Atom 1/18 oil shock upgrade... Test, BAD NOISE😱 and investigate!

Ойын-сауық

It's always nice going from friction shocks to FULL ALUMINIUM oil filled shocks🤩
But hold on, it only does 21kph and we got damage already, oh no!

    It is a cool little rig, wish it came with bearings though😅 I have always loved smale scale cars mainly because they are so practical if you can't get away from home much like myself. Many people are dedicated to bigger cars though yes. I'll take them all if I could😅

    Good video. The oil shocks were definitely better. I don't think that the stock brushed system will have a problem handling 3S. That is not cool about the diff messing up like that. I would think that it should be able to handle more than that.

    Oh no the stock 2in1 board would surly share some smoke on 3s I think😵 Sorry I worded that a little wrong as I did mean just the stock motor but with that little 3s Hobbywing esc, I don't mind if the motor fries. And I'm right there with you on the diffs, can't even pop a wheelie, cheese diffs😆 I believe the bushings have already started wearing the diff housing therefore moving the gears further apart so HOPEFULLY bearings and shims stop anymore damage and I can keep using this original rear diff🤞 Thanks Tim!

    Have any ideas on how to fix the shocks from not wanting to compress on the maverick atom? Been looking for new ones and they are on the other end of the country

  • @rccrazy

    @rccrazy

    Ай бұрын

    I could take a guess but there isn't that many things that could cause them to lock up, bent shock shafts maybe. I have noticed with some of the friction shocks, once sand and dust gets inside them they tend to lock up because of excessive friction from the dust between the shaft and shock body.
