Any Carbon Fiber plate chassis should be sanded on the edges and sealed with CA glue. You do this for a couple reasons. One is to keep it from splintering from any impacts. Also, CF is highly conductive. If you allow the ends of your cells to touch raw, un-sealed graphite, it will short out your battery.

Thanks guys, that's what I wanted to hear... no more slop
For those using the Tamiya shocks, has anyone else switched to the black O-ring, over the clear ones? And do you also find that the "teflon?" washer that extends out of the botton of the shock, where the shaft slides through, tends to open up a bit. After a race day, the oil in the body is still fairly clean, but the shafts are"wet" and atract dirt. Just curious how often, or when you guys put in new seals and o-rings (the "kit" from Tamiya @ Speedtech is under 5 bucks). Thanks

The only time I've seen the seals at the bottom of the TRF shocks do that is when the shocks aren't perfectly upright (front to back, not angled side to side.) they tend to wear a little. But mine have been fine for 6 months now with no problems.

I got the black ones but my shocks dont leak at all. Thats odd. I will usually get some tire dust on the bottom of the shafts but they are dry.
