Those wheels fit realy nice!

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

Thank you! I agree. Just the right size. :)

[@JamesDirtRC]

Inspired me to make a video of how i got my WPL to work with the plastic links and Metal Link axle mount. And the shocks. I totally put my Steering rod, on top and stacked. I need a axle servo mount someday. :)

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

I did that for a C44 build and some RBRC shocks. Got a bunch of slex and travel even with stock plastic parts.

[@SHARP-DPC_LLC]

I appreciate the video. If I could leave you with one bit of advice, try to move the camera farther away and zoom a little if necessary. Your hand is directly infront of what we all are trying to see all to often! Best of luck

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

Anytime I have something I want to focus on for an idea/mod, it's just straight off the hip. I'm pretty low budget, low effort on studio space, so I concentrate all my energy into getting the mod done. I used to do multiple camera angles but decided it's just not my gig. The very few mod videos I do are really just to get the bit of knowledge out to the world and production value is always secondary to me.

[@RCplamodel]

You've Got to be loving this truck. New spots are always fun 🙏😎✝☮

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

It's not bad, in fact i love it but I do wish it were a tad more hobby grade. 4 link suspension would be nice but it's great the way it is.

[@JamesDirtRC]

I like those Shocks. Very Cool build.

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

I had to finished a few other projects and finally focus on this thing.

[@AgeOrmstad]

Realy sweet rig man 👌

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

Thank you, I like this one, too. I do wish it had the ability to be 4-linked but that's okay.

[@maur0p0g0]

Cool video, thanks! What kind of oil did you use for the shocks?

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

Thank you ! Thanks for watching. That's good old 10W 30 in there.

[@richardencomienda6408]

Great vid. Is there any tire rubbing when turning?

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

Very minimal. It's nothing a little trimming with a hobby knife can't fix.

[@RCplamodel]

Nice 😅😅😅😊😊😊

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

Thanks!!!!🖖😎

[@rcgasm]

thanks brother.

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

I'm so glad they made this one a little more hobby grade. Thanks for watching!

[@rcgasm]

@@VermontScaleCustoms youre welcome brother.

[@rockybalboa4586]

can you tell me the oil with what viscosity should be used in shock absorbers for this model?

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

I use 10W in mine. I'm also cheap and lazy and don't buy a big selection. I used what was in the garage :)

[@786esteban]

Nice video. Did you modify the spring's of the shocks? I did buy some injora 53 mm shocks and weren't able to support the truck weight, too soft. Please send the link of the shocks.

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

Thank you! Nope. They came with 2 sets of springs. The soft ones were already installed so I swapped the stiffer coils on. The link to the shocks is in the description. I usually do that so I don't have to share the link for every comment that asks.

[@r.a.wrcfootage5511]

Damn that’s awesome. I kinda want one now. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

You should definitely get one. This mod changed everything about this truck. Just placed the order for a bunch of stuff to add on. I wasn't entirely psyched on it before. Now? Definitely.

[@lemuelluke7375]

have you tried adding orings in rear shocks to reduce axle movement?

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

The objective is to install actual oil filled shocks on the MN82. I don't want to limit any flex, if that's what you mean. The suspension is so much better than how it was stock. Next up, I'll install some oil shocks on the MN111.

[@lemuelluke7375]

@@VermontScaleCustoms i mean it will reduce spring wrap i guess oring in front and the rear of the ball joint like on injora links for fcx24

[@lemuelluke7375]

@@VermontScaleCustoms i guess it won't limit your flex

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

Now I understand what you're suggesting but there isn't room on the factory ball ends to try it. I reused the factory rod ends and axle ball mounts for the lowers. Where the rear of each leaf mounts to the frame, I took 2 o-rings per side and placed them between the screw and the leaf and between the leaf and frame. Acting as a bushing for both sides. A little bit of thread locker on the end of the screw, leave it loose a turn or two, and it allows the back of the spring to move more freely. That really helped the problem more than anything. It helps keep the axle from loading up and then snapping upward. It just moves freely now.

[@jamesdecreto8618]

Did you upgrade it to 370 motor?

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

Yes, it now has a 370 in it on a Hobbywing 1625. i have a 60A ESC ready to go in for more low speed control.

Hello, Interesting nice update!👍 Greetings Seven🖖

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

This is a truck you should get! It's cheap and easy to work on. It's got some cookie cutter mods for it. It's also got a ton of room to add your own personality.🖖😎

[@shawnrichardson118]

Nice video that frame is epic 🤘✌️

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

Thank you! I just painted it black the other day, too. Looks even better flat black with matte clear protecting it.

Nice

What wheels you used?

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

I'm pretty sure I put everything in the description. Thanks for watching.

[@RDEnduro]

This is one of my favorite, the chassis is nice dont paint it black it looks cool not that you said u were lol You said nipple around 2:40 i wasnt ready for it

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

I was looking at the thing all week trying to decide if I wanted to start sanding it. I got lazy and decided to start working on it instead. Now I like it. It has good contrast underneath. Just makes me want to paint the underside of the body so it stands out. You should get one of these. They're cheap and the mods are definitely priced right. Good size, too.

[@e1000je]

Hi, what engine does it have?

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

Just the stock upgrade 370 motor with metal gearbox.

nice mod, for now i have deleted rear shocks on my 82

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

I've kind of been waiting to see if anyone does a proper four link rear end but it seems like leaf springs are going to be it for now. I really like it now so much better.
