I am in the same dilemma. We are running clay slicks. And I also feel like the car is diffing out. Part my my issue is roll though. I think the car rolling over far. And some of my wheels are leaving the ground. I am thinking about removing some of the droop and going to the black rear sway. I have not really gone beyond the 100k center fluid because I worry about over stressing the spur gear. I can feel it slip getting on the power going straight, and i am sure that 300k would lock it in more. I just dont feel like the hard launching forward bite will be useful. I can blip it over our triple that has a short run up.

I am running 7k front, 100k center 3k rear in my diffs, high bite smooth wet dirt indoors. Super soft tires shaved to slicks with closed cell foam inserts. Having trouble diffing out coming onto straight after sweeper. Was thinking about going to 300k in center and 10k rear. Would like to leave front alone, car has good steering, but not putting the power down. 5.5t Tekin Gen2 motor. I know my info is all over the place but wanted to make sure I covered the vitals...

Will going up on my front diff fluid give me less steering off throttle? I could use a little less, on a decreasing radius corner, off power, I seem to have a little more steering than I would like. If this would "numb" the last third of the steering that would help solve a few problems

i started building my kit last night and was using the b5 shock caps and they are definitely not an exact fit, they go on and work but you really have to push hard, Im assuming the thread pitch is different or something, did anyone else experience this?

i did not have to push b5 on to start threading. it did not thread all the way down shut. i used some durango shock cap o-rings to help seal it. but im not sure its needed.

Shocks with no rebound
Hi guys.
HOW !!!! Do i build my shocks with zero rebound ? I just cant make it work. When i push the shock shaft all the way up, everything´s fine until i tighten the cap, then it slowly start to move out. No air is inside, and i did ream the bleed hole so the excess oil could escape. It´s when i do the last cap tightening the shaft pops out to about 50% rebound.
Please help me with some advise on how to make zero rebound shocks on my D413 - Thanks

Yes, going up will numb steering going in and give you more on power and exit steering. I wouldnt use dif fluids for steering characteristics, that can be controlled via, roll centers , camber,castor and toe. raising will give you less off power but toe out will take care of that since your only off power going into a turn.

Much easier to go zero with bladders and also keep in mind that no matter how you do it unless you are vented bladder your always going to have at least a little amount of rebound. A mistake that some people make when doing zero rebound emulsion is realizing that you must have air in the system for it to work properly , if you are building your emulsion shock with no air as soon as you start to build up heat or temps go up so will your rebound.
With that being said here is my technique:
- fill shock to the rim with shaft pulled all the way down
- let them sit for a few minutes
- remove bleed screw from the cap
- with the shock upright put the cap on all the way
- now lay the shock down at approximately 45* with the bleed hole facing upwards
- slowly push the shaft all the way up
- at this point you really should not have any oil coming out, if you do you have too much oil in the shock
- tighten down the bleed screw
- cycle the shaft about a dozen times and then push all the way up
- now open up the bleed screw and some pressure will be relieved
- tighten down the bleed screw again and you should be done.
