Since your post follows mine should I assume it's me you mean? If so, what do you think I missed?

Obviously I read most of them since I agreed with the suggestions about leaving out pins or washers.

so hold off on these fellas. second time out with them, the front right insert cracked (was only running them in front). my suggestion would be that if you really want the stiffer inserts, pony up the dough for the HB's.

this usually happens on the front when the car takes a hit. up front i use the non-shielded spring perches and on the shock end i trim off the locking tabs so that the perches can rotate. this way when the perches lift even momentarily it can easily find its way back onto the eyelet. with locking tabs it's easier to get the perches dislocated.

for the rear i haven't encountered this problem so i use the shielded perches and leave the locking tabs on the eyelet.

I was just adding on to your statement, i should have quoted the prior post. Man there's a lot of touchy people in this thread.

No problem. Didn't mean to create the impression that I was mad at you or anything like that.

If you don't use the servo saver do you just use and aluminum horn? I have a losi 22 horn I can use. Do I need to use the losi ball stud or the hot bodies ball stud for the servo link?

I had the same issues with my stock cups. I used the guard style and the low style, both fell off. Next step I tried was drilling a small hole in the cup and zip tying the spring to the cup. Worked but annoying to change springs.

I finally just switched to B5 ends and cups and have not had a problem since. And all the slop is removed.

Love the car, has been working great.

Same here except I went with Kyosho ends and cups since I run an RB6 for my 2wd. Still pop them off but not nearly as frequently.

I use HB ball caps with HB ball stud. I try to use the kyosho ball caps on the HB
ball stud and its tight..

Why doesn't Exotek make shock caps they make pretty good products and the demand is there?

What are you guys using to mount your esc's? I've tried my usual Kyosho gel mounting tape and servo tape. The Kyosho tape wouldn't stick to the chassis and the servo tape eventually slides my esc forward. Thanks for any advice!

Home Depot, 3M mounting tape with the 20lb holding weight. Double it up though for shock obsorbtion, it's pretty thin compared to the gel type.
