Cheers. Much appreciated. 🙏🏽👊🏾

[@TheShopMiniRC]

No problem 👍 Thank you for watching

[@sgtaaronp]

That looks super bad ass! I need that body!

[@TheShopMiniRC]

It gets sooo many compliments. Someone tried to buy it off me at proline by the fire. Lol

[@sgtaaronp]

@@TheShopMiniRC lol that's awesome!

[@HarbertRacing]

Thank you so much! I was trying to see how to get the pivot pin out after ripping my front swing arm completely off!

[@TheShopMiniRC]

Glad I could help!

[@namespolicy7747]

the heck why is it so cute

[@TheShopMiniRC]

Hahaha. Is it cute?!?

[@FlailinMonkey]

Looking at the video at the 28:42 mark where you have the front right side aluminum arm installed compared to the front left plastic arm, it looks like the aluminum arm has a sharper angle to it. Maybe that is where your extra ride height is coming from?

[@TheShopMiniRC]

Yeah, we think so too. Not sure if we like that or not. I think we have the shocks mounted to be as low as possible without having to shorten the springs.

[@TruSwagTv2]

dope

[@TheShopMiniRC]

It’s a blast.

[@TruSwagTv2]

@@TheShopMiniRC i know that’s right

[@adamh9077]

Only issue I saw was no thread locker on the grub screws that hold that pivot pin in place. Also your shock should be properly oiled to rebound without a spring. 💯❤️ Your content

[@TheShopMiniRC]

Good tips. Thanks a ton!!!

[@michaeljohnson254]

so metal a arms aint an issue lollll

[@Shreddylife]

Nice video on showing all the RCAWD upgrades. How have the Shocks held up? I have read some pretty bad reviews on them.

[@TheShopMiniRC]

We haven’t run them tooooo hard but they seem fine so far. Just stiff.

[@rcawd]

💯

[@TheShopMiniRC]

Indeed 🔥

[@skyhawk21]

I’ve noticed a lot of play in mini t 2 rear and front axles with stock losi bearings and other brands, doesn’t spin true and straight because of sloppy bearings and movement inside of bearing not fitting snug

[@TheShopMiniRC]

good tip. So we need to upgrade all the bearings to some high quality ones

[@arisscalemodeling350]

How did you mount the body on the front?

[@TheShopMiniRC]

literally just tuck the cage around the shock tower. I think I show it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6naZpqqqMpofLcsi=RH918OJ4SImgqPso Right around the 11 min mark

[@paulclancy2404]

Nice parts , I have order some parts I burnt out the dynamite 6500 kv I think I got it wet bc I have another that's lasting very long time the bearings will go bad soon . Hinge pins I call em

[@TheShopMiniRC]

Hinge pins! Thank you! lol. Our dynamite is running strong.

[@joeyumland6809]

If you move the lower shock mount in the front inwards it will go lower.

[@TheShopMiniRC]

It should be all the way set inward.

[@driftcraze2138]

​@@TheShopMiniRC the wing arm in the front and the rear are so you able to run a longest shot with a lower ride height

[@arqhies_youtube]

I’m wondering where you got the body from

[@TheShopMiniRC]

Walmart.

[@arqhies_youtube]

@@TheShopMiniRC I just got it and I’m wondering if you could tell me how to get the body off the cheep car

[@TheShopMiniRC]

@@arqhies_youtube it’s just a few screws on the bottom of the car.

[@arqhies_youtube]

@@TheShopMiniRC I keep trying and the screw driver needs to bend to get it out

[@TheShopMiniRC]

@@arqhies_youtube the screws are in the top of the rc. The body interior. It was super simple to get out from what I remember.

[@williamscott3706]

Did you make the body or buy it?

[@TheShopMiniRC]

Both? kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGXZoKWMlrqkiKssi=GuUIPI8DhjKjdJ-U

[@lukemarsh3937]

Love the videos, do you think the rcawd arms are better than the gpm ones due to the sharper angle , or does it raise the ride height up too much?

[@TheShopMiniRC]

Hard to say. I think it’s going to depend a bit on your driving style and the type of surface. The RCawd do raise it quite a bit though.

[@NatesRCclips]

I cant find the A arms on the rcawd site😢

[@TheShopMiniRC]

hmmm i wonder if they discontinued them. :(

[@NatesRCclips]

@@TheShopMiniRC thank you

[@FilthUD]

Omfg!! I was LITERALLY looking to upgrade the servo on the Lodi Mini B I just got. I use an 55KG Waterproof servo from them on my K6 and fking love it. Was JUST looking at that little servo, wondering if it’d work. Does it mount up well and all that?

[@TheShopMiniRC]

yep! works fine!

[@michaeltrzaska5880]

So cool....what body is that?

[@TheShopMiniRC]

Link is in the description and I think there is a video card in the video that links to another video showing the body specifically.

[@zacbrewser]

did you get these shocks worked out and if so how did you do so

[@TheShopMiniRC]

We just installed the rears today and are running tomorrow. Will have a video this weekend probably.

[@zacbrewser]

@@TheShopMiniRC im having trouble finding the right oil level and they also feel quite sticky on impact but then travel smooth after that, lmk what you think

[@eddieroberts7368]

Is the mini b 3s capable?

[@TheShopMiniRC]

Stock no, but you can easily run it 3s with an upgraded esc/motor from furitek.

[@bluddywulf6796]

What's the roll cage from?

[@TheShopMiniRC]

Link should be in the desc. Adventure force metal racer.

[@linhof4]

where did you get that body

[@TheShopMiniRC]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2KVenudnNF1bqc

[@TheShopMiniRC]

And here is the first video on it with the mini b. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGXZoKWMlrqkiKs

[@jhacker5150]

RCAWD … in your opinion how do the parts you received compare to GPM and/or Hot Racing & Losi Aluminum shocks? I tried refilling the Losi aluminum shock and don’t enjoy it - looking for a top fill style.

[@TheShopMiniRC]

The Losi Aluminums seem the best, but are also a Pain in the butt! I think these RCAWD are better than the GPM. Not sure on the Hot racing though.

[@bluddywulf6796]

Hot racing ones are nice the springs are a lil firm tho. If racing it your gona want a spring set.

[@shawnengelman5029]

What servo is that

[@TheShopMiniRC]

Afgrc acls20 ;)

[@Zootaan21]

Smack louder I could almost hear you talk

[@TheShopMiniRC]

What? Huh?

[@austinlogan7495]

There is so much wrong with this video

[@TheShopMiniRC]

Like what? You don’t like to tinker and do upgrades? You don’t like to experiment? You don’t like building something different?
