VRX cobra 4s, GPM kraton shocks! Amazing 😃

[@aarondwyer3746]

I have a little tip that Eric from del Rossi hobbies said to try is nail polish to secure your screws just a dab on the he threads and your rocking

[@rccrazy]

Sorry mate I don't really remember that video, what screws do you mean, obviously I had some trouble🤷‍♂️😅

[@RC-gj7kq]

Amazing videos. As allways. 👍🏻

[@rccrazy]

Wow that's going back a little while that vid😅 Thanks Carlos🙏👍

[@RC-gj7kq]

@@rccrazy I know is old video. But now I waiting my new cobra. Is on delivery. And I just calm me for watch videos lol.

[@rccrazy]

Yeah waiting always makes you excited but anxious😕 watching vids of items I'm waiting for makes me worse🤣 so I don't but if it helps you that's awesome 👌

[@RC-gj7kq]

@@rccrazy yes man. Just wait. Always helps a lot with your videos. Also we’re is faccebook in the same group of cobra vrx. With another Spanish guy. My pleasure

[@rccrazy]

Yes, Tres para is doing well with his VRX group👌 And I'm glad my vids help you calm a bit😊👍

[@angesrc]

Those rear shocks look tough. Haven’t done enough study on oil weights tho. Don’t really know what I should be looking for on the suspension side of it.

[@rccrazy]

Yeah they are nice and strong 👌 for my massive jump style for 1/10 cars i like 55w (725cst) in the rear and 45w (610cst) in the front but you may want a bit softer, these GPM shocks feel like 80w 🤯 solid! And that's even after changing to softer springs! Good for heavy 1/8 cars 😅

[@angesrc]

@@rccrazy thanks Saul. I’ll have to look at purchasing some of this oil.

[@rccrazy]

Oh and if you still need them or actually want them iv started the alloy shock towers so let me know, all good if not

[@angesrc]

@@rccrazy yeah for sure man. Just for now to get by I’ve made a thicker 10mm shock tower out of the same material which is holding up at the moment ,but I’d still prefer an aluminium one. And Don’t worry I haven’t forgotten about our catch up !. I’ve been working seven days a week for the past two months. 🏗👷🏼‍♂️.

[@benganz7944]

Awesome driving

[@rccrazy]

Thanks mate👍 I miss those jumps😭

[@benganz7944]

I need that front bumper! Too bad it’s coming from Australia 🇦🇺 and shipping to US is too expensive!

[@rccrazy]

You can get the bumpers from many places, just google FTX or VRX bumpers, im sure Banggood and Aliexpress have them. I buy locally (Aus) for the same reason mate, too expensive shopping internationally.

[@rccrazy]

Yeah Aliexpress have them with the alloy hinge pin braces. m.aliexpress.com/item/1005002626380142.html?pdp_npi=2%40dis%21AUD%21AU%20%2416.35%21AU%20%2412.45%21%21%21%21%21%402101d1ae16617844166574407e1948%2112000021460882740%21btf&_t=pvid%3Ac14cf787-4fb0-432e-bd2f-e6021a411538&afTraceInfo=1005002626380142__msite__c_ppc_item_bridge__xxxxxx__1661784416&spm=a2g0n.ppclist.product.0&gatewayAdapt=Pc2Msite

[@zqistpvd]

I have the vrx octane and it sure can handle a beating!!

[@rccrazy]

Yeah they aren't too bad, mine is no good anymore, diffs won't last more than 5mins from new🤔

[@tottalytoast7394]

i think the diffs are dying because your giving it too much power, i saw a comment you replied too saying that the cobra isnt on your reccomendations but i have never had a diff problem ever and i have given it abuse, so much abuse in fact i have already snapped the body shell in half, but the diffs are still going strong, so in my book i love the cobra and would reccomend it, please answer if im wrong

[@rccrazy]

That's fine mate, if you would recommend it that's up to you. I wouldn't personally for my bash style because in stock form there not very strong, many upgrades were needed to get this car running good, many weeks of pay for someone in my situation! Check out the newer video's to see how its going now (ramp session videos)

[@MattsHobbyWorkshop]

Nice! I really like those anodized swing arm upgrades! Been considering getting one of these. Do you reckon it's better than the HSP?

[@rccrazy]

Shiny! 😁 So, its a amazing car to drive, but I would not recommend getting one! I think I was very lucky to get a consistently working cobra because iv only heard bad things about them, the main issue being the differentials (the worst)

[@MattsHobbyWorkshop]

@@rccrazy Good to know! I read bad about it, too, but wasn't sure if the reviews were biased. Saves me money!👍

[@rccrazy]

Oh and by the way, no 8s HSP yet 😧 the motor i wanted to use is way to big (x-maxx motor) ill make a oversized mount asap, it'll still happen👍

[@MattsHobbyWorkshop]

@@rccrazy Xmaxx motor! Wow! To the moon, dude!! Can't wait!!😁😁😁💯

[@hyukim4686]

Nice. How do you fix 4s battery? Isnt it fit for tray??

[@rccrazy]

My 4s batterys i use in these cars are only 3300mah so they fit perfect 👌 I have got 4500mah 4s but they do not fit.

[@ihde2000]

Hi how is it going if you dont mind what tires are on there

[@rccrazy]

Hi Rob, they are Remo hobby monster truck wheels, very good 1/10 wheels!👍 www.ebay.com.au/itm/4-PCS-Wheel-Rim-Tires-Remo-Hobby-1-10-1-8-Monster-truck-RC-Car-12mm-Hub-P3978/182775991636

[@cocosrcs9971]

Have you found how to stop diffs from breaking

[@rccrazy]

No I didn't sadly☹ Iv completely given up on VRX or other brands that use the same diffs. I think a few people on Facebook have found and shared solutions. Hope you find a easy fix🤞

[@jessebenjamin4779]

Does this one come with metal a arms?

[@rccrazy]

No the alloy parts are upgrade parts, the plastic parts are very weak so the upgrades are essential!

[@jessebenjamin4779]

@@rccrazy cool. I found your upgrade video right after this one. I think i am adding this one to my list of gotta haves.

[@rccrazy]

If you know how to make a few little DIY braces and mounts that will also be something to think about, oh and get a couple spear differentials, they're a bit weak 🤏 🤘👍
