Axial RR10 Bomber Budget Build - Axial King Shocks - Episode 12

[@DargoDog]

Great series, lots of great information here. I am at the end of my kit build and wondering if there is something better to use on the tops of the king aluminum shock caps other than those larger cheesy rod end balls.

[@thatsportsman570dude5]

I'd put some blue methods with klrs and CI foams! Dream setup lol.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

+The RC Expeditions methods don't fit in the budget easily.

[@joebalot646]

If I am going to go hiking with my car and maybe do a little bit of crawling do I need to focus more on speed or torque when I buy a new servo

[@erazco6568]

What size are the stock shocks that come with the bomber

[@geoota]

I'm about to rebuild my leaky (less than 2 month old) RR10 shocks. I noticed you use a spray bottle with some sort of cleaner. What did you use to clean the parts?

[@alexv8847]

I’m so confused. The heavier the oil wt the better dampening yet you went lower in the rear? What am I misunderstanding here?

[@gaelangarrett7385]

What do you think about them going with a set screw style capturing the upper shocks? And lower links at the chassis side of things?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

+Gaelan Garrett the upper shock side is a pain in the butt. The lower link side works well though and I like the use there.

[@busterbrown1108]

where did you get the new O-rings from ?

[@cadaveca]

How many of the ALU spring retainers are needed? do they come as one set of 4, or a pair, or single? They seem pretty affordable...

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

+Dave Rennie you need 2 packs.

[@cadaveca]

Thanks very much!

[@TubeSurfer26]

Where was the shock shaft when tightening the cap, also should it be overflowing?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

+TubeSurfer the shock shaft was almost fully compressed and the oil at that point was at the brim.

[@tomkirbygreen]

Great video! Thanks! Looking more and more like I'll be moving my Currie F9s and Method hubs over to a Bomber kit. Are any of the Wraith titanium links reusable on a Bomber chassis?

[@thatsportsman570dude5]

The fronts and the rear uppers should be, but the bomber uses trailing arms.

[@tomkirbygreen]

+The RC Expeditions Yeah, the trailing arms thing is a given for sure. Can anyone confirm the other six links would work on a Bomber? What about the steering link and drag rod? I have VP titanium Wraith links (inc steering) that I would love to up-cycle onto a Bomber.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

+Tom Kirby-Green all the front links are reuse able. Then sell the other set of links to someone else with a bomber and you can buy the rear links you need :-)

[@tomkirbygreen]

+Harley Designs OK. I'm sold, looks like I can bring my VP Currie F9s, bead lock hubs and the majority of my links over. Ordering Bomber kit now. It's not readily available in the UK yet - so there's a ~2 week wait.

[@josegandarilla2063]

Hay just want to say thanks for the videos they have been a big help I would like to know if 90 mm king shocks will be ok for my axial rr10 bomber and if so on what side should I mount them on? Yet again thanks for the videos

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

+Jose Gandarilla 90mm shocks would not be appropriate. Also, RC4WD King shocks are not a good choice of shocks. They are for looks only, not performance.

[@josegandarilla2063]

Oh ok what kind of shocks would u recommend

[@samteague419]

What is the part number (or link) for the King aluminum spring retainers?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

It's in the comments.

[@samteague419]

Thanks! I'm kind of new to the KZbin interface, and breezed right past the link.

[@gaelangarrett7385]

Bomber shocks the same as yeti fronts?

[@thatsportsman570dude5]

No. Yeti fronts are way shorter.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

+Gaelan Garrett I don't recall the lengths, I'd have to confirm with the manual.

[@MaximumRC_]

Does anyone know where to get aluminum flanged balls for the shock cap on these King Shocks?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I use the Vanquish Brass balls and chuck them up in my drill. I use a file to turn them down to the proper diameter. Then use some emery cloth to polish them.

[@2cwik4u104]

great vid Harley. awesome upgrades.

[@michaelzimmerman1361]

Lol. I run 80w in the back and 60w in the front

[@rcmike09]

Crawl-a-plooza!!!

[@pennywisegaming9136]

Axialfest is in a week. Not in a couple of weeks

+Theprogamer1230 studios I'm aware. I didn't film the video yesterday, just go uploaded a few days late.
