I always forget to comment and like. I’ve watched this video so many times thank you

[@3SonsRC]

Thanks brother, that means a LOT! I'M glad to hear that you are enjoying the channel, see ya round brother

[@TignoRice]

Thanks for the video and tips! Hope you don’t mind me saying would be great if you have a pen or something to point it out to new guys who are not familiar with this type of Rc

[@3SonsRC]

Thanks My new videos have this, but I was using a more basic editing tool when I made this. Thanks for your time and support, hope your enjoying the channel, see ya round brother

[@harbinger26]

Newb here. Have no idea what he’s pointing at so learned nothing even after watching 5x. 🤷‍♀️

[@zachashtonjones1]

OH MY GOSH.. This will save my arrma from the classifieds. Hoping this fixes the half shaft issues. appreciate the vid

[@joshbalding2349]

Great information on setting up the droop screws! I subbed to the channel.

[@3SonsRC]

Appreciate buddy, I love to bash and send it (so check those videos) but honestly I love to share tips and installs, because I might go big, but not RC DUDE81 or Duperbash big.... At least not yet 😏

[@dirtrider88]

what about the washers on the droop screws????

[@3SonsRC]

Not sure what ya mean brother about Washers on the droop screws? Has Arrma started using them under the droop screws? Honestly this video is VERY old (check some of my new stuff) and this is a v3 Kraton that came with terrible droop screws. I use the M2C Droop Screws because they are the best. But I know arrma has better ones now but not as good as the M2C ones. Hope your enjoying the channel bro, see ya round

[@ransranger]

Thank you, Just getting into RC cars with my 1st Kraton 8s. I was wondering why so many people were breaking the neck's off shockers😊

[@smeefbeef367]

Bro chose the best RTR ever made as his first RC. Respect man, I just hope you’re till bashing it!

[@peterbennpan7288]

Do you know if a Traxxas XO-1 has droop screws???

[@3SonsRC]

Sorry brother I have no idea on that rig. It's typically always on a metal pan type chassis like race buggies, truggies, all Arrma's, Tekno's etc. I know the Maxx and Xmaxx don't have them. Appreciate your time and question, hope your enjoying the channel See ya round

[@Twentyfoursilver]

Great vid , very important info. Thanks for your time 👊😎

[@careyleacock5768]

Great vid thanks for posting. I just broke a shock end today :( I was trying to look up the ar727410 on Horizon hobbies and it keeps showing arac9870?? Is this a change up?

[@careyleacock5768]

Found them on amain hobbies

[@3SonsRC]

Sorry didn't get back earlier.... Glad you found the part. Side note I have moved to M2C for the droop screws.... They are the best I have found. Thanks for your time. See ya round

[@007nubber]

What screws would you use for outcast 8s and no cant get M2C yet so anything Els?

[@3SonsRC]

What screws you needing or talking about? I always have a backup hardware set from Jenny's RC as backup. I think they are $36. Hope that helps. Appreciate your time and support/Sub. Stay safe!

[@007nubber]

3 Sons RC ohh sry ment the droop screws that i Can use on outcast 8s

[@3SonsRC]

@@007nubber oh I just used the standard button head (rounded lines) from arrma (6s kit) think they are 3m... Whatever ones fit the hole to be fair. Two per arm as there are 2 holes. Unfortunately they only adjust from the bottom so maybe I can convince Mitch to make some 8s ones.... But the standard button heads work for now. Hope that helps

[@007nubber]

3 Sons RC helped alot thx for info enjoying your vlog=)

[@3SonsRC]

Glad I could help. You watched the Swamp Adventure Vlog? That's great.... It's just family stuff no RC

[@neurofunk2731]

Does this apply to on road cars too mate

[@3SonsRC]

Yes, but not in the same was as a basher. The arms on a street rig usually don't go down much to worry about over extending, but the droop screws 9n a street rig would be used to set ride heights and limit suspension travel for speed runs. All depends if it actually has droop screws or not. Arrma rigs have them typically on all their rigs. Great question brother, hope your enjoying the channel, see ya round

[@neurofunk2731]

Thanks for the reply mate 👍

Awesome info brother and happy new year 🥳 thanks for sharing valuable information Just joined the family 😎 👊

[@lifetakesflight]

I want to adjust the droop on my mojave exb. Do I need to replace the screws before I adjust the droop screws? Thanks for the videos! Your style and editing really changed in one year nice work!

