RC4WD 70mm Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Sport Shock by ARB (2)

[m1009cucv]

nice looking shock. anything cheaper out there thats good?

[HCCrawler]

Yes, try e-bay under Tamiya CC01 Parts
These are other less expensive options.

[HCCrawler]

Check that go to E-Bay and type in R/C 70mm shocks or of you want larger R/C 80mm shocks. There are some choices there that are less than 34.00 a pair.

Shocks aren't the limiting factor in that chassis.
Fixing the steering, putting a better rear drive shaft, cv jointsup front, adding more rear droop, and better tires is a good place to start.

[Drakken]

There is really only three must do changes that need to be made to the chassis, Bearings, Remove the front brick and Tyre's. The tyres are shocking like beyond shocking

I want whatever suspension setup THIS guy has : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qf_orNM0_NQ

Looks like just possibly very soft springs with a heavy damper 'weight' to keep the chassis off the ground, I have no idea. What ever it is I want it too

Mmm Droop setup with soft springs?

[Killa-Cotton]

I watched all his videos and he's definitely running a rear 4-link set-up and what looks to be Tamiya's #54541 CC01 aluminum dampers. I run them on a couple of my rally cars and they're incredibly soft using the CC01's factory springs.

[Drakken]

Thank you, Think I'll wait though for someone else to give them a go before buying them myself, Already wasted money on dual rates which didnt work lol. Might sell them and give these ago, Can't be any worse than what I have now

[Drakken]

Have you got any video's of your CC01 running sorry have to ask, Doing my head in trying to find this setup

[Drakken]

That much on the front! Yeah off to buy a set now they look like exactly what I'm after. Thank you posting this

[Drakken]

I don't want to go to overboard as I like the stock look but I'll definatley look for a little bit more, Update will follow ;)

[Killa-Cotton]

When you're ready and feel comfortable with a dremel this is what you can do to the front arms and c-hubs. This will allow more steering and front suspension travel. CC01 arms and c-hubs are cheap so get an extra set and start cutting. You can do most of this with a good razor knife but it's much easier with a dremel. Take your time and you'll do fine.

[Drakken]

I'm going to order some spare parts and give this a go, All seems okay but C Hub Mod will it be okay strength wise after that much being remove, Guessing its been a million times before though so tried and tested.

There should be a sticky or something

[Killa-Cotton]

Yeah strength won't be a problem. You can eventually upgrade to the aluminum arms, c-hubs and knuckles. That will really soften things up. The best things about cc01's is they are easy to mod and durable as hell.

[Drakken]

That's what drew me into them originally, Plus fair few direct body replacements too, Really would like a Wrangler shell for it too, There just such a versatile little rig.

based on the jiggle in the rear end there is almost no oil in the rear shocks or 10w. (I run 3 drops of oil per shock)
A set of rear droop upper mounts help with articulation a lot too.
