Pro-Line PowerStroke XT - Axial Yeti Rear Shocks!

[@rodlilly8969]

I should own stock I own so many problems line products. LOL. Can't wait to get my hands on a set of these. I got set on my slash. Made such a dramatic change in handling. Good stuff.

[@TheRCNetwork]

+Rod Lilly They will be a HUGE improvement!

[@2cwik4u104]

i always have been a big fan of the powerstrokes.

[@TheRCNetwork]

+2cwik4u104 Yep, Solid shocks!

[@SHAYEN-cd5qw]

Pro-Line you can't go wrong I am a Huge Pro-Line fan

[@TheRCNetwork]

+Shayen RC Enthusiast. yep....Pro-Line has it covered!

[@gravediggerrc]

YO U KNOW YOU STUFF THERE I AM NEW AT THE HOBBY SO AM LEARN A LOT I LOVE THIS HOBBY SO MUCH TO KNOW

[@theibault]

Your Yeti is looking awesome! Nice shocks too.

[@TheRCNetwork]

+Theibault Thanks T! I'm changing it up a bit as well....

[@a1bdfgb]

Informative video, I'm fitting these to the rear of my axial bomber

[@garylowe8601]

Cracking good looking shocks. hope they turn out good. Merry Christmas to you Rich an to your family.

[@TheRCNetwork]

+Gary Lowe Thanks Gary! I hope your holidays were great!

[@PatrikGelis]

Hey man, i don't own a yeti and i think if i'd buy a ifr and solid rear truck i'd go with the score (i just love trophy trucks). And you sir built this truck just the way i would!! I got the short course powerstrokes in my slash 4x4 lcg and theyre workin great. So i think yours will be awesome too! And again, thats some awesome setup u got there!!

[@TheRCNetwork]

+Patrik Gelis Thanks Patrik!

[@xfalcon12345]

No problems fitting your shock bushing into the vanquish trailing arms? I had to sand it down🤔

[@Evolution8R]

Those are really sweet, I need to get some.

[@TheRCNetwork]

+Evolution8R Yep, they make a huge improvement

[@mikebromelow8514]

How are the shocks working out for you now? I have some on the way and can't wait to bolt them on! I have a customized Yeti Score trophy truck and did some modifications to allow the front A-arms to droop more and I made a custom front shock mount so I can use my stock rear shocks on the front now! :)

[@TheRCNetwork]

Nice! I did the same for the front of my Yeti, now running Powerstroke tears on the front. The rear XT shock is great - the only issue so far has been the length of the spring is so long that it rubs on the shock body. Not a big deal, since these are WAY better than anything stock axial

[@jamanepitcher8522]

Will these shocks also work on the 1/10 scale rock rey

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yep, in the rear. you'll need the Slash rears for the front of the Rock Rey

[@jamanepitcher8522]

@@TheRCNetwork thanks for the info I was looking for a worthy replacement for the stock losi shocks.

[@slkric1724]

How did you mount the top of the rear shocks? The bushings for the old Axial shocks are to big to fit in these proline shocks....

[@sherwinricafrente2036]

[@noeysfastrc3291]

Nice shocks from proline

[@TheRCNetwork]

+Noeys fastrc Yep, solid shocks....should have running footage soon!

[@dp7224]

Did you have to use any spacers with the pivot balls on the upper shock?

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yep, I found them on the parts trees from Axial though

[@abasta4]

did you have to shave the rear vanquish arms to fit the power strokes?

[@TheRCNetwork]

I didn't , but may have switched the pivot ball out.....hard to remember this one 😬

[@roynelson7613]

another awesome video rich I have the Thunder Tiger E MTA and it has the lay down shocks they come out with a Thunder Tiger E MTA G2 and it's pretty much the same truck but it has up and down shocks 8 of them I'm thinking about converting that I'm not sure decisions decisions always good to see your videos which I hope 2016 is good bro it looks like you're getting off to a really good start have a good one man

[@TheRCNetwork]

+Roy Nelson Thanks Roy! Take a look at the dimensions and see if they'll work

[@roynelson7613]

Yeah the A arms are the same as the other truck maybe you can look up Thunder Tiger E MTA with the lay down shocks and then the Thunder Tiger E MTA g2 aussie from Australia has both of these trucks I still got a lot to learn but everything is pretty much the same on both trucks except the shocks and I want to say thank you rich for getting back with me I think you are awesome bro

[@myrctribe6309]

If PowerStroke's work as good as they look, I need to get them for my EXO Terra.

[@humblerc841]

yes you do.

