Losi Hammer Rey suspension tuning

[@IROC-RC]

Great video. Could you tell me what curved links you used for the rear upper links? Thank you

[@scale6039]

Many thanx for your the info on suspension geometry. It certainly helpt me in understanding & setting up my rock bouncer in a more functional way 👍

[@brucebartlett1950]

Thanks for information just bought one big sale$ 299.00

[@cobblegilll]

So did i

[@demoths]

Same here, can't argue with $200 off!!!

[@billcosby3431]

bought one aswell. hopefully no cat hair

[@mikeyphillips5369]

Hey, where do I get all the rear link and that spacer set up that you came up with? I’m very interested

[@tuckerroberts6951]

ok i’m curious what did you use for spacers up front. ? also can you explain better to what you did to the rear to make it better ?

[@geoffW1997]

Love to see technical information.

[@mikeyphillips5369]

Anyway, you can make a set of those upper rear links

[@Boostedbanter]

awesome video, very good info. im curious, how did you bend the rar 4 link bars in order to mount them at the new location?

[@EpicSwedishFika]

It looks like you are using high clearance links for crawlers? Could you please check the length of them? Cheers

[@jktowman]

I've been trying to source pro line shocks but coming up short unless someone has part numbers?

[@runwithmikerc1047]

WOW!!! Very informative. I learned so much. I love playing with my RC's, crawlers and bashing. But to learn about suspension and geometry set up and how important it can be!!! priceless. Thank you for putting up this video. the same thought process and ideals would work well with like the Axial Bomber, right? and like you said if probably work too with an IFS...Time to tinker with some of my bashers in the garage. Keep up the good work man!!!! Love the video.

I got on during the sale, and it’ll be here today and I can’t wait. What lights are those on the A pillar for the amber pod lights?

[@cobblegilll]

I liked and subscribed and thank you for the knowledge. I took the two original arms and connected them to the arms that you connected your rods that you made And that also corrected the pitch problem.

[@beardedxj]

So the rear upper links you built, does it have to have that bend in it? What is the purpose for the bent link instead of just going straight to the mounting point on the diff?

[@midship909]

make us those rear links please :)

[@LRCR]

Thanks for the Info on the Link Geometry 💯 Now I Get to Have Fun on Both Red and Green Hammer Rey... Was wondering if an offset rod end would work for the front instead of the spacer...and how thick was the spacer? ✌🤠👍 HFLPRCing =Having Fun Laughing Playing and RCing 👍😎👍 AOAH =Association of Addicted Hobbiest 🙏 SSPH =Stay Safe and Play Healthy My Friend 🌟 Blessings from The Great Smoky Mountains Tennessee

[@cameroncraft7136]

Awesome! Thank you for all the knowledge, and including your weight at least in the back. What did you use and how did you bend those rear links?? Thanks!

[@IDEALRC]

I made them , I have a mini bender and die

[@cameroncraft7136]

James Tomlinson would this be something you could show in a video? Or if you have perfected this would you make them for sale? I’m building mine to 6s and will race it with UDRs so I want to get it dialed for the track

[@roor512]

Can I buy a set of the rear links? Or could you tell the the eye length?

[@ioandragulescu6063]

I learned smth interesting, don't know how relevant it is. On full turn, at least as it comes out of the box, on the wheel that's on the inside of the turn, the axle catches in the knuckle arm if the suspension is extended all the way, making said inner wheel almost stoping. Happens on both front wheels. It became even more obvious for me once I installed some ALU upgrades for the knuckles. Also, there are visible markings on the knuckles where they made contact with the axles. For now, I will just limit a bit the steering end points to avoid this.

[@vabefroman929]

James Tomlinson what did u use for the rear links & how long R they? We’re all asking the same question, just waiting for your answer plz. &ty.

[@IDEALRC]

Sorry i don't know off hand , i just made them by feel , I'll check them and get back to you

[@vabefroman929]

Thanks, appreciate it!

[@six50motors]

Would you mind sharing what arms you used to make bends

[@summy4998]

What rear upper links did you use to make yours?

[@six50motors]

Hey awsome video curious tho have you ever ran without the tire in rear and if so does it change driving character

[@CandRpowdercoating]

Where did you get the mini leds for the hood?

[@hotheadedfilmshhf6734]

Did you just use a longer screw at the front of the lower control arms? And how long do those upper links have to be. I really wanna fo that to mine

[@hjrc_jejurcvideo7863]

thanks for the good video 👍🏼

[@parkeryj3135]

Any issues with driveshaft vibrations causing premature wear on the driveshaft? (If you don’t have a double cardon driveshaft this geometry causes oscillations in the speed of the driveshaft)

[@IDEALRC]

if this was a full size rig that would be true but being 10th scale there's a lot of room for error

[@modzilla74]

I was curious how u felt about the super Baja Reys rear suspension. Does it need the same treatment. Have u messed with it at all?

[@IDEALRC]

I’m trying some stuff on my sbr very soon with the rebuild after it’s fire at KOH

[@modzilla74]

@@IDEALRC It burned up?. Not too much I hope. Battery or esc?

[@IDEALRC]

@@modzilla74 battery tray is done ,everything else is ok

[@aaronconrad9501]

Where did you get the Amber Lights?

[@IDEALRC]

There from a lasernut buggy

[@corygoulette2303]

You actually want some some of that in turns

[@johnallen-bx7jp]

What rear upper links are you using?

[@IDEALRC]

I made them

[@johnallen-bx7jp]

Any specifications on the length of link you used and about how many degrees is that link bent?

[@samuelcarrillo6644]

james tomlinson would you please provide this spec detail so that we may modify and fix that issue

[@runwithmikerc1047]

@@IDEALRC awesome job on the links! Jumping on the Lathe now and making some for mine. What length are the links and tie rod ends are using?

[@markbodger4873]

You said that you only get driveshaft changes at the transmission end. The problem with that is that you'll get the diff not changing it's angle inline with the trans and one end of the drive shaft with have severe velocity fluctuations in the rear of the drive shaft causing excessive wear and heat. It will snap. Basic automotive engineering is keeping the differential pinion angle in line with the transmission output shaft angle unless you have constant velocity joints in the drive shaft rather than universal joints. Know what you"re taliking about before you put it to video.
