Typhon Need advice

Hello to my Arrma friends.. I am having a little issue..
I upgraded my front tower with a M2c racing tower and my front shocks will not come back up when i push down on the front end.. im not sure if something is to tight.. I kinda think it is a shock issue because the new back tower is just fine..

Maybe a shock rebuild is in order...

I'd suggest to remove the shocks first, check for upper hinge pin to tight or lower hinge pin bent.

Since you just upgraded the front shock tower my .02 cents thinks your upper pins are too tight.

The arms should move freely.

I have had this problem and it was attributed to bent lower hinge pins..

If thats the case just remove and pound them straight with a hammer and block of wood.

While the shocks are off, check them individually, look for bent shafts. Good luck!

Bent lower and upper hinge pins, screws too tight, pivot balls too tight, I see rust, debris might be the problem ETC.


Time for a whole front end break down and cleaning.

It's also possible the shocks might need to be bled. If they have air in them it can basically freeze the shocks making it very hard to move.
