I dont buy them for the freespin alone, I find they last a ton longer than stockers.

Randy, Sunday I ran that set up I ran at the last Norco race with a few little changes. The car was friggin' dialed. I still ran a spool, had to have brakes on this little postage stamp of a layout, but it was fast. It transitioned awesome and had awesome turn in. I need to rebuild the front CVD's though. They're wearing pretty bad with that spool. I think I'm going to go to steel in the front to get a little more life out of them.

I may try that at the KO Race. I've got one set of steel CVD's but I'll have to hit you up when I need another. 
They seemed to give the car more front bite too when I put them on the last car.

for 2mm of droop on a ride height gauge about how many limeters do you want in the shock?
06-30-2004, 07:01 PM
I think I use two .010s in my front shocks. Its whatever the AE shock spacers are. Maybe its .030.

06-30-2004, 08:27 PM

Also can anyone tell me what shock shafts I need to get better ground clearance in the front and rear. I would like to keep the shock collars evened out on the rear. In stock form, I have to keep the rear collars threaded all the way down just to get my rear highth at 5mm.
One more question, I run on a dusty track and I was wondering if anyone uses shock socks? I have seen them for off road. I would like to use one so I don't have to rebuild them so often. Any input and a company that makes them for the XXX-S would help me much.
