Tweaking the Rockslide: Shock Tweaks, Radio Swap & Small Mods
In this second round of Rockslide upgrades, I’m just doing some small tweaks to dial the truck in a bit more. I refilled the shocks with 60wt rear / 80wt front since they were a little underfilled from the factory, and flipping them upside down helped keep the center of gravity lower. I also swapped over to an RC4GS + R7FG combo since I’m more familiar with it and wanted proper end-point adjustments — the stock radio isn’t bad, so it’ll get used on another build. Added some green whip lights to the bed area just for looks, tried out metal diff and skid armor, and kept only the skid since the diff armor caught on everything. I also experimented with moving the steering link down on the servo horn for a bit more angle, but eventually moved it back. Nothing crazy here — just simple garage tinkering that makes the Rockslide a little more predictable and enjoyable on the rocks. Taller receiver box: https://ckrcgarage.com/products/yikon...
