Bought plenty of 12v 3 and 5mm LEDs to replace the stock ones on most of my rigs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice but cant help think the big 370 may be overkill it would for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use those just for crawling so I don't want any weight higher up. I take the Bronco out on the hills some times so the extra wheel speed may be beneficial. It still amuses me putting bigger motors in trucks, can't help it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyC Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I’ve got some INJORA shocks but not sure what ball joints go where and what the o rings are for. Could someone please post a picture so I can see what’s what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could someone please post a picture so I can see what’s what? The o-rings go on the top and bottom of the hollow balls. So slide one on to the base, attach the shock then slide on the other o-ring. You see that one of the hollow balls are larger than the others, one fits in the top of the shock and the other in the lower. Not sure which one without pulling one to bits. I don't always use the o-rings on the bottom of the shocks. They can become a little tight for my liking. Hope this helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steephill Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Took out the injora jeep out for some trail driving. I have the hobbywing esc in this and the injora esc is far better. The drag brake is fairly nonexistent and it's pretty lumpy low down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyC Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I’ve got 6 of each of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One will fit nicely in the aluminium top cap and the other will press into the rod end on the shock shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyC Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 The one on the left is slightly smaller and I’ve put this in the bottom of the shocks, as they’re slightly smaller than the tops, with o-rings. These just pushed in. Can’t get the other bits in the top though. Got them in the freezer at the moment to see if that helps! on another note, anyone used these? https://www.injora.com/products/injora-lcg-carbon-fiber-chassis-kit-frame-girder-for-1-18-trx4m does all the stock stuff fit on there nice?

steephill Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) @TommyC I have one of those chassis shown in the link. One of the hollow balls should push in to the top cap with very little force. I have a set of those shocks spare. I'll open them up and have a look. Edited April 25 by steephill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steephill Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) @TommyC yes, all the stock parts will fit that chassis 👍 Edited April 25 by steephill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones I’ve put in the bottom take very little force. If I try those ones in the top they fall out they’re so loose. just ordering one of those lcg chassis’ now along with some extended brass hubs and a light kit. Only want to bump an order up as I want one of their low profile servo’s for my tamiya. any excuse😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steephill Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 The top hollow balls have an o-ring each side. In the picture above it's the one on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
