Is it possible to put one of those exhausts that dose the back fire and to also make the wheels go full sideways when turning like the drift RC cars

These are definitely fun and challenging to mod since there is not much specific for them. But it crawls pretty dang great now and you can’t beat the body!

Thanks brother! Should do an in depth shock upgrade video. Whered you get the parts you needed to mount on to the axels? Im thinking if i just get a longer bolt... itll do. But impossible to use the existing one with my OME shocks.

I used Hobby Plus CR-18 aluminum shocks which are the same setup for mounting. You can try and swap the bottom shock end with the stock ones possibly? Those OME shocks do look super scale but are super stiff! Good luck with the modding!

Cross RC I think. They are Hobby Plus shocks.

Hi, I'm looking to get the katana and the weighted wheels and the shocks would be something I want to upgrade and I looked up the shocks you put in it and it doesn't mention anything about oil in them. Did you need to modify the shocks at all? and what did you put in them? im new to RC so this is all alien to me.

I just added some 2000 CST weight silicon diff oil. You could use a tad bit of grease as well. Done often in the micro shocks to help with the bounce. I did not modify them.

Hello! If you get the chance can you tell me if you notice how the front suspension doesn't flex and stuff itself like the back Shocks. I get there's a panhard up front along with the steering arm. Did you notice better flex with the new Shocks up front?.Thanks for your time.

Hard to remember exactly what the exact front improvement amount was, but it performs just great. Check out these 2 running videos. Both were after the shock upgrade.

Oh no. I went to marine grease shortly after. Anything will eventually wear itself out of the shock since these have no O-rings. Either really helps, just needs attention every so often. The grease is slower to leak out.

Those are standard friction shocks, not oil shocks. You'd be better off with a small dab of grease inside or green slime lube. For oil shocks you can use the slightly longer Carisma MSA1-E aluminum oil filled shocks, but they require different mounting and do still leak a bit.
