Episode Details

If you want to upgrade your front end suspension on your Tamiya ORV (Off-Road Vehicle) chassis R/C model car, buggy, or truck like the Subaru BRAT, the Lancia 037 Rally, or the Frogfrom a horizontal spring and plungers damper to full oil-filled shocks you have many options from Parma to CRP (Custom Racing Products) to RC Channel to Tamiya. We spring into action and compare and contrast all these options in this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast. 

[NOTE: While this hop-up option is a popular choice, we at the RC Deep Dive podcast feel that adding dual vertical shocks to either the Frog or HotShot takes away the soul of those radio controlled buggies from Tamiya. However we wanted to provide you with a HOW-TO in case it's a modification you covet for your R/C buggy.]
