[@choke666]

[@paulstaal4089]

Hi, I bought the Pro Line Utlra Reservoir Shoks, they realy look great. Is there a pdf or video how to best assemble them ?

[@paulstaal4089]

Sorry....found it...

[@danielday4519]

Wow,, thank you,, I finally understand how dual rate spring works,, that’s a bit embarrassing to admit,, but awesome job on explaining,, sometimes simplicity is what people need,,, this will be my first upgrade on my new V2, Xmax,, for sure,,, for I already use Pro Line Tires-belted,, great traction in anything!!! 💪💪💯✌️

[@edwardselesky6620]

On a positive note, just installed your PRO-SPEC scaler shocks (6316-02) front & rear on my TRX-4 Defender, after contacting proline tech went with a 70wt oil. Fully detailed weighing in at 19lbs regained my ride height. Along with your flat iron xl tires / closed cell foam combination now have a crawler which is a joy to utilize regardless of the terrain. Thanks for the support and offering such a great product!!!

[@OswaldBeef]

19 lbs!?!?! I'm thinking I'd get these for my I thought heavy 10 lb trx4 and run 30 weight..am I off? Also how the hell you up to a 19 lbs in trx4?

[@gangsterHOTLINE]

_19lbs!? Hahahahaha. This is 2 years later Edward must be ripppppped by now hauling that thing around._ *Mutilator of motors! Eater of ESCs! A 9-5 job with Postmates and Lyft can't keep up with this crawlers greed for operational parts! Demanding a power source that hasn't been developed yet----38S LiPoF04ionX!!!!!* _Seriously though my TRX4 is like 14lbs. Its a heavy ass rig ain't it? Congrats on 20lbs. though that's impressive man._ *SCX---10---3!? FOUR IS STILL BIGGER THAN THREE AXIAL HAHAHHAHA.19LBS. BIGGER!!*

[@philswanson1817]

Why at the beginning of the video do you show the plastic spacer between the 2 springs flipped upside down compared to the rest of the video? Even your instructions page has the plastic spacer facing the other direction.

[@codeyp52]

Im literally having this conversation with my hobby shop as we speak 😂

[@llmandoii8493]

Which way is correct? The one on the X maxx or the one he is holding in hand?

[@xtyano440]

I just had this shocks yesterday I noticed a great improvement on turns !

[@SpeedSyko]

I’d love to have those shocks! Very expensive but I get why. Vey well made. Very informative video👍💯

[@bryan70546]

Honestly I think the stock shocks are just fine. I have these shocks and I'm really not that impressed.

[@sidewaysPT]

At least there's one rc company that understands shocks.

[@cameronmardis]

I have the Proline Powerstroke shocks for my Slash 4x4 and love them!

[@AverageRCBasher]

They are sweet aren’t they? I have them on my slash 4 too

[@MCMXI1]

How is good that the top spring is bottomed out just from the weight of the truck?

[@bryan70546]

probley the softest spring , you get 6 top springs in the package soft/med/hard so you can tune the shock

[@a1bdfgb]

Very informative video. What's with the train noise all the way through

[@karlkiernan6863]

Sounds like some Cnc equipment working away in the back ground.

[@llmandoii8493]

Which is correct install, the one you are holding or the ones installed on the x maxx?

[@Lee-tp2kh]

Hey guys I have loved proline since I was able to afford my first dual rates for my slash then I moved up to the prolines now I’m totally away from the traxxas rtr crap amd I miss the amazing craftsmanship of the prolines what setup can I use for my Losi 8 buggies when will you guys make a nice big bore 1/8 style shock

[@cotytungate8699]

Any for the maxx 4s

[@LargeeeScaleLife]

Definitely putting this on my truck along with your brute body for sure

[@martinmoran89]

I done this and it's a nice combo 👌

[@martinmoran89]

Does it matter which way the collar is installed? Your shock assembly had it installed one way and the truck when installed it was the other way?

[@llmandoii8493]

Which way did you install the collar? I just received my set and this video shows both ways, which way is correct??

[@martinmoran89]

@@llmandoii8493 short section of the collar should be on the top

[@llmandoii8493]

@@martinmoran89 thanks!

[@stevenroberts8352]

I had just spoke to to a friend of mine that runs nationals about running these along with MIP rebound valves. I am extremely curious if this would allow the use of a lighter fluid to get even more response out of the smaller spring but still keep the rebound tame with the stiffer one

[@videocardzrule354]

I have the proline xmaxx shock shafts. And they leak. I can’t find any support or help about it either. I have assembled my shocks properly, The xmaxx proline shock lowers just leak And i’m not sure why? And because these shocks do NOT have a rubber wipe they feel super gritty after driving the truck. I am pretty disappointed in the proline xmaxx shafts so far. When I assemble my proline shafts, how tight do I tighten the lower nut that holds the seals in place of the cartridge? Do I hand tighten that black aluminum Nut? Or use a wrench and torque it down a little ?? Please help me guys. No one seems to know how to build these properly. proline!!

