Yeah... shock ends to match my shocks...lol.. ......and whats an "X-Factor 4"...???


BIlly @ Bandit R/C Products

Tony, I will post 3D pics later today. Tony send me a e-mail.

Also the shocks didn't change part numbers. All the new stuff from here on out will have the updated nut.


The X-Factor 4 is a new Oval chassis Daryl mainly and I have been working on. I have 4 top drivers testing it out now.

Are the bushings in the new nut an item that will wear out? If so can they be bought separately?

Oh please spill the beans on this new X-Factor 4. It seems that there are going to be a couple new oval cars or updates coming onto the market at the same time and all info would be very helpful in making a decision.

Thanks and keep the new products coming.

Can you please post SILVA CONCEPT website link here so we go directly to it?

Guys, Duane has been up 24/7 trying to get new things going. The old shocks are awsome, but with the addition of the support bushing, he made the shocks even better. Its unbelivable how well they work, and how little piston scuff you get.
Watch out, Silva has some awsome things coming in the future.

Havent seen pics of the new car on there, but theres their site
Dave

Thought that was what i thought it was.... Are a couple drivers initials GH and BZ?..


Billy

The nut and the bushing come together as a update. I will sell the bushing seperate also. It will take allot for the bushing to wear out.

The X-FACTOR is being tested allot right now. I will not let out who will be running it until all is said and done but, there will be some heavy hitter running it this coming season.

D & D silva

This coming season? the season is almost over,LOL asphalt is for racing, carpet is for walking on.

"Carpet is for racing, ashphalt is for getting there". LOL, just kidding Pepe!!!:thumbsup:

So when will the updated T-plate be available? The one that is on the website? Or is it already out?


Thanks!

Not sure what other t-plate yo guys are talking about, but there are three that are out. The Thin, med, and thick. Then there is the same, thin, med, thick, but in the non rear-steer versions.

Here is a pic of the new parts. As you can see there is a bushing instead of the white washer. The black shaft and end cap are the new parts and the red cap is from a Hyperdrive kit.

They look great! I think I will send out my order rigth away, because my P.O.S. stock shocks keep blowing and getting shock oil all over the place!

LOL

yes they will. All the new kits that I sent to IRS has them.



Duane

So whats the scoop on this new car of yours? Is it like an L4 on steroids or a completely different design?

We ran the new shock on Saturday and let me tell you...................

These things are plain awesome. Very smooth and they stayed that way all day long. Because there was little to no piston scuffing the car seemed like it turned in better and was smoother through the corners. With the o-ring seal the shocks never leaked a bit and stayed glass smooth the whole day. I would say that you could go several weekends with out a rebuild. The Silva HPS shocks were almost as smooth as the HPI center shock. That is hard to do so big props to the Silva boyz for updating an already outstanding product. You guys need to get some of these shocks cause they are just plain awesome!

Alright! That's it, I am ordering mine today! My stock shocks are junk and leak like crazy!

LoL
Thanks!

I am not sure if the new shocks will include the o-ring seal but if they do not here is the part number:

SC126 HPS Shock Nut O-ring

Bleeding these is a bit tricky if you use the o-ring. Just take your time and bleed it like you do an HPI shock. Get your rebound the same for both shocks and then go race all day. With the new bushing I think the shocks stay pressurized longer which should make them last longer in between rebuilds.

Hey D & D!

I just ordered my Silva Concept blue HPS shock kit (SC128). Will it be coming with the blue shock bodies, and shock caps? I am just wondering, because on your website (www.silvaconcepts.com (http://www.silvaconcepts.com/)) and the IRS website (www.teamirsrc.com (http://www.teamirsrc.com/)) there are no pictures of the HPS shock kits. :confused:

Alrighty, guess that's all for now!:thumbsup:

Thanks!

Tony thanks for the good words. Also keep us posted on the life you are getting out of them between rebuilds.

Justin, thanks for the support!


More news on the X-FACTOR 4,
The chassis kit will be based on the L4, There are many new things on the car to help out with the performance. Most of all the parts will be inter changable to the L4.

I am working on a new website and I will have more news up very soon.


D & D Silva

Awsome! So basically this will be a conversion kit for L4O? Hope there will be pics and such available soon, because I am looking for a chassis upgrade, and the X-factor might be the next buy when it is released!

So my HPS shock kit will be completely blue? LOL, Just wondering, because my car is all blue, want them to match, lol. Here's a pic of my Sylva Concept hop-up car:

Nice looking ride.
I like all the blue, bling bling factor going on for sure.

LoL, thanks Erock, I spent a lot of $$ and time into it, but the main thing is that it handles just as good as it looks, but the new Sylva HPS shocks would help a tad more, as my stock ones are starting to have better days!

Thanks!

Yep I got to run those new Shocks and there feel sweet on the track. Made the car really smooth in the corners!

Brooks

I just tried to orders the SC138 updated nuts from RC4less, but Bruce said his distributors do'nt have them yet. Where can I get some?

Did you try Dave at IRS? www.teamirsrc.com.


Zig

Thanks, I will give them a try.

In a earlier post D Silva said he would post release date.

Irrgang, got them in yesterday, will have mine next week. Thanks for the help.

No problem, glad you found them.


Zig

I just got done running the new shocks this weekend out here at the Velodrome nats and they worked well. I TQ'd, set a new track record and won the A main with them. What was more amazeing was running a lap of 10.9 sec which is 69mph with a 4 cell mod car! The new updates are killer!

-Monti-

This may be a dumb question but do you use the new bushing in addition to all the existing parts or does the new bushing replace the flat white washer on top of the o-ring?

Thanks
RC

RC the bushing replaces the falt white washer in the shock.

-Monti-

Thanks Monti - That's what I thought but I wanted to make sure.
