Pro-Line HOW-TO: Assemble Ultra Reservoir Shock Cap for X-MAXX

[@choke666]

YEA YEA, I GOT THE FULL PROLINE SHOCK SETUP FOR MY X MAXX. SHOCK BODIES & RESERVOIR CAPS SHOWED UP TODAY! NOW JUS WAITING ON DUAL RATE SPRINGS AND THE POWER STROKE LOWERS. -AND LIKE A GALLON OF SHOCK OIL!! ;) CANT WAIT THO, WILL BE PURE AWESOMENESS! THANKYOU!!

[@greenman407]

A very good how too video. The written instructions that came with the shock caps were good, but seeing it demonstrated is better. Thanks

[@badlilstang]

Spring retainer at bottom typically has a screw to hold it in place..

[@barharborbasher249]

Sick shock kit ! I'll be running these on my 1/5 Bomber XL

[@jamesrobinson4950]

Can someone explain how this is an improvement?

[@AndyPorter79]

I saw air get trapped in the shock during assembly in the res. piston cup side. I suggest you bleed that.

[@ProLineRacingYT]

There’s actually an air bleed hole in between the two o-rings of the reservoir piston. The piston was inserted slowly to let the air out from inside the piston.

Im exited to get mine delivered 🔥 2 more days ill get the whole kit of these Proline shock absorbers 💪👌🔥💯

[@choke666]

@Brown Archer How'd they turn out?! I also ordered the full setup for my X maxx, some like 466$ i think lol! CANT WAIT THO!!!

[@NelsRc73]

Hello, I would like to have your opinion on a problem that I encounter with the tanks. After a few packs, I notice a sagging damping, let me explain, when I put the xmaxx on the turrets the shock absorbers sink about 15 mm, which is due to air in the damper main body. And when I remove the tank cap, I can observe oil above the piston so this oil is necessarily missing in the body. So I replace the 2 O-rings of 15X1, I go up the piston with the least pressure in the tank as you explain it. And it happens again! Thank you in advance for your interest in my question.

Ouch like $500 for the complete shock set for my x-maxx 😬

[@martinmoran89]

I'm having oil bypass the piston in the piggyback reservoir on 2 of my shocks. As a result I'm left with an air pocket in the shock :-(

[@wise--men]

Hi! Is the diameter compatible for capping Maxx Shocks? Not the X.

[@MrGdbsti05]

proline xmaxx that should be a limited addition

[@mav68nrs]

but how do I do the other 3?

[@martinmoran89]

Just fitted mine today, thanks for the informative video :-)

[@ukasscod9561]

Pro line, you didnt answer James below so please answer me, what improvement will these give if any, if your pushing the piston all the way down you have only a fraction more oil in your shocks with these as you would without, just an extra spring to slow the oil going through the piston and slow the depression of the shock after a jump is all I can imagine it doing, please explain before I decide to spend £180

[@ProLineRacingYT]

Hi @UKASS COD, The reservoirs do not drastically change the damping characteristics of these shocks. They are meant to compensate for the volume of the shaft as it enters the body during compression and keep the internal pressure low and consistent. This is especially helpful with our shock shafts which are larger in diameter than the stock shafts. Keeping the internal pressure consistent reduces the stress on seals and provides more repeatable damping. We hope this helps answer your question, Thanks for your interest and support!

[@ukasscod9561]

@@ProLineRacingYT I've purchased the shock tops and they came yesterday, can't afford the rest right now as its a small fortune for them but hope to get the rest at some point

[@alanbradsby1225]

Very nicely built more oil smoother ride

[@Keyhan-c8c]

hi, i added alot more gear on my xmaxx than it had in its original shape, it weight is 2 kg more than the day one, and i feel the body stays closer to ground than before, i need some stronger sting or shock tower to balance the weight of the body. can you help me with that?

[@ProLineRacingYT]

Hi @Mr Crow, Our X-Maxx PowerStroke HD Shock Bodies and Dual Rate Spring Assortment will help you accomplish that. You can find them in the direct link below.⬇⬇⬇ www.prolineracing.com/large-scale-performance-parts/ We hope this answers your question, Thanks for your interest and support!

[@SPEED-7]

Does it has a rebound on the shock shaft?after adding the oil and bubble air removed?

[@ProLineRacingYT]

Hi SPEED TUJUH, If you fill the shock with a lot of reserve oil by only pushing down the reservoir piston partway during assembly, you can build enough pressure into the shock so that it will push the shock shaft out to some extent at equilibrium (the balance between forces).

[@JPRC]

Great tutorial !

[@scintilla83rchannel13]

Bel tutorial e bel prodotto

[@cmk5522]

How much oil did you use per shock and is 30 weight the best for the X maxx?

[@ProLineRacingYT]

Hi @Mike Kennedy, 2 bottles of oil should be enough. We recommend 30, but a heavier oil weight might suit your needs better. Thanks for your interest and support!

[@timwilliams6894]

2bottles per shock or per pair?

[@MrCheckster2000]

Love to see a set for my DBXL-E....just sayin

[@Daddarussiashorts]

Where do I buy the oil and what kind ?

[@ProLineRacingYT]

Hi Boris Burmenko, Please contact your local hobby shop to purchase and gain information on different shock oils. Thanks for your interest and support!

[@agustinsorgentini4185]

You have at least a galon of oil in those shocks.

[@TheZohansolo]

is this for sale yet?

[@ProLineRacingYT]

Hi Johann Deffert, Yes, this shock cap is ready for order from our website or most hobby dealers. www.prolineracing.com/performance-parts/ultra-reservoir-shock-cap-x-maxx/ Thank you for your support!

[@Dwayne1266]

Is it 93 for all 4

[@ProLineRacingYT]

Hello D Slim, the price listed on our Product page is per pair: www.prolineracing.com/ultra-reservoir-shocks/ultra-reservoir-shocks-105mm/

[@romper4444]

After watching this I've realized this is a gimmick, the reservoir piston is so far down into the res that very little extra oil is actually being added to the overall total volume of the shock. I'd love to see a temp check of proline shock vs a standard shock after as 25m bash session. I bet there is little to no difference in temperature. Don't get me wrong here I love proline products but really this is a bling thing, your just as better off to put fake reservoirs on for the look. I think all this accomplishes is creating a much higher chance of building your shocks improperly and reducing the ability for the shocks to perform at their highest level. I think prolines power stroke shock woulda been a better upgrade.

[@jasonfisher84]

Nice

[@jumpstartrc1571]

sweet

[@snowcoalRC]

$93 for two...

[@MrAngerthis]

I know right we spend more on are rc's then we do on fixing are own cars lol

Why tf would you put ads on your how to video 🙄
