Ok guys found a point if inspection you may want to pay attention to. I destroyed the pin on the right side cv axle tonight. I was running third in a very competitive main and ended up fifth after losing the pin with two minutes to go. Had to limp it in on three wheel drive.
By no means am I saying this is a weak point on the car. I have a lot of time on my chassis and just happened to blow one out. It happens. You may want to take a close look at the cv pins when you tear down for cleaning.

Another dumb question on the alum shock set, does the large o-ring really go under the preload adjuster?

So it goes in the ring groove like a rubber grip between the knurling?

The O-ring needs to go in the adjust ring.

Call me blind, but I don't see it in the assembled view in that image.
Nor do I see it on the pictures on the first page on this thread:

I guess it is just something optional if it goes between the knurling.

That clears it up, it in on the inside of the ring.

I must have scrolled past it when I was scanning the page, oh well.

They may help.
I need a new set of fingers though, I forgot how much a PIA it is threading ball cups were.
I still need to notch the upper deck to fit the mount and figure out what power plant I want. I'm thinking either a 25.5 setup or a 17.5. I guess I could order another and do both.

So Further to our discussion about heat. I pulled the motor out and cleaned it and re shimmed it properly,
Removed the Timing ring and re geared the car 4.84
1st Qual 5min Came in at 100 Degrees F TQ time as well
2nd Qual Handed it over to a Noob who was there to watch and I watched the car for how it was pitching around the track.
That time came in at 90 F
10 min A Main - After looking at the time sheets My Car was slower than the fastest guys but having TQ meant I ran exceptionally clean in the first run
I ended up Winning that race and the Motor only got to 120F
So not that the motor is working good again I will start upping the Gearing to see where the limit is

FYI my motor was running at 160 no timing and a 85 degree ambient air temp when I was running a 4.0 FDR. If you are going to get to the 4.0 invest in a cooling fan. I use the dual cooling fan (in pink ) from 3racing. I can run a 3.7 on full timing and only get to 120.

Here's a pic of the fan. It cools great and fits very well. Its not that expensive either. Cheap insurance to protect the motor.