[@TheRCNetwork]

+My RC Tribe This is a VERY old video (Sorry for the terrible quality) but my version of Powerstrokes on an Exo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKvdap94mp2Ybrs

[@myrctribe6309]

It's a good video. Thanks!

[@Hofology]

I know this is an old video but curious why you left the front shocks stock. Do u know if the front needs a specialized length/size?

[@TheRCNetwork]

Pro-Line Powerstroke on the fronts - Slash Rears work well

[@Hofology]

The RCNetwork appreciate the response. I’m looking for a new project & love watching your build videos. It’s between a yeti score or Tekno DB48!

[@TheRCNetwork]

I'm of course partial to the DB48 - it's just so durable and drives great!

[@chaplinnone1274]

Hey rich, question. I want to replace the stock shocks on my bomber. I want to use proline shocks. Do you know what would work? P S. I really don’t want to use blue. Thanks for any information you might have.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Chandler Johnson a direct replacement would be the Powerstroke Slash Rears on all four corners. That’s what I ran at one point.....but I never got the ride height correct for it.

[@chaplinnone1274]

The RCNetwork thank you for the amazing quick reply! Proline 6063-1’s on the way!

[@gravediggerrc]

I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU BUT THE METAL EYELET WILL NOT GO IN TO THE AXIAL LINK MOUNT WOULD HAPPEN TO KNOW THING ABOUT THAT

[@TheRCNetwork]

DJ REED you can exchange pivot balls with the stock shocks or simply file the Pro-alone versions down. The XT shocks were meant for the Axial Yeti is why this is happening.

[@yamahschector]

Is that the carbon fiber x support? If so I can not get mine to fit

[@TheRCNetwork]

I had to tweak mine a bit for it to work, if I remember

[@gmummy]

Finally! Thanks as always!

[@TheRCNetwork]

+GMUMMY Anytime!

[@paulredding3607]

Will these fit the yeti xl as a good model shop here in the U.K. Is saying it will.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Nope...XL shocks are somewhat unique and not that bad as a stock shock - check out the HR upgrade kit for them (non-piggyback) - it's a great compromise

[@gravediggerrc]

hello how do use the protek rc premier blue on pro line power stroke xt shocks ?

[@TheRCNetwork]

O ring grease goes inside the cartridge of the shock where the o-rings/X-rings are. Once you remove the spring perch and spring, remove the bottom eyelet and then the bottom cap - apply a generous amount of green slime inside the cartridge

[@cjwiggins1745]

Do you use 40wt for the front shocks

[@gravediggerrc]

hello there i would like to put this shocks pro630822 on the power stroke xt shocks will it work i would like to get more rebound what of wt oil are you using ?????

[@TheRCNetwork]

The model number you referenced is for the ProSpec line of shocks, which are a larger diameter shock body. They will not fit the PowerStroke XT shocks or any PowerStroke. PowerStroke shocks are a smaller diameter vs ProSpec.

[@Sloppyjoe96]

what would happen if you put these on a regular 1/10 scale sct

[@TheRCNetwork]

Major issues. They're too long

[@JoeyRock333]

What shocks did you put in the front?

[@TheRCNetwork]

The Pro-Line Powerstroke (for Slash Rear)

[@mitemluh]

when is Proline going to make those for the yeti xl?

[@TheRCNetwork]

+Mit Emluh I don't think they will. There's just not too many XL's out there to warrant a line of shocks

[@matthewhoffer3703]

+The RCNetwork now it is 2016 is there one for yeti xl?

[@JoshuaRodriguez-ju7yy]

What oil weight do you recommend for a stock yeti?

[@TheRCNetwork]

For the rears, I was running 20wt

[@gravediggerrc]

I THANK YOU SO MUCH I GOT IT JUST LIKE YOU SAID IT WOULD BE

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks for watching!

[@gravediggerrc]

HOW DO REMO VE PIVOT BALLS ON THE STOCKS SHOCKS TO PUT ON PROLINE XT SHOCKS THE PIVOT BALL WILL NOT COME OFF PRO LINE SHOCKS

[@TheRCNetwork]

DJ REED it simply pushes out. It will need a bit of force to release it. Then to reinstall, just use needle nose pliers. BTW, is your caps lock broke?? 😬

[@sandhiwijaya6479]

Can i put on kyosho truggy 1:8 scale???

[@TheRCNetwork]

Way too small of a diameter

[@JCRC]

What's you opinion for this on the back of a Wraith with a droop kit?

[@TheRCNetwork]

+Joe Conti It will be a bit long, but possible.

[@JCRC]

The RCNetwork I'm running the 110mm Kings - Those are 3/4 inch longer!!

