[@ninjasupreme5966]

Love these rc fixing videos, this is what i do. Get stuff cheap used and rebuild em. I really enjoy working on rc's!

[@huntersrc9865]

These videos are so needed. Was contemplating finally getting mine done I got the rebuild kit a while ago. First time rebuilding xmaxx shocks for me.

[@rmarkley79]

Great series, already looking forward to the next part, thanks Mark!

[@jeffjones3536]

Great job can't wait to see the finished product.👍👍

[@bigtrev71]

Loving this rebuild. I got a 6s XMaxx to. Watching and learning...Thanks Mark

[@johnmiller4553]

LOVING THESE LIL REBUILD SERIES VIDS..🤙. GREAT INFO AND FUN TO WATCH 🤙. SUPER SMASHED!!!!!!!!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@JamesBond-hz2tn]

Looking forward to the finish product Great video 👍

[@fishnrc294]

Thank you I think most RC channels don’t even touch on buying used RC’s let alone refurbishing them I think it’s awesome. Going to the RC swapmeet & getting RC’s to refurbished could be a full time channel alone. It’s nice to see though some can’t afford new RC’s so this is great content. Definitely more of this would be good.

[@slowmaro87]

❤ this series maannn thank you for keeping my brain in rc world

[@Storyracing387]

Awesome sauce!!!! I'm seeing the Mark I saw when I first started getting into this fantastic hobby! Love bro keep it up!!!

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Cool video nice rebuild

[@DarinDerb]

Hey Mark if you want to take your bearing cleaning to the next level use brake cleaner in an ultrasonic. I put the bearings in a pill bottle with the cleaner for 2 minutes and then a quick spray cleans them better than new. Grease for outdoor and oil for for indoors. AVID products all the way.

[@johngantner9314]

Cool Video

[@Joenil58]

Hi Mark, it's great to join your show. Keep up.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Budget is always good can't go wrong enjoy the week bro

[@craetz4]

Tip ,use light in video recording!

[@Joenil58]

Hi Mark. We here in Australia love your show. I wish to own a rtr car. But can't effort one.

[@IMCLEVEAGE]

Those protek pliers are worth their weight in gold.

[@jimcurt99]

The shock doesn't bind, but you KILLED the tolerance they set at the factory... You're better at this than I am, but seems like a bad idea....

[@abemack]

totally agree

[@myharryface]

Mark ... I would like to see you use ear protection when using loud devices like your blower and vacuums. I have a box of concert style (foam in ear) ear plugs that I use when I'm doing something very prolonged like vacuuming the garage and hobby desk (or car) after doing RC repairs. But if it's just a quick blast or so I have a pair of over the head (they look like music earphones) that I can put on quickly. The drawback to the over the head ones is that for long usage your face sweats and that just kinda sucks ... hence the in ear one for long loud sessions.

[@paulwall903ify]

I bought a 6s xmaxx and converted it to a 8s. Should have probably bought a 8s to begin with would have cost less but it was fun putting together. Put a 800kv motor and a max5 esc it moves.

[@endosrc]

what do u like more, protek shock tool or tekno shock tool

[@mackali7678]

Mark , I bought another XMaxx just to keep around cause I think it's one of the greatest RC as far as RC's go. I'm just concerned if it's ok to keep sitting in the box with the zap straps holding the suspension down? Thanks Mark for your knowledgeable videos!

[@fishnrc294]

In the plumbing world there’s a specific tool to remove o rings I’m wondering if it would be better then a sharp exacto knife.

[@DigiDarkness]

When you press down on the shock, is some oil supposed to come out and lightly coat the strut/rod?

[@Ka0zx77]

On these rebuilds do you guys replace the plastic stuff that’s scratched up a lot.

[@williamfrock1490]

What did u use for the center diff weight

[@Dysl3xicDog]

I switched to Royal Purple Ultra Performance grease for basher axle bearings. It keeps the dust out and they stay lubricated much longer than an oil.

[@0424716037]

I do the same much better.

[@georgepapamichail1006]

How come you didn't use break cleaner for the ball bearings ?

[@zoegreendogtraining]

When are you going to your next live stream and what is your preference on the 4tec Toyota supra

[@thomasmckinley1172]

I know this isn’t pertaining to the current subject matter, but have you had any experience with the pinion gear on an E Revo? I can’t seem to be able to tighten it properly so that it won’t come loose. I’m using the blue lock tite and it still doesn’t work.

[@meticulous_rc]

Which rc box club box comes with tools and parts? I want to join but want to make sure I get the right box to receive just parts and tools. Thanks!!

[@Ronnaferd]

The one box I got already had 2 tools in it. Hoping for more of the gold 🪙 in the next box!

[@DLAdventures2]

shirt looks great, but would not wear one to the track!

[@KingLoggFrogg]

No safety glasses when spraying air into the acetone filled bearings? Eep lol

[@craigjones2015]

Or the shock body has a dent in it

[@toolbaggers]

0 o

[@Ronnaferd]

That's what I thought too

[@woodnbikes]

If the exploded view could cook, I'd marry it 😳😂

[@toolbaggers]

Moo Slick - illegal in California.

[@rmarkley79]

What about the ultra light, it doesn't have PTFE, if that's the issue CA has. Just a thought.

[@ryanrodriguez70]

Try SC1 new dirt bike in a van. It’s amazing stuff and smells really good

[@jeffbryner5355]

If you use Traxxas parts tp Repair that xmaxx its.not a budget rebuild 😂😂 they make you grab your ankles!
