Man I wish you had finished this series

[@scalebuildersguild]

I knew when it came out that it would bring smiles to people's faces. Awesome stuff.

[@marcochavanne]

Air ride on an RC...What a time to be alive. It would be cool if you could squat the front suspension on climbs and make it up lines you couldn't before.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I haven't actually driven it yet but it is definitely a crazy and fun option!

[@julianorozco761]

Da mucho mas realismo al camion , saludos Amigo

[@nrvous309]

That's incredible!!

[@scottclark3153]

Speaking of gimmicks, would you ever consider building a truck with remote lockable axles, with a 2 and 4 wheel drive shiftable transfer case? Love the super scale stuff. Yes they are fail areas where parts like to break but that adds to the realism.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Breaks are annoying and the little servos are always prone to it. The selectable lockers just aren’t worth it to me. Selectable t-case in that format is just not something I’d be after just because I usually just keep trying to do challenging lines and I’d always just be flipping into 4wd. That stuff just isn’t for me.

[@ratlme]

Crazy cool build. Can not wait to see what you do next to the Bronco. Giving me ideas on how to change out my Defender.

[@powcar91]

Now I want to see the bronco crawl, then rise up. When you get stuck on the rocks.

[@RevolutionX]

Time to get a VW r/c kit and stick the air ride on it. Maybe run some stretch on the tires, get a "stanced" sticker printed! LOL

[@regno78]

If you are gonna make a street truck, lock only rear diff or don't remove diff servos at all. Then it's gonna make donats with out tipping over.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Not building a street truck, just something that looks more streetable in an off road format. Like a truck you’d see driving around but still gets wheeled.

[@spidubic68]

OMG! Want so bad! Love the idea of lowering the truck a bit for a more stock appearance then a nice lift when air added. Right now the lifted mode looks a little too tall. Looking forward to next episodes.

[@smOOdiebOOdie]

How awesome is this?! 😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Legoman585]

The Air ride seams to works really well . I think slamming it for driving to the trail the Air up when you get there is a great idea

[@Legoman585]

Bronco goes up, Bronco goes down. Bronco goes up, Bronco goes down

[@caljader3388]

Looks fun!🤓👍

[@danphillips3297]

Makes me want one for my Bronco😎 Great video dude!

[@dirtberger4533]

Ya that's pretty cool, I could see finding a reason to put that on a project

[@bjmcfarland1]

that is a great looking truck: color is great and with the air shocks wow. Great job great video

[@NateB240z]

I run two 2000mah Venom 2s lipos in parallel in the front battery tray. That color is perfect 👌

[@zach5154]

Nate B. So you run 4s in it

[@NateB240z]

@@zach5154 No... In parallel it would be the same as a 4000mah 2s. Running them in series would make it a 2000mah 4s.

[@zach5154]

Nate B. Oh ok gotcha

[@hedgemeist]

That's cool, you should add some cruising neon, especially if you get slammed down more. 🙂

[@Blacksheeprc2024]

The venom fly series fits perfect

[@nunodias3331]

thats looks great, imagine going to crawl with that, you can change the center of gravity

[@jackschwisow1363]

Just a suggestion from personal experience I have a trx4 defender and with the defender body you use different shock towers so then you can buy aftermarket towers with a bunch of mounting positions and that would enable you to have different height adjustments and not have to fabricate them yourself I hope that helps but it might not make any sense😂😂

[@offylibertylover4868]

I run a ProTek Si-Graphene 3600mAh 3S in the front tray of my TRX4.

[@210quattro]

I run a gens ace hard case 2s Lipo 4600MAH 60c 2S2P Fits perfect

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I only run 3 or 4s so I’ll have to find a specific pack.

[@andyrichey1192]

That is sweet can't wait to see how they perform on the trail

[@Anarchy421]

Where's the rest of this series?!! I need to see the final product!! This thing is amazing

[@policeswat64]

You hitting the switches homie ?

[@robertmalsack2188]

Air ride ? A full-size “store bought” rig ? Heck, I even saw you winching (again!!) out at the lake - by the way, the Willys looked great out there ! It’s nice to see you still having fun doing something unexpected. Keep it up :)

[@jahmenrcbuildingasone4254]

Intresting,but are we learning towards hooptie rides but your right big FUN right there.😁

[@YETIbear6.0]

Cool bronco body i like the blue and white👌

[@gigawattrc]

Great......now I want one 🙄 thanks Josh, haha

[@insanemadmanroom2299]

nice trx 4 i like the paint job now you need to start bumping the 20s rimes with spinners and a boom system rock some snoop dog

[@drjavogel]

Okay. That's just fun.

