suspension

My XR as a few mods - Jet Pro pipe, 990 carb, 2 speed transmission and recently changed to HPI Tarmac Busters. The issue I am having, when accelerating, all 4 wheel experience hop. The car then gets hard to handle. I am looking for suggestions on where to start - shock oil which weight...

I have been kicking around the idea of installing aluminum suspension parts in place of the OEM plastic. I have broken a few steering knuckles and steering links. I am wondering how the aluminum holds up and weather other parts break instead now that the aluminum is used.

Broke one of stock suspension arm holders. Want to get aluminum replacement. Do i need to get 2 one for front and one for back of diff housing? Also does package come with the correct pins or do i have to order diffrent ones

I need to replace one of the Front lower suspension arms (50004). Wondering if I should upgrade to aluminum. I read, but cannot find the post, that someone recommended staying with plastic. Appreciate all comments.

I read through some posts to try and find my answer and never really did. So....i want to adjust the stiffness of the shocks on my redcat chimer. I am just not sure if i need new shocks or if i can increase stiffness with different shock oil. Im just starting to look into this so any tips will...

Anyone ever raise the suspension to the highest mounting points? Running the stock suspension but would like a little more ground clearence... pros and cons? Obviously a little more prone to rolling over, but would it actually be that much more dramatic?...

Can anyone tell me the part numbers for the front hub bearing?

I am an off road basher only. Can anyone advise if aluminum Suspension arms are a good or bad idea for my XB? I run a Gizmo RCMK 30.5 c full mod engine with a Jet Pro rear exhaust pipe. I have the original chassis, 7075 diferential housing (front and rear), 7075 C-hubs (front) and bearing...

well I broke one my upper arms in the rear just got my order today I installed on my mt now seems like there is a lot play in rear suspension I have everything hooked up right but still seems loose any suggestions or is this normal? I don't have that much play in front though .but back seems...

I broke my rear upper arm and all that is holding it is krazy glue and tie strip lol I have all 4 upper aluminum arms came with truck my question is if I was to put upper arms on and leave plastic on the lower ones would it make the plastic parts and lower arms weaker? or should I order another...

Does anyone make aluminum suspension arms for the Chimera? Took it out today and the son crashed. He is devastated. Thanks guys.

Hey Doug, well, the project is complete, Loved the chassis and the housing, they're perfectly built! you can check the thread with the latest pics. but there's always room for improvement :D 1 thing I noticed is that the car is very tough now, everything is being handled greatly. but while...

Just had Ol'fart make me some of these bushings out of a super strong plastic. They have taken great abuse and no real wear, so happy with this product. Could not stand the stock junk wearing out after a couple of bash sessions. He said they will be available when his new website is done...

What's going on everyone. Having fun just bashing and, again, I hit a curb. Only this time i hit at probably 3/4 throttle on the right front. I thought that I just broke the wheel at first but upon examination I discovered that the steering is stuck to the right. The servo still works but the...

So about 4weeks ago when I bought my Rampage MT I snapped the suspension and it bent the dogbone pretty badly so I finally got around to replacing the dogbone today and here is a pic of the nice damage to it.

today i hit a tree and it obliterated my suspension arm. how do i take off the metal bar that holds it on to replace it?

I can't stand the plastic suspension bushings on the x series cars. I wonder if Ol'fart can make them in aluminum or something stronger. Every time I run the car they are loose and has a lot of slop in suspension. I would actually like to see the suspension hangers with just a part bored out in...

The rear suspension of my DR is like a rock, no give. The front is doing all the work. Any suggestions on how to get the rear working, springs, shock fluid. Thanks.

Just started fitting nutechs, they are same exact length but springs are super close to control arm will take a little shimming:D