[@steveh8224]

I can not seem find any video of them being tested on an x-maxx yet. Really want to get them but would like to see them in action first.

[@codeyp52]

I have them on my xmaxx. One kit only comes with 2 spring seperators so note that, can only use 2 springs of each upper and lower, if u want front and rear u need 2 kits.. kinda dumb. But ya. I like the setup i have but woulda been cool to use other springs on the front.. but i cant find seperators seperate to purchase. Deff not buying another kit for them.

[@ProLineRacingYT]

Hi @Steve H, Most of our X-Maxx videos feature the truck using these shocks, including the one linked below. Definitely Subscribe to see more! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmncoJSYqrd0brc Thanks for your interest and support!

[@dakid1231]

[@georgeschidiac9125]

[@MrFRESKOTV]

I’ll be the first to ask . What kind of front bumper is that ????

[@billderas3420]

Is there a video for the Pro-line crawler springs?

[@ProLineRacingYT]

Hi @Bill Deras, Here is a link to our Pro-Spec Crawler shock video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWPKZKanrtGnhdk We hope this answers your question, Thanks for your interest and support!

[@belkey3]

Seen that front bumper in a few of your videos now is it gonna be available soon

[@AverageRCBasher]

Is it proline, I’ve never seen one like it

[@KeyhaneBishomar]

Hi, first thx for the video, i have upgraded my xmaxx legs into aluminium therefor it has more weight now ,do you recommend these schocks for my xmaax? I also need a dual spring for each shock tower. Plz give me some tips

[@ProLineRacingYT]

Hi @LU LU, Yes our shock upgrades for X-MAXX are great way to boost the performance and increase the ability to tune your truck exactly how you want it. See the link below for all of our upgrades to help take your truck to the max!⬇️⬇️⬇️ www.prolineracing.com/traxxas-x-maxx/ We hope this answers your question, Thanks for your interest and support!

Make A set for the DBXL 2.0 much much needed please.

[@gooberfootrc3866]

What's the complete 4 shocks set up like that for the xmaxx gonna cost me

[@greg43207]

Damn near 500$ for whole kit. Idk why I bought it but damn they look good on my truck

[@brdtrd69]

You need to make more stuff for the UDR

[@miketube6662]

Any for the arrma big rick v3

[@BlackMetalRC85]

How much do they cost?

[@jctorres4420]

Is there any for trx unlimited

[@samlynn5745]

Can i use 102mm SC proline powerstroke shocks on RC Crawler?

[@ProLineRacingYT]

Hi @sam lynn, The SC shocks are not intended for crawlers, but it may be possible to make the combination work. If you are simply looking for a longer shock for your crawler, we do offer the the Pro-Spec Scaler Shocks in a longer 105-110mm length that would fit your crawler perfectly. We hope this answers your question, Thanks for your interest and support!

[@samlynn5745]

Thank you :)

[@migelnojodakbrn1116]

U have for traxxas maxx 4s

[@bongofury3176]

It sounds like 3 people using Atlas 6x6 in the background...

[@noobrXGamingOmg]

Spring Seperator is mounted the Wrong Way...

[@kennethwelty1190]

The other brand shock looked set up to look bad. Makes me think!

[@justaguy4788]

That's not a dual rate spring, that's two single rate springs with different rates

[@persuasiv3tv260]

What spring rate do you recommend for the Xmaxx?

[@johnc7753]

Not a dual rate setup. You've combined 2 springs without a method to transition between 2 rates. It's now an average spring rate between the 2.

[@coolhawk2003]

1:44

[@YaUwAk247]

Awsome

[@derwoodsdiy7710]

It would only be over $600 to have those shocks.

[@STP_RIDGELINE]

😀👊👍🤙🇺🇸

[@Scoobied77]

The red (hardest) top spring is completely useless with a modded X-Maxx. The spring is far to soft.

[@martinmoran89]

I also find that the hardest spring is fully collapsed when sitting static. Unlike the above video 🤔

[@greg43207]

Just put them on my truck and find the same issue. Red upper spring is too soft with 1100kv n max 5 setup

[@eastermister1]

But you only have an eighth of an inch of travel those springs will be constantly compressed doing almost nothing unless you're at walking speed. You fail again proline. Take your high prices and low quality crap somewhere else

[@LawrenceTimme]

Wow so the top spring is completely pointless. Amazing.

[@bryan70546]

how so?
