cool! because I have the novorossi P5XLT and I have loads of bottom end to deal with my last race I did smooth the throttle curve on my radio because too much power! so that why I was interested to tweak the clutch on a track condition! so I'm going to buy one today! is the steel better than Aluminium? or same?

Jonathan Maxey put me on to the M2C and I know he runs both types.. I have a heavy and not so smooth trigger pull so the extra weight of the steel was a no brainer for me. Im running it empty (depending on the engine) and even empty it really tamed the snap down... I think they are both equally good. Just depends on how the bottom end/track conditions/trigger finger is....

really depends on your throttle finger, engine and track. but the steel is really hard to beat with these how powered engines. if you are wanting a smoother engine, steel is perfect. it puts the power to the ground and increased fuel economy for me. but i do run aluminum hear and there just depends on engine and track but the steel is used most

also M2C offers both in 3 or 4 shoe system, personally i prefer 4 shoe but there is alot that prefer the 3 because it helps smooth it more. i run the 3 shoe on LOW bite tracks.

Quick question about building thd rear shocks - my shafts seem too long when set as per the manual the pistons come right up and hit the bladder in the cap. Is this right?
Cheers

Husk at du må bruke JQ sine shims da frode :-) Det er endel forskjell med Losi og uten Losi. Kjennes nesten ut som du må bruke tykkere olje med Losi oringene..

Can anyone tell me the specs of the 'O' ring on the shock adjuster? And is it possible to get the tank lid seal without buying the whole lid?
Thank You
Brian
