Yeah, via resistance. It's a hate it or love it mod. For me, I love them on my G-Shot build as I'm running no springs in Gmade G-Transition shocks (similar to Desert Lizards).

Great tip! How did you find out about this?

It keeps coming up as an ad on Facebook. It says for new customers, but I was able to use it. I was also able to use it from a second account.

Yeah, pretty much printed versions of the ones that come on actual limit straps.

that is a part that should never be 3D printed IMO! The strength isn't there.
Hot Racing, PowerHobby and Team KNK all offer limiting straps with metal ends.

Well, i stopped by my local screen printing place, where i get my work tshirts made. I had an idea rollin around the ol noggin for awhile now, n she helped me bring it around. As for now, ive got 3 being made up, as kind of a test run. I may change them up just a touch by puttin the big logo on the back, with my yt link under it. N on the front left, have indy bama rc. The logo will look just like the pic on a grey tshirt. Eventually i may get some longsleeve tees n maybe even hoodies done up.

Wat do yall think? I really like it, cant wait to see them done. She said i can pick them up next fri

I dig it. If you are going big, I think it would look great on the back with a mini on the front. Getting it screen printed is a good idea. Much preferred over a heat transfer

Indy, I think it looks rad. And you know someone means serious business in the game when you put your own brand out there!

My plates ordered are the first 5 on the bottom, courtesy of RC Plate Shop.

Thanks smog! Thanks goro! I was thinkin earlier, i may move the RC over in the corner, like a helper rock. But i think ill have the logo put on the back n do a smaller one on the front.

Id put RCC on there too, but i dont want to do that without permission first.

Yeah I think move the RC like you said, as that would square up the logo overall.

I have always had good luck with MSI products, but for the new Super make sure you get the new BIOS upgrade from their site. I read that they performed a bit under what was expected, and MSI then quickly fixed that with the new BIOS update. I see the one for your specific model already listed:

BIOS 95.03.45.80.07

2024-01-24 Release Date

Enjoy!

Looks like they sell MANY different versions, with different width and length straps, even some for the SCX6, and using different materials for the ends, including metal ones and carbon fiber infused ones. There's warranties on them, although they also vary in length(?)

I have a set of HotRacing aluminum end ones for my Bomber, don't think I have got around to installing them yet...

Thanks Durok for quoting the other posts as I didn't see them. You guys got the usual limiting straps confused with the ones I have. These look very alike, but Deez Shock Bandz are not actual limit straps (my fault for calling them that).

The straps I have are elastic, and play the role of keeping suspension in droop, especially on steep ascents. Same concept to using something like hair ties or rubber bands, but the aesthetic version. If he provided metal mount ends rather than printed, that'd be cool but it's not necessary.

Sweet thanks for letting me know about that! I will make sure I do that once it’s up and running. The computer still needs a few key parts to be built. So it’ll still be a few weeks.
