Monster truck upgrades

I’ve finally got my truck back together in working order. I also made a few upgrades to it as well as I wasn’t really happy with the way it was handling. My battery was also starting to die as it wouldn’t charge up to capacity and wouldn’t last very long.

I found a great deal on a 8.4v 1000mah lipo so I purchased one for mine to test it out. I ended up putting deans ultra plugs on it and my ESC as the original connectors were different. After testing it out I also purchased another one for Cygens truck, but it’s not here yet. To go with the lipo I ordered a couple of Low Voltage Buzzer Alarms to use in conjunction with the lipo batteries as to not damage them.

I went through the truck and changed out one of the rear axle shafts that was bent. The shocks that I have on it were pretty much a joke, the springs were too hard and although they were oil shocks (at least for a minute or two, until the oil all leaked out) they just weren’t right. I cleaned out the remaining oil, and used some “jade jizz” grease to coat the inside of the shock for some dampening. The “Jade Jizz” is a mini-z dampening grease to that should help me right?? I also changed the springs out to some softer ones I had. Anyway it seems to handle a lot better, I guess we’ll see tomorrow.

I also need to look at how Luke did his sway bars, I was thinking about doing that as well. His truck just seems to handle much better than the others. Frustrated
