Fms Fcx24 stock shock mod! How to install orings and oil!

[@rc-dom-uk]

thanks for sharing 👍

[@bighextacy]

Thanks for the detailed tutorial! This is the only video I've come across that shows the hex head on the shaft. The others say to either by the tool or risk scratching the shaft with needle nose pliers and tissue

@@bighextacy you got it glad to help!

Another free mod ive discovered today is go to lowes, go to the hardware section, find a 5/16" x 1 1/2" compression spring, then replace factory shocks with small springs

[@RippSnortin]

It seems to me that it's mostly the friction between shaft and o ring that is causing the dampening. The oil is just to lube the o ring so it doesn't wear.

[@SAYEDTAYYAB_]

thanks for this video its helps a lot

[@OntariosWorstRCDriver]

Just had to explain to my wife I was watching RC videos when she heard the part about the shaft going in without wrecking the o-ring 🤦🏻

[@waybetteryouaustralia3934]

Thanks for this very helpful video .... i just bought an FMS FCX24 Power Wagon and Knew i would have to put some oil in my shocks almost straight away ....soooooo ..... here i go :))))) I'm interested to know what Mods and Upgrades you have done to yours and what would you recommend ? I have ordered the RCAWD 35mm Extended Rear Link Kit with Driveshaft included and Wheels and tyres ..... not sure if i will go 1.0" wheels or 1.3" .... factory plastic rims seem to be around 1.3" - 1.5" .... Ahhhh it will be Fun discovering and working with All these elements :)))) Love what you do buddy !!

[@Backyard_KLX]

@@waybetteryouaustralia3934 thanks, I’m glad it helped I would stay at 1.0 wheels and get some rc4wd tires or even Injora branded ones, same for wheels you can’t go wrong with either.

[@waybetteryouaustralia3934]

@@Backyard_KLX Ahhh ...Coolness ... Cheers for that :)) funny you should say that lol ......I have ordered some Injora HXH Pin Tyres (they look Great in the Review Videos i have watched ...Super Sticky Rock Crawling Tyres) new wheels , brass portal axle covers and brass rings too....these Mods will improve performance and grip on my FCX24 Power Wagon Build ... Keep On Rockin the RC World my friend !! All the Best to ya :)))))

[@Cordova10-8]

Thanks for the tutorial! Think Traxxas 40w oil will be ok to use?

[@Backyard_KLX]

No problem, I can’t confirm that about that specific oil.

[@greschannel4002]

Berapa mm ukuran seal O ring bawa'an fcx24? Dan berapa CST oil shock yg pas untuk discovery 1)24?

[@Backyard_KLX]

I don’t understand.

[@greschannel4002]

What is the size of the FCX24 O ring seal? And what CST oil shock is right for discovery 1)24?

[@24scalerc]

can I essentially do this with telescopic shocks too??

[@Backyard_KLX]

Yea you can, if they don’t have o rings they will eventually leak, just check the periodically.

[@DrewDoesRcEveryDay]

Just did my first shock and it’s not rebounding, so I need to let it sit for a while?

[@Backyard_KLX]

@@DrewDoesRcEveryDay I’d check the shock again, I had no issues, are they oil filled shocks?

[@DrewDoesRcEveryDay]

@@Backyard_KLX I’m oil filling the stock shocks and they rebound halfway but not fully

[@DrewDoesRcEveryDay]

@@Backyard_KLX same k5 shocks you oil filled

[@waybetteryouaustralia3934]

@@DrewDoesRcEveryDay Check Oil Level in shock ...it sounds like a Vapour Lock situation ... Remedy = Less Oil and Check for Air Bubbles ...Ultimately we want No Air in there ...Just Oil ... Hope that Helps You

[@gkrismaeagon2361]

How did you remove em from the screws? Just pop it off?

[@Backyard_KLX]

Yes, just carefully. I didn’t even think to show that, mybad.

[@normhienn1881]

Wrong.. 1 o-ring goes on the shaft, the other little o-ring goes under the cap you took off, that’s what holds the oil in the shock..🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Backyard_KLX]

I guess you’re right and that will also work, I can say, these are done on 2 sets of Fms Fcx24 shocks and have still held the same amount of oil since I installed them.. better than Hotracing, Powerhobby, and RcAwd. Thanks for your input.

Both should go inside the bladder not on the outside of it
