in his live that day I’ve been following you ever since love your rig and the chopped top thanks man much love from Prescott Arizona here in the granite dells
@@RecklesskrawlerRCdrewlandau thanks for jumping over to my channel! I appreciate the comment. Sadly I don’t think it’s possible to post videos. That would be nice tho!!
Good info on shock setup. I been working on my Desert Lizard seams to be working. Always a full view Good content. Stay safe my friend
Thanks for watching all the way through! That’s awesome, I need to get my videos shorter haha. Desert lizards can seem to be pretty nice but take a lot of tuning to get em dialed.
2660s are my go to shock!! 2661s are also great if you want something a little longer. they just flat out work. super consistent and predictable. rigs looking real good for first outing on them. with priceys being internal spring on both sides (similar to desert lizards but way better), so it helps hold the front end down on climbs and helps prevent torque twist, helping your vertical. right as im typing this, you mentioned the deez bands, and that will help a bunch. test the theory with rubber bands first. ide also look at your link geometry, i havent needed deez bands after getting geometry sorted. maybe a link riser out back, and the adjust your front upper links a bit, should help. reaper has plenty of adjustment for you too. more test and tune lol 😂
That’s true, tuning the links is something I haven’t fiddled with at all! It’s an easy first place to start. I’m running rubber bands on my Capra so that’s a good idea too! Thanks for the comment and advice!
Great job. This is exactly how I like to test my changes.
After this I would have made a rear link change to fix the front end lift.
Thanks 👍🏼 yeah I’m still new to the geometry and tuning…I know the concepts behind rear link risers and such but not in any sort of detail. Sadly with the LCG bed I can’t add a link riser without clearance issues.
@@HobbyDrop Iam still a noob also. I said I would make the change. Didn’t say it would work 🤣🤣
Great video, I also have the traxxas big bore shocks on my g speed v3 and I run the soft spring all the way around. I find it helps keep the body roll down while climbing off camber. The stiffer rear spring actually pushes the chassis to the low side and the result is rolling off the car. A softer spring will allow the car to sit more stable all around and you can play around with weight to keep the front down. Bands on the front is a huge improvement in keeping the stability of the car on side hills and even vertical climbs. Again good comparison
Thanks man! Do you use deez bands? I have heard good things!
@@HobbyDrop I don't use deez bands but I do use scale bungees. They help keep the front down tremendously
@@connorclark8541 oh nice haha that’s cool! I’ve used rubber bands on my Capra. Even that does good
Some of my favorite shocks. Personally I put a internal limiter in my front shocks to get rid of some of the flex and not allow them to unload as much making it more predictable. I’d also fiddle with your anti squat in the rear and anti dive up front before adding the shocks bands. Not sure where you have the upper links mounted in the rear but I’d try low holes at the chassis since your running straights.
Hmm maybe even consider trying just the 2660s in the back and priceys in the front? Seems it could work pretty well. Unless your a guy that likes to having things like that matching lol
@@speedytraxxas360 haha my builds aren’t very pretty, but that would be quite noticeably different 😂 I’ll mess with the link geometry for sure
Would you recommend these for a scx10ii
Absolutely! This truck was an scx10ii builders kit originally!
Did you limit the internal shock shaft
I did not.
Now try some dravtechs
Psh these are better….jk 😂I’ve never driven those before.
@@HobbyDrop i have both, i cant tell the difference in performance. its just a different shock body and are just able to drop in without any mods like the 2660s need, but the seals n such are the same as 2660s. maybe slight different coating on the shock shaft might make marginal difference, but not really enough to notice.
@@Greg.Bosworth they are quite a bit more pricy too right?
@@HobbyDrop I have multiple sets of both, the dravtechs are just a refined version of the big bores. I find the dravtechs are noticeably smoother and the "upgraded" shock caps for the big bores tend to leak. By the time you've bought the shock caps and springs for the big bores you're almost the same cost as dravtechs.
@@philthy5058 oh dang, the dravs are only $40 a pair…so it is pretty much the same.
