The mini CVA shocks come with two different hard plastic spacers on the tree that work well.

Like Steve said, I think Steve and I have the same setup. Steve you run different oil right.
black plastic CVA shocks
56mm height shocks
2 hole piston
kit supplied oil
red rear, blue front springs
I run the 1mm spring clip on the front, 3mm in the rear
Swift 60D treaded tires 50683
Grey inserts 53255
black plastic CVA shocks
56mm height shocks
2 hole piston
kit supplied oil
red rear, blue front springs
I run the 1mm spring clip on the front, 3mm in the rear

OK--this is probably about a stupid question/problem, but here goes. I haven't used a stick pack in almost twenty years. So, stupid me figures a stick pack is a stick pack, right? I just received a couple Racer's Edge 3600 packs and guess what...they don't fit in my MO4...not even close. It's about 1/4" too long. The ends of the pack are capped w/plastic caps, and the "wire end" cap can be compressed a bit (MAYBE 1/8")...what to do?
I had sure hoped to run the car(s) this weekend at our race.
**edit**
I happened to think I had an older stick pack in the basement that came with my TXT I bought a couple years ago. It's a Duratrax 1500 pack and it fits like a dream. I know cells have gotten a BIT longer, but I'd never realized they'd gained .1" or so. I also see by the rules that these more recent cells are TCS legal:
1) how do I get 'em to fit within the rules, or
2) what seems to be the cut-off, mah-wise, before the cells grew too big? 3300? 3000?
Thanks,
Scottrik

I'm using whatever oil came with the CVA shocks. My setup is the same except I'm running HPI X-Pattern tires and/or RP30 and RP36.

The plastic CVA shocks may be plastic but they seem to work extremely well and for $12 a pair it's hard to go wrong.