[@3SonsRC]

Appreciate the support brother, glad you are enjoying the channel. Yeah some of my older videos like this have so many views but done old editing style 😕 I just finished my RC KZbin studio with proper lighting you can see it incomplete in my XMaxx video. You can use the stock Mojave droop screws but I DON'T like them as they dig into the chassis more than the M2C ones I show off in my most recent video for the RPM Droop screw fix. The M2C ones are awesome, fully reccomend! They don't damage or dig into the chassis😎👍 Thanks again for your kind words brother See ya round

[@codywichman213]

Great tips on droop setting. I have a mojave exb, and I've been asking for people to measure their droop/ up travel so I can reference it. My stock truck has gone thro two sets of diff our drives, both on the same side. It happens over one or two sessions. I'm worried about up travel and shock rod length. Unfortunately there is no stock settings to look at for that info. Any help would be appreciated. I think it could be droop related so i took a lot of droop out. I just don't wanna ruin another our drive

[@3SonsRC]

Ok so two different things going on here. First, just follow my guide for taking droop out, you only need to take out a bit no matter the truck. But what your having happen is dogbone popping out because of too much UP travel, that's not droop and taking more droop out will not help that. Try adding a small bump stop at the bottom of the shock shaft above the shock rod end. You can use some thick plastic tubing or a few thick plastic spacers or somthing. Point is this will restrict the arm travel up a little bit (reducing droop stops arm going down). On big Compression the arm is compressing too much and popping out the dogbones and messing up the drive cup.... That has happened to me as well on my Mojave EXB. Add some bit of bump stops should help. The Talion comes stock with bump stops. Appreciate the kind support, glad your enjoying the channel... See ya round brother Hope this helps

[@codywichman213]

@@3SonsRC thanks for the reply. I will definitely set a small bump stop. Maybe two mil should work. Also any info on the lsd diffs. I'm looking for tips on fluid and different lsd plate arrangements

[@3SonsRC]

@@codywichman213 you can't mess with the lsd arrangements as they lock together specifically. So leave those as stock. I just don't go as thick a diff fluid as I might go because you need to let the lsd plates do their job. So in a situation where I might go 500k I might go 3-400 with LSD's..... If I would normally go 50k in front I might go 40k instead with LSD's.... My 2 Cents.

[@jzepp7013]

I have a v5 Kraton 6s and the droop screws are already the button head type. I adjusted mine just a bit to lower my vehicle for speed runs to be better planted. Along with adjusting the ride height with the shock screws, i have about 2" of clearance from chassis to the ground. I like my Kraton a bit lowered. I dont really bash and plus i dont like the jacked up stock look of the Kraton with the 5" of ground clearance.

[@3SonsRC]

Yeah the newer Arrma rigs moved to these type a screws.... I think they saw my video😂🤣 Even better are the M2C ones as they are completely rounded no hex, these still dig slightly especially into the cheaper metal Arrma uses not as much into a m2c chassis. I don't like that "lifted" look either, most rigs handle like crap like that. Even my XMaxx I unwind the collers all the way to the top so it's center of gravity is lower👌 Appreciate your time brother, hope your enjoying the channel... See ya round

[@jzepp7013]

@@3SonsRC yeah! First thing i do is at the least is to lower the spring nuts all the way to the top to get the ride height down a bit

[@rickywayper6666]

Brilliant video & by far best explanation of Arrma Droops on KZbin! I got a set of the suggested arrma button head screws! Can they be fitted without taking A Arms off?

[@3SonsRC]

Thanks man, that means a lot! Thanks for your time and kind words. Yeah you do have to take the arm off. The chassis has a little dog ear underneath that gets in the way. You can try taking the shock off and putting the are fully compressed and from underneath see if you can screw it out. Not sure if it will work though. I have always just installed them when performing other maintenance like rpm arms or getting at the diff. Give it a shot but I don't think so.

[@rickywayper6666]

Thanks I'll give it a closer look tomorrow! Learn more about my Kraton v4 with every vid of yours I watch so PLEASE keep them coming!! 🖒

[@3SonsRC]

@@rickywayper6666 I will my friend, thanks for the support/Sub👌🙌

[@DrewsR6]

My typhon 6s doesn’t have a head on the screws

[@3SonsRC]

Depends on what version.... If it has no head underneath where it comes in contact with the chassis just put some 3mm button heads there.... Even better though are the M2C Droop Screws for Arrma 6s, they can be adjusted from on to and have a perfect big flat mushroom head that does not dig into the chassis at all. This is a super old video.... Hope you enjoyed it, but check out some newer ones brother..... Hope your enjoying the channel, see ya round

[@paulrakis]

Great video on that. Never knew that's those scews will work hopefully on my EXB Kraton. My rig actually came with those scews from factory, but the EXB manual says it's the pointy ones which are ar724412. Anyways just subscribe 👍

[@3SonsRC]

Thanks for your time buddy, Yeah those pointy screws come stock on all Arrma rigs and they tear up the chassis and actually change your droop settings because the dig in☠️. I have since moved over from the screws in this video to the M2C Droop Screws that are much better and a complete dome on one end! No hex no button head at all, and they screw from the Top side, here is a link check them out. m2cracing.net/cars-and-trucks/500-m2c-9131-droop-screw-solid-mushroom-head-style.html Appreciate Your time and kind support...and for the Sub, I will see ya round, lots of other videos I hope you enjoy brother. Just trying to help the community 👍

@@3SonsRC great no problem buddy. Thank you for the great fast response. Yeh just check those out they look pretty beefy. Whenever I need them again il definitely get the M2C ones for sure. Be safe brother
