What motor do you run? can you post a link so I can see it? It looks very strong and for half the price I might be willing to try one.

Thanks for your words DRKWNG ... the engine its a STS .21 Team Edition (green head), you can buy it easily at www.racernine.com (my engine sponsor), write them an email (Ryan) and tell them you were invited to buy from them by PatoConcha ok ? ...

After the diff cover is replaced and everything is tightened up, the actual oil level will be right at or slightly above the cross pins, depending on what diffs you're filling. I always fill it all the way up and "bleed" it, just for peace of mind.

Leaking Shocks
I have a question for you guys.
I have a X1-CR Malang Edition which i don't think you guys got in the US but it has the milled out chassis but no big bore shocks.
I am updating it to a Team Edition Specs and have added the Big Bore Shocks and Cradock Anti-Lock Brake Discs.
I've pulled my Big Bore Shocks off my CRT and have a new set to build too but one keeps leaking.
Would you say the seals are shagged as they haven't had much use since new?
I will build my new set anyway but just wondering as it is only one shock that seems to leak oil.
I never had this problem with the previous shocks, they were awesome.
Also the shock kits come with long and short plastic shock ends.
Which are the better ones to use for the buggy?
I was told to use the long ones on the rear and the short ones on the front.
Thanks guys.

Have you tried rebuilding the leaky shock? If not give it a try, I will bet it will solve the problem.
"I was told to use the long ones on the rear and the short ones on the front."
You were told correct!

- Big Bore Shocks w- red springs
- Captured Hinge Pins
- Upper and lower Alloy B Blocks
- 2 degree antisquat Plate
- one piece motor mount
hmmm by the time you buy all those bits you may be better off selling your Pro Kit and buying a FT....
also the new alloy offset brake diff mount and rear Alloy uprights look good.

This question would be more appropriate here:
