Hi my Rc friends, today we are going to be working on the Traxxas TRX 4M defender and we are gonna be fitting the 53 mm aluminium shocks
I’m going to be showing you guys how I set up the shocks on my crawlers, and this is how I get a realistic movement resembling a real 4x4
I hope you all enjoy this tutorial video, I will be doing some more upgrades soon so stay tuned. Don’t forget to like subscribe comment and smash the bell guys, so you don’t miss what’s coming
Thanks everyone - Zábava
Great work Ryan. The balance of voice over and music is spot on 👍.
Thank you so much bro, it's great to get some feedback on the videos.
Really appreciate all the support you're giving me. 👊😉
I just picked up these shocks and your tutorial helped greatly. Thank you, love all your TRX-4M content 👍
They're decent shocks I've had no leaking yet, and thank you very much I really appreciate the support.
TRX4m power 💪💪💪
Hi Ryan, once again I was able to refer to one of your tutorials, i just got these shock and I've set them up as you did. No bouncy rebound but load of articulation. Once more thank you for your great content.😊😊😊
Hi Julian 👋
I am so glad to hear that! 😁
I really appreciate all the support and the feedback bro as it means at least I'm on the right path!
I am sorry for the lack of content but took a little bit of time off to get my health back and enjoy a bit of time with some friends that came from the states.
Thank you so much bro 🤜💥🤛
My TRX4M is gettin a shock upgrade. 😊 Thanks for the insight on these shock. Makes the purchase decision much easier.
You will not be disappointed so far they are being really good.
I also love how smooth the action is 💯
Thank you and I'm so glad my video was able to help 🤜💥🤛
Shocks look pretty good. I have used some injora products on my 1/10 Been pretty happy with them. Thumbs up here.
Thank you bro, I have been using Injora for a lot of my builds and so far I am pretty impressed with the quality.
Thank you very much for watching and commenting 🤜💥🤛
Bro thanks so much for this tutorial I really didn't like the performance from my traxxas TRX 4 m after I fitted the sharks do to their rebound.
So I really appreciate this video, I changed the shocks it up last night and it crawls so much better and way more realistic movement❤❤❤❤
No worries thank you very much for watching and commenting my friend.
This is the way I like setting up my shocks on my Crawlers, with neutral rebound.
It really does give away better performance when crawling and a much better with better articulation.
You let me know what you think of your setup over the next few weeks 😁👍
Great video! Thanks for the info. 👍
Bro I'm glad you liked it, that's the way I like setting up my shocks, to try and get a really realistic movement ✌️😉
Thanks for watching and commenting 🤜🤛
Nice upgrade Ryan, the instruction said fully extend shaft before screw the cap. When you put compression before screw the cap you have no rebound. I have 2 set of Injora 53mm and already order the 59mm shock :)
I set it up Just the way I like it, if you set it up with rebound it doesn't move as realistic, ends up with a higher center of gravity and ends up leaking out the oil..
And it also has a very bouncy movement when you set the shocks up with rebound.
If I was running my fast RC car I would have rebound on my shocks.
As it's a crawler and all you wanted to do is not allow you to roll over and be bouncy this setup works really well give it a shot you'll see what I mean 👍
Hello,
Nice interesting video!👍Thanks for showing!👍

Awesome Wheels and Shocks, cool Mods!!!
Muito obrigado Antônio, os amortecedores parecem ser de boa qualidade.😊
@@rcfungames Boa!!! Também ando a ver uns amortecedores (de preferencia "drop") para o RGT da Wife mas os Desert🦎 estão um pouco fora do orçamento e os da Injora não tenho encontrado reviews deles!
@@pandacrawler6x6 os amortecedores que eu experimentei de Injora para os 1/10 a qualidade é boa o único problema é que ela é um bocado dura
Who's desert lizard som de boa qualidade mas o preço elevado!
@@rcfungames Pois... mas vamos a ver...
I put on a red set on my bronco today big performance gains was amazed at the difference night and day
Me too I'm very impressed with the quality and performance gains from the Injora shocks.
I've also placed an order for the new 59 mm shocks
Thank you very much for watching and commenting bro 🤜💥🤛
@@rcfungames cool lots of flex with those 59mm for sure
Sweet🤟
Thanks bro 🤜💥🤛

I Really appreciate it, thanks 👍👍👍
So you want the shock pushed all the way in when you tighten the top on to it? I was putting oil in mine but wasn’t positive, I like the way you explained it so I’m gonna try it like that
It all depends on the way you like your truck set up!! I like having a natural realistic look so that when you're filming the vehicle is more realistic.
I have tried many different shock setups but this seems to work the best for what I like.
Give it a shot and let me know what you think?
Hard to explain in words...but I did it the way you said to. My rear end takes less pressure to push down then the front. The rear end will stays about mid way, but the front opens up all the way. And that's with the body not on. What's wrong?
I understand, I had lots of problems with these shocks as the springs they provide are very soft!!
Remove the springs from your original shocks and use them on the Injora shocks, it's definitely the way to go as I tried everything and that was the only thing that worked!
I hope that helps let me know how it goes.
This video is FASCINATING to me. Especially what youre talking about @7:18. Is this neutral pressure created by capping with the shaft all the way in considered external "droop" in rccrawler talk? I think these longer shocks have actually lowered your Defenders ride height? I really want to implement this on my FMS LC80 though. Use a longer shock to retain the stock ride height but gain a few cm in articulation. I appreciate any input or corrections to my wording. I'm still new to RC cars.
Hi bro, I'm glad you find the video fascinating 😊 and I really appreciate your feedback.
Yes depending on how you kept the shock you can have positive pressure, neutral pressure or negative pressure which ones to pull the shaft back in just like a droop setup.
I have always run my crawler like this as I don't like it at all when it's got positive pressure.
I don't like the look and the performance of a lifted rig!
I always like to run my shocks with neutral pressure or negative pressure to have a more realistic suspension movement.
You must play around with the different ways and see what suits you the best 😉
I really appreciate you watching and commenting on the video thank you very much ✌️😉
@@rcfungames I appreciate the thorough response. Exactly what i needed!
Liked the clip! I also have small disputes!
Thanks bro👍 really appreciate you watching and commenting 🤜🤛
Nice video, I was trying to put the Injora bumper hook, but the hole on the bumper seems not to fit the hook. Are you also using the same hook? If so, how do you put them in?
Thanks bro 🤜💥🤛
Indeed it is very tight to get them on you really have to mess about to get them to fit 😅
But with a little bit of effort you will get them on, the bumper plastic is very flexible
do ypu know why my defender body leans to the right when i drive forward and then leans to the left when i go backwards
Yes, it is called torque twist, most RC vehicles with locked Diffs have this problem, this is why the Traxxas trx4 is made portal axles to eliminate this problem.
Why they didn't give portal axles on the mini version I don't know!
For example the rock Van from FMS has portal axles and doesn't suffer with this problem.
People come up with all kinds of ideas to try and eliminate it
They even go as far as making a sway bar for the back axle.
This is why many solid axle rigs run panhard bar, to try and limit the amount of torque twist generated under power!!
I also find it very annoying and I'm trying to sort out this issue.
I promise if I get it sorted I will let you know what I did.
There are now quite a few manufacturers making portal axles for these little Traxxas trx4m
And I think this will probably will be my next step at trying to eliminate the torque twist.

Well, now I need 3 tire flex in my TRX-4M life.
Why not go straight for the new injora shocks 59mm you might even get 4 tire Flex then 😉
@@rcfungames oh man, 4 tire flex is 1 louder. It is something to consider.
is 30wt to strong bc i see everyone is using 15-20
You can give it a try and see how it behaves, but 20wt has been working great for me.
is it normal that my 59mm shocks cant hold the weight and just sit down
I am also having that problem with the 53mm shocks that I fitted, I put the thicker springs, and I had to adjust the spring to almost maximum!!
I'm going to be doing a video fitting the 59 mm shocks in the next few
days.
In that video I will show you how I'm going to set it up to not have this problem any more.
@@rcfungames ty for that quick answer
@@user-tm1kq5my8j you can use a thicker oil, also when you fill the oil up you have multiple ways of setting up the shock! You can set it up with negative pressure, neutral pressure and positive pressure.
I do think the shocks are really good, just could have had a bit of a stronger spring.
I would like to explain to how to set that up like that but it's not so easy to explain on a message.
I will try my best to work on the video as soon as possible so you can see what I mean 👍
And anyway it's a pleasure I always reply and try to do so within a few hours.
You have a good afternoon or good evening depending where you are 🤜💥🤛
@@rcfungames whats the best way of pressure i filled my shocks like injora wants u to do i t
@@user-tm1kq5my8j okay so you should have a bit of positive pressure in the shock, so when it had no spring it would push itself out to fully extended position?
