Anyone else

I have never had any leaking problems until today...
my car was sideways at the end of the straight and was t- boned twice. A shock in the front and rear blew up. It was a huge oil leak...

That is a pretty cool feature!!
IMO,the problem with the plastic shocks,after a couple of runs,oil starts to seep VERY slowly from the plastic end- cap around the o-ring area.
The plastic shock bodies and end- caps don't hold tight enough together to compress the o-ring enough to stop the leakage.
When I switched to the aluminum bodies,the plastic end- caps held on tighter making a better seal for the o-ring stopping the leakage.

Heck, while we are on the subject of aluminum parts for the T2, can i get those plastic shock pieces in aluminum (the O-ring holder)?? It would LOOK so much better to have it in all aluminum. 
And has anyone found another source for the o-rings other than from XRAY? They are smaller than AE/Losi o-rings.
