change the fluid in the aluminum tubes after every 3 heats (1 days worth of racing) ....no binding when dry or lubed. i must be soooo lucky to have the ONLY other perfect set ever made.
since i started racing asphalt 12th two weeks ago, that chassis is on the verge of getting changed (front end damage). clipped a dot and flew 15 feet. just used a machinists ruler to visually check them out, didn't notice anything bent, etc. i will check the plates again on another flat surface when off the car.
