[@lyndonwortley6329]

Try using the ends from the standard Axial Scx24 shocks on your double barrel shocks. They will screw on and they give improved articulation and help alleviate binding issues.

@@lyndonwortley6329 Great suggestion! I have never tried this but will have to give it a go!

Hey Adam, Great presentation! I am newly returning to the RC hobby and picked up a SCX 24 Gladiator this weekend based on your video and tips. I dove in and went all in on new shocks employing your tips. The performance increase is nothing short of amazing. Thank you sir!

Hey buddy, thank you so much for your tips, I was going mad trying to setup my 48mn shocks on my C10, I was ready to give up and put the originals back on, but, thanks to this video I dialed in the shocks perfectly, your last rubber bands tip is awesome, I'm running them with the original springs, positioned on the rail, not the posts, rubber bands front and back, best of both worlds, stops the nose lifting and the back axle going under when climbing up and still gives me all of the extra travel going over obstacles, my C10 went from a decent crawler to an unstoppable force of the crawling gods!!!! Thanks man

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thank you! I love to hear this!! Enjoy!

[@rerunracing]

Dude this is aggravating. We shouldn't have to put rubber bands and flip them upside down especially for something we pay are hard earned money for. Why are people acting like this is normal and ok. Maybe the company should just make something that works

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thank you! I’m glad to hear it!

[@matdiclemente3564]

Some great tips man, excellent video!! I found that my best set up with the double barrel shocks was actually to use the stock spring on them, works great at keeping the original ride hight and its really easy to adjust the hight too.. that paired up with the upside down shocks made a night and day difference for me

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks! Your setup is an excellent one. Since this video I’ve started doing that exact thing to the gladiator.

[@V8chump]

I also found the stock springs on telescopic shocks to be great! I use stock rear shocks and extended front shocks with the stock spring. That way when I come over an obstacle my front tires try to reach down much further so I get high centered less often and with the stock springs it doesn’t flip backwards. Using the long springs that come with the telescopic shocks REALLY decreases performance because the spring makes your ride height way way too high

[@billc9635]

Danngit, wish I seen this video sooner. I just got my first scx24 second hand, it already had these double barrel shocks and I HATE THEM. just got shorter oil shocks yesterday for it but now I'm thinking I want to try these tricks before I switch over. Thank you!

[@ethanh3421]

I’ve found you don’t really need limiting straps as long as you run the double barrels in the rear and then regular shocks without springs up front. It’s built in limiting ;)

[@CapeCrawlers]

That’s a great setup. I ran that on the c10 for a while and it performed spectacularly

[@ajblair8421]

i removed the o rings from top and bottom of the shocks and it made it worlds better. running 48mm on my c10. ❤

[@williammoore1534]

I love the one o ring idea. The looseness of the articulation makes perfect sense. I used your idea with the linkage as well-specifically the injora high clearance, 4 link linkage. I only run one o ring on my belly dragger's linkage. It really loosens up the articulation and allows the axle to move much more freely. Would love to hear your thoughts on this

[@jeremiahsworkshop492]

[@stalkerzdrus7121]

Rigid springs are needed for those cases when you want to install shock absorbers not vertically, but at a very large angle, almost horizontally. Then it makes sense.

[@basherz_den]

All I do is put a small nut behind the the top of the shock.. seems to work perfectly.. if yourr ocd like me.. putting your shocks upside down is out of the question.. lol.. awesome videos man.. so much good information.

This tips are definitely going to be helpful. I’ve been working on mofo lcg gladiator build. No a single stock part left on this thing lol and the shocks are the one thing I’m not 100% happy with. Never used the 43mm shocks until this build and your tips with definitely help because I didn’t like how much they bind. Guess I’ll be back at the bench today working. On this thing for hours 😂

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching! I have the mofo chassis on my deadbolt. I was having binding issues early but it turned out to be my linkage and not the shocks. Once I got the links right, the suspension worked great. That chassis has so many options for shock placement you should be able to find a spot for smooth operation easy enough. You can see how I mounted mine in the deadbolt build video.

[@cardboardcrawlersrc8805]

Hey Ricky. Just reading some old comments. Have you tried spacing the upper mount out off the frame/mounting point. I often use two spare grommets from pivot balls or even an extra axle nut. Just that 1 or 2 mm of spacing off really helps. I have many sets of double barrels and on one or two sets I have also had to sand the lower barrel to get smoother action. Good luck

[@yotday]

Those Injora shocks come with spacers you can use to help make the shocks more vertical so they don’t bind. Don’t need to run them upside down.

[@CapeCrawlers]

I wonder if that's a new feature as I don't recall getting spacers with mine. Good tip though!

[@willemrulesatstuff2153]

I got spacers with mine

[@DurpVonFronz]

Hey man how are ya. So I took this mod and used it on the links as well. If you test the twist of your rig in your hand, you can tell that near the end of the flex its starting to bind. That is the links Orings binding and stopping the full flex of these lil rigs. Took mine off and its unreal how far its able to flex now. Its pretty awesome.

Yes, great point!

I've turned shocks upside down for many years on all my vehicles that will allow it.. because cheap ones from overseas leak, and although very minor, more weight is positioned down low.

Hey Adam, I put the 43 mm RC Lions shocks on my sxc24 and the front of my truck looks great but for some reason the back of my truck is sagging down all the way to the body. Any suggestions?

[@CapeCrawlers]

You can try mounting those shocks to different locations to try to get the back end sitting level. You can also experiment with different springs/lengths. Sometimes you can use the harder springs that come with the shocks and trim them to a shorter length to get the height you want

[@jordanharris3749]

Can you detail the shock setup on the C10, or maybe provide some links for the suspension? I like the idea of using the stock springs but adding more articulation a lot.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Sure! In this video, I am using the stock front shocks but mounted to the frame. It's a quick trick to add more axle drop without buying any new parts. In the back, I am running 43mm Injora shocks (amzn.to/3FP4lkf). These are also frame mounted to allow for lots of axle drop. But this is where stock springs come into play. I install the stock springs on the long travel shocks to keep the ride height down. Otherwise mounting these long shocks to the frame would severely lift the chassis, which we don't want. Stock springs, or no springs at all, counteract this.

How does the upside down shocks effect dampening if at all?

In my experience it doesn't. Your spring selection will impact your dampening, but running them inverted or traditional shouldnt impact the dampening. I personally dont notice a difference.
