DIY - E10 Dampers

HPI Racing 88054 

Adjustable Height Shock Set

Pic above is HPI's suspension upgrade for the E10. It difinitely looks awesome but I find it to be a bit bulky and a little hard to tweak.

My solution to this problem is to make my own by combining parts from the stock E10 suspension and from another aluminum shock from a generic brand. See below for my DIY tutorial. 

1. Here's the stock shock from the E10 and arrow points out exactly where to cut off. Be very careful when cutting.

2. Once the  ball end part is off use a Dremel with a cut off wheel to cut off excess shaft and to grind off to a flat surface.

3. After surface is flat. Drill a hole through from the ball end all the way through. Im sorry but forgot what size drill bit I used. Just match up the size of the drill bit to the shock shaft to get the diameter of the hole.

4. Here's the aluminum dampers I got on eBay for less than $10 a pair. Looks good and less bulky than the stock ones. The arrow is pointing to the area where you clamp down a Long Nosed Plier to hold the shaft in place. Get it as close as you can to the top thread as this will hinder the shock shaft travel a bit once you do this. This is not for the faint of heart, this why I'm using an inexpensive shock.

5. Once you clamp the plier down good, start screwing the ball end piece all the way down to the bottom of the thread. Don't forget to slip on the shock coils of your choosing.

6. Here's the final product and installed. It looks pretty good don't it...

E10 Aluminum Brake Rotor & Calipers

HET 103202

Red Aluminum 32mm Faux Brake Hex Adpters

Yeah Racing (#E10-134RD) Aluminum Brake Caliper Set (4pcs) 

Here are 2 upgrades that I truly love and improves the looks of any E10. All of my E10s have these and I love using these on Body Competitions due to the realistically of them. Pair them with a great set of wheels that highlights them and you got yourself a winning combo. 

These are not only for looks as the brake rotors are durable. I've had a few of the plastic ones broke on me meaning the tabs on the backside broke off and render the rotors useless. These will prevent that from happening unless you mercilessly abuse your E10.

The aluminum calipers are awesome and the best looking ones from any of the caliper upgrades. Hands down these are the best ones so far and I have not seen one yet that compares to it.

Below is a sample installed on one of my E10s.  As you can see it truly enhances the realism of the brake and rotor kits.

If you can't directly purchase these items on its respective sites then I suggest that you search for them on Google, or Amazon and Ebay which is where I usually get mines. As always please hit me up or comment below if you have any questions or suggestions for me.

BTW... I am not sponsored by Hot Racing,  Hobby Etc., Yeah Racing, or RC Mart. I just truly believe in these products.
