Traxxas Trx4 FREE MOD | Shock Stickion

[@beng.6417]

Shock o-ring grease did it for me during 1st shock rebuild. Super smooth.

[@rcvg69420]

Wow great tip. Can't wait to try it out with the suspension working properly.

[@redndeyes]

Just did this without removing anything. Compressed spring down enough to get to the bottom cap. The cap was really tight all I did was loosen a smidge no lock tight no plumbing tape no leaks so far lol. See how she holds. Thanks for the idea! Damn clever

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

:) Something sooo small can change a truck

[@sgtlt]

great tip, thanks. when the shock extends it is called rebound not compression just to let you know, not a criticism. great series of videos on the Sport

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

Ahhh cool. Thanks for picking up on that. ☺️ Thanks for watching 👍🏻😎😁☺️

[@nitrocrew_]

Instead of loctite or thread tape try a kyosho 8x10mm .2 shim cut it like a lock washer would resemble and work it beyond the threads like a spiro lock and tighten the cap up it preloads the seals to the proper amount and looks professional

[@TangoDown3359]

You could also try plumbers tape on the thread to tighten it up. Don’t like using thread lock on plastic parts. Great vid though, thanks.

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

Ahhh very cool idea!

[@jstsumguy29]

I’ve never heard the term Stickion before.

[@clitcommander6946]

STICKTION

[@m02is5001966]

why don't you use the O-ring grease instead of using lock tight the shaft is dry and needs grease on it

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

The issue i found is that when the cap was tightened all the way it squeezed the o-rings together.

[@BGnation573]

What size slw hubs you use on the trx4?

[@BK33REVIEWS]

Great tip to get rid of that sticktion 😂😂😂

[@rawangcrawler8537]

U are actually adding more air in the shock and then trap the air. Npt sure if its a good thing. But it seems like your shock got bouncier which kills the purpose of shock oil density.

[@annmargarettalas9976]

your the best johnny, awesome keep up the good work

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

Hehe thanks! :))

[@ShadeTree_RC]

i was thinking about cutting my fenders out like this ....did it make your body less rigid ?

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

Not at all. Was still rigid.

[@ericpeterson9676]

But better on clearance and no tire rub..

[@caljader3388]

Thanks for the vid! 🙏

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

Welcome buddy

[@DEMON_CHILD709]

Awesome thanks...new trx4 owner

[@rccrawlerextreme]

Thnks for the free mod bro!

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

NP enjoy!

[@blueline308]

What the fuck is sticktion?

[@jondoe6618]

Awesome video man! I am trying this now. Stock did seem funny.But it is new to me.

[@macp349]

Thanks for the video! I think I'm gonna have to do this all the way around on my truck

[@juantabby4787]

Thanks bro. Gonna do it tonight.

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

Cool!!! You will notice the shocks have a softer fell. I upped the shock oil in the rear to 50 and the front to 30. Let me know what you think... :))))

[@soloshooter5806]

chapstick .... yes i said chapstick,for lips...will do wonders for stopping friction and loss of shock fluid. just coat the shock shaft and your done.

[@poppysrcandmodels]

That's awesome! Worth remembering!😎👍

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

Awesomeness! Let me know how you like it! :))

[@Zoyboy]

Great tip! Thanks!

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

Welcome :)

[@Yimaj]

Thank you.. great idea

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

thanks buddy! :)

[@kirkleaman6863]

Change the shock oil to 15w much better than the 30wt traxxas puts in them

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

Thanks for the suggestion. ☺️ I like to run 80 in the rear for a slightly stiffer feel. Front I may try the 15 😁

[@45Rand0m]

Don't use threadlocker on plastic

[@rc4you891]

Nice I am going to try that

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

Awesomeness! ☺️

[@altaga66]

Good upgrade men 👍🤙👍

[@jrodzrc4580]

Yeah when 1st got this truck I hated the way the shocks were y I told u what I did haha n it works

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

It’s a little different removing the springs/flipping the shock upside down. This is solely to help remove stickion from the shaft. On my next run I’m going to try and flip the shocks and play with the springs :)))

[@jrodzrc4580]

RcCrawler Vlogs yeah try bro if u don’t like it not hard to change it back man hope u like the way it performs

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

Thanks!! :))) I will keep you posted! :))

[@jrodzrc4580]

Another awesome tip form jrodz rc I’m glad it works for man keep it up brother

[@RealJawnes]

Bro everyone knows this it’s not like you came up with it

[@jrodzrc4580]

@@RealJawnes comment is form 2 years ago jst think bout that

[@SlueXx]

hola@@jrodzrc4580

[@rolexr]

Nice but maybe the shocks loosing their oil much faster!

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

Mine don’t leak with this mod.

[@KevinMillard68]

[@yeeyeerc6984]

Hey bud, thread lock eats up plastic

[@johnmiller4553]

[@Musiquence]

Thanks for the tip!

[@benp3627]

Thank you!!!! The rear on my new sport was identical to the front in the video. Worked great! Thanks!!!

[@Distracted_driving_kills]

Same here. Just got it 3 days ago

[@highlandrc9036]

Thanks for this video

[@509trails]

That's good to know I will do that when I get a trx4

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

It’s soooooo worth it!

[@509trails]

It looks like it. How long have you had your trx4?

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

Had this one for about 6weeks or so.

[@509trails]

How are you liking it?

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

Loving it. Super capable. 😁 what are your plans when you get one?

[@runnerbaba]

[@pthrelkeld090]

[@seansrcconstruction]

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

Awesome!!! Let me know how you like it :)))

[@runnerbaba]

Best tipp!

[@charlesb7831]

Have to watch, some thread locking compounds eat plastics!

[@RcCrawlerGuy]

Yea, I agree. I check yesterday. Seems like it’s holding so far- fingers crossed 😂

[@DIYFred]

Wow

[@1elaijah]

Good

[@stephenr6427]

It's not modified in any way its maintenance and thread lock costs money. Just my opinion
