M2C racing ZRS Shock cap kit Issues...

[Uplift-RC]

Yesterday when I was bashing w/ a set of your M2C Shock Tower Standoffs - the right rear backed out on me and ripped the entire top pcs off the - ZRS Shock cap as you can see in attachments 2 & 3 after ripping a double and landing on all 4's, my ZRC shock cap totally got ripped off the entire shock..

You mean like this.

I did this just shy of a year ago... I’ve also torn a couple not completely off, but enough to leak.

Been a handful of issues lately... they have also been very difficult to get installed without leaks in the first place...

That sucks that happened bro! There is a V2 standoff that is being tested now that is a 4140 steel and you will red thread lock your own stud to ensure nothing comes loose.Also just a heads up the ZRS caps won't fit the V5's properly as Arrma changed the threads on the top of the shock body

What steering, and camber turn buckles are those?

Shock cap needs to be made more thick.

Well that wasn’t a very nice sneak in by arrma lol. Good to know tho! Thanks brother Eric! @RC DUDE81

Thanks brother for the comment!!! I think I am just going to go back to my stock ARRMA ones that came on my #v3 #KRATON.
1st, I am going to make sure none of the parts inside of the shocks are damaged and then I am going to rebuild them and just put on my old caps..
Has anyone tired these before or will these probably end up leaking as well #ARRMAFAMILY?

 

[SentFlying]

Those are next on my list. Lot cheaper and do the same thing? Wouldn't care if those cheapos break.

Correct.. a bit thicker in that top land section would do the trick.. hopefully Mitch will start doing that at some point..

Agreed then they would be M2c/ Arrma tough. Lol

I have a set of these, and honestly... I’m gonna get hated on for this but ... they seem to better than the ZRS They even feel more plush... I used a set of @Basherqueen shock bodies for mine.. they look great

hr has some really shotty products, but I’d rate these on par with there really good products like their bulkheads

I reached out to Mitch about the issue with the shock caps over a month ago. He did contact me, but the issue wasn't known at the time. I guess I'm stuck with a set of messed up V5 shocks that leak!

Edit: Just got an email from m2c, they're going to fix the issue!

M2C will be ones again standing behind there products !

Now that makes it worth the coin

You got a better response than me, when I called Mitch last year when this happened to me, he said “It happens...”

he did however make them available in pairs, instead of a set like I asked.

 

[Rcproponent]

Soooo, how did the threads on the shock bodies change and the shock caps stay the same ??? All the shock caps I see say that they are 330491.. @RC DUDE81 , where did you hear that the threads had changed??

When I had a problem with one of his products being manufactured wrong, which was only discovered after I deanodized the part, this is all I got from them............

"You do know that taking the anodizing off voids the warrentee.
It also took off .002 of material
When you took 9ff the anodizing causing the bearing not to fit properly."

When .002 becomes an issue in anything rc related I am going to need a whole new set of tools

I've never had any issues with bearings not fitting after deanodizing other diff cups
Either way the diff cup was made wrong anyway.
Hole is off center and out of round..... but whatever I'll just buy diff cups from someone else if he is going to be that way, plenty of other diff cups out there so.