[@TheRCNetwork]

+Joe Conti If you dis-assemble a shock end, do you have additional flex to make the XT's work? You'll notice a huge dampening advantage on the Pro-Line's

[@JCRC]

The RCNetwork i am using 110mm on BlueMonkey lower arms .. the ones where the shock mounts on the arm rather than on the shock mounting point on the axle, just like the Yeti is. With the 110mm + droop kit I have I have plenty of travel, I like my Wraith low to the ground. If need be I'll use a bit more power to "slide" over something rather than roll over from the extra height. I was thinking os some more travel with the longer shocks :)

[@matthewhoffer3703]

are this able go on 1/8 yeti xl or just yeti 1/10

[@TheRCNetwork]

+Matthew Hoffer The XL is more like 1/6th scale.....and the shocks on the XL are almost the diameter of a roll of quarters....so, not a chance for these to work on the XL

[@lornehutton7229]

ANYTHING FOR THE 8TH SCALE YETI XL ?

[@TheRCNetwork]

+Lorne Hutton Not from Pro-Line....I doubt they'll make them as the amount of XL owners are limited. Hot Racing has an Aluminum kit for them here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWPOZ6iomqyAb7s

[@motox4124]

Would these work on a Traxxas Slash 2wd?

[@TheRCNetwork]

YZ Master they’re too long. You need just the standard Slash shocks, F/r from Pro-Line

[@motox4124]

What if I had extended a arms? I would only put these on the rear.

[@MrDriveAndFlyRC]

What rims are those?

[@TheRCNetwork]

+DriveFlyRc They're the Vanquish Method 101 rims

[@humblerc841]

'bout time!

[@TheRCNetwork]

+humble rc I know, huh! It's nice to have a totally solid Yeti!

[@lacucaracha111111]

6:10 thats what she said xD

[@TheRCNetwork]

+lacucaracha111111 lol!

[@ceff01]

make sense i dont get it

[@gravediggerrc]

KNOW THE BOTTOM END OF THE THE PIVOT BALL WILL COME OF THE SHOCKS IT NOT BROKEN BUT IT NOT EASY TO COME OFF THE SHOCKS ON THE STOCK OR THE PROLINE XT SHOCKS

[@kailahutt1187]

Is there a way to tell what shock will fit my car?

[@TheRCNetwork]

Which car?

[@kailahutt1187]

The RCNetwork losi Baja try

[@kailahutt1187]

Losi Baja rey

[@Firewlkre]

Those must be rtr shocks, they don't look like my kit shocks?Also are u ignoring the rr10 bomber?🙈🙉🙊ha ha just kidding!

[@TheRCNetwork]

+v. ardolino They're the RTR shocks...I have the KIT as well, and really the only differences are the color of the alum shock body and machined pistons in the KIT. you'll still have issues with he KIT, as I have had in the RTR

[@gravediggerrc]

SHOULD BE A DIRECT FIT BUT IT IS NOT BECAUSE THE PROLINE XT SHOCK THE PIVOT BALL STICK OUT TO FAR

[@TheRCNetwork]

Like I said, these are intended for the Axial Yeti,, but can fit your SMT10 with slight modifications.

[@gravediggerrc]

MAY BE YOU KNOW SOME THING THAT I DO NOT KNOW

[@Ewoodster]

Almost all videos about Axial vehicles sound like they are bad vehicles out of the box. So why bother spending hundrets of dollars on a bad plattform, when you can buy a much better plattform like the Rock Rey and then improve it even further?

[@TheRCNetwork]

Most RTR's from Axial are great out of the box with stock electrics. It's when people start dropping in big power, and adding weight when items become an issue. As for the Losi Rock Rey....It's not all bells and whistles. It needs several things to make it work decent on stock electrics - and that's IF you can find parts....stock diff gears (bevel and pinion) have been out of stock since May 2017 till September 2017....

[@gravediggerrc]

HELLO THERE I AM NEW TO THE HOBBY AND I HAVE THE AXIAL SMT 10 GRAVE DIGGER AND I AM TRYING TO MOUNT THE PROLINE POWER STORK XT SHOCKS 62 75-00 ON THE AXIAL AR60 LINK MOUNT #AXI31433 WOULD HAPPEN TO KNOW ABOUT THIS I NEED HELP MOUNT THIS PRO LINE SHOCKS

[@TheRCNetwork]

The Powerstroke Xt shocks should work on all four corners of the SMT10 and should bolt into those AXI31433's fine. For the upper mount, you may have to get creative for the offset of the shock on the cap if the stock hardware doesn't work
