Damn, where do you come up with these ideas lolRCDAD said:Use a small socket on the bottom. Big enough to go around the ball. The channel locks will push the ball into the socket.
LOL yeah I had to edit it haha, my phone automatically takes pics in 1080p so they are extremely hugeRCDAD said:Holy crap! That pic is a big file!
That's how it do it with the press so I don't damage the shock end.Stygian said:Damn, where do you come up with these ideas lol
Nice, in the picture I posted is it going to damage the front bearing holder with it mounted like that until I can get the 7075s ordered?RCDAD said:That's how it do it with the press so I don't damage the shock end.
Well I don't know how you did it but this method did not work and won't work for me. But I think I'm just done with Redcat all together just too many issues and bs to go through its taken me all weekend just to replace shocks and suspension arms and I'm still not done with the shocks do to red cats poor design. I have read other forums on other makes like hpi and losi and they don't have half of these issues just my two cents and to top it off the screw that's stripped on the front top plate is stuck and I can't find a way to get the screw out tried everythingDreggsta said:as for the channel locks size, mine are huge too. you can do it. using a socket is a good idea too. you will find that trick useful for many things, don't forget it. per the pic, mine are at that crazy angle too. it tripped me out at 1st too lol. it's just how they are made to fit. it works. i have had no issues w/itor the design.
Don't have a case grip and to be honest that's just too much trouble spent $200 on tools alone just for this project which makes me really unhappyRCDAD said:On the bottom you can also swap the whole shock end. Use a vise grip on the shaft and twist off the shock end.
i feel ya. just know that the stuff your learning now you will need to know no matter what you get. all day to do like 5 to 15 minute jobs? how are you doing things? what kinda tools you using?Stygian said:Well I don't know how you did it but this method did not work and won't work for me.

a lot of these tools you should already have IMO. if you don't, going to get these will help you have them when you need them down the road. my 2 cents.Stygian said:Don't have a case grip and to be honest that's just too much trouble spent $200 on tools alone just for this project which makes me really unhappySent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
is there a way to like this? lolRCDAD said:We all get frustrated. Take a break, have a cool one, and don't let it get to ya. Remember you are doing a custom mod. Those shocks are for a different platform so they are not a direct replacement. It would be like installing Losi shocks on the Baja. It can be done, but can be more of a project.
The better the tools the easier the job.
Would you mind making me a list of recommended tools that I should pick up to make my life easier with these things LOL.RCDAD said:We all get frustrated.