[@rodcognito002]

They See Me Rolling They Hatting.

[@chrisallred3501]

You should do a run video so we can see what it can do in stock position. Then do your mods. Like a before and after.

[@operation11charlieinc]

Wow awesome

[@tyshiz3381]

Is it bau or bo? Bowhouse.... anywho lol that airride is siiiiiick

[@ka4172]

possibel to make 4 shocks independant work from each other to lift only front ,rear ,side or get more flex?

[@derrickwilliams2903]

Cool project! Did you open the box? How much wasted space is there? Would there be any benefit to splitting up that big, chunky box into a couple of smaller boxes for greater placement flexibility?

[@LuisLPRCs]

That's a cool upgrade! Now make the truck bounce Ha Ha Ha! 👍👍👍

[@AmrothPalantir]

that some cool shit

[@Gordimbarber062]

Tem algum vídeo mostrando como você fez? E podia colocar os nomes dos produtos usados na suspensão, Eu não falo inglês para intender, Me desculpe por isto

[@teajuice5407]

Cool

[@brandonragsdale6219]

Wooooow coolest thing ever

[@robhall845]

I've ran protek 3800's up front

[@MikelangeloPhoto]

That is pretty neat!!

[@josbarhorst6574]

Want to go low... ditch the portals?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I’m not trying to lay it out, just make it low when aired down and up to have the capability still.

[@stinky3shoes491]

Cool !

[@judgehastheword9069]

On the air shocks can you run them half way up ? An can you post a link I can bought is air shocks system. It is Awesome !

[@MartinPeterWhitney]

That looks soooo cool!!!!

[@Video_Lounge]

Where can I purchase this awesome product?

[@rachelroybal8538]

Do the ssd portal delete

[@brettskinner5824]

No dont go lower Go HIGHER!!!

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I like low COG, portals are bad enough as is.

[@brettskinner5824]

@@HarleyDesignsInc we also need more mud truck!!

[@wottley]

Where can you get one of these systems

[@426cylinders7]

Epic stuff

[@BLACKBOX1004]

very nice Color😍😍😍

[@KaotikRC]

Cool rig, but just a tip for the future; you should never touch those type of batteries with your fingers. The oils in your skin will either drastically shorten battery life, or kill the battery altogether. Use a butterknife or some clean tweezers/pliers.

[@epeterson2448]

That’s awesome. No problems towing your trailer or boat now😂👍

[@jimmccabe801]

Does it affect articulation?

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

*NO FLEX FRIDAYS?????* 😱😱😅😛

[@Nickwillfixit]

Nice look, how good are the shocks, are they comparable to stock or like the Capo kit a bit to bouncy.

[@peterv1602]

Can your truck tilt left and right?

[@peterv1602]

Shall I ask in this way: is it possible to modify it to a 4-channel system?

[@crawlhardrc3508]

that's an awesome must have upgrade

[@peytonmccosco5712]

We’re did u get it

[@kingteacupsandbulls6062]

Do u do custom work 4 people

[@sethsrcgarage4300]

Would one be bad for crawling?

[@ianprice2441]

Sweet!!!

[@philg6757]

I can see that on an Chevy Impala,way cool.

[@sunaru1977]

gotta grand national drift rc i know it'll look dopeeeeee on...

[@chadgalloway6645]

Will that work with the long arm lift kit

[@Sniper-RC-Italy]

But is the Bronco now rigid? How can suspensions work?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

The amount of air pressure determines the effective spring rate, this is common practice.

[@flubber8396]

Put the air ride on a vaterra v100 ford F100. So so sweet that would be. Then tuck the tires. If I only had a 3d printer.

[@Skeleus]

How well does it flex though?

[@eliasgranados2571]

Bad ass fkn Bronco!!!

[@kylepylees16]

AIR RIDE FOR RC’S ?

[@braddahdussifyoumuss596]

Sooooo sick dude!!! A air ride crawler 🤧🤮🤢sick

[@jburke187]

Taco mini truck in the future?

[@skirmich]

Can you raise the car precisely or its just 2 positions?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

However long you hold the button is how long the compressor runs, so you could put it to any level.

[@skirmich]

​@@HarleyDesignsInc Thanks! that is indeed an awesome feature... How does the dampening feels though? I didnt saw you push it down to see how it behaves. I noticed in the product page they also come with optional heavy springs?

Making a legit air suspension from scratch like this would probably end up costing you more just in trial and error parts ordering. 😁 definitely not something everyone needs but it’s a ton of fun.

[@greeneyedchul0]

Suck the company that made that went out of business

[@crawlhardrc3508]

definitely go lower. afterall, you can always come back up
