The motor rotation would slightly affect this pitch, but is negligible compared to the tires/wheels.

Totally necessarily. When I ran the Dex, you can swap the gearbox back and forth to either have the motor run forward, or backwards. On-throttle, one way torques the chassis towards the rear of the car putting more pressure on the rear tires (on power push), while rotating the motor the other way torques the chassis towards the front tires (on power steering). So not even talking about changing pitch in the air... on the ground, the car drove completely different.

shock shaft size

Missing two e-clips for securing piston on the shock shaft. What size is the e-clip? I meant to put it in my pocket this morning, forgot it. Would like to buy a few on the way home this afternoon. Thanks!

shock build

Built 2 shocks last nite. I know that isn't much in one night but my carpal tunnel is really acting up. Surgery in almost a month. Back to question. When i pull the shaft out (shock extended) and turn loose of one it wants to recede back up into the shock body(not far but some), the other one does not. Which one has the air trapped in it?

It will stay in place after your done pumping. Make sure you clean the excess silicone oil off your shaft after you're done since it will make handling the nuts more difficult. shock mounting nuts that is...

I have only used ball diffs, but wanted to play with gear diff on some high bite tracks, what diff oil would give me the closest feeling of a ball diff?
