Buy the Team Associated V2 shock tool #7494. It is the cheapest most useful tool you'll ever own, for $3.99 you can't go wrong. For the ball-cups just use the end for 1/4" nuts and just slide it under the ball cup and twist or pry up. This does a great job of keeping ball cups looking nice.

The opening in the middle of this tool also keys into the slot on the bottom of the V2 shock bodies. Also useful for sliding into the outdrive slots when rebuilding a diff. Handy for tightening shock bushings, and more. Great little tool!!

Where is everyone placing it?

Thanks,
Kevin

Under shock tower in front of diff. Top of ballast pointing forward. Fits in there just perfect. No goo or tape needed.

Just built and installed a new GEAR diff for my SC10.

Do I need to break it in? If so how do I go about doing that?

Just realized you wrote gear diff....never mind. No break in for gear diff.

With a gear diff theres nothing to break in just check for leaks if no leaks your good to go

Cool thanks Jbone and Mel for the replies.

Here Nightjus:

How much ballast (weight) are you guys running on your SC10s?

This question was asked just the other day on page #647 of this thread

check out associated part number 7488 and use double sided tape if you choose to install

I have battery forward with 2oz in the back of battery tray under the foam, 1/4oz in each rear triangle and 1/2oz in front of shock tower on front bumper.
When track is wet I will remove 1 from rear foam.


is that post # ?

I'm having noise issues with both b4.1 and sc10 I have just startedd running both vehicles for a month or so and the tranny is n good working order but it has become loud. Is still performs well and I habe also made sure that me gear mesh is set properly but I still have a loud sound. The b4 screams down the straight and u can also hearit when I'm coasting thru rythum sections off pwr. Please help I like silent cars

i have searched this forum maybe i just such at searches but mine are brand new followed the instructions to a T and they are leaking. Seems the O ring on top is a little larger than it needs to be cause when i tighten down on the top dealio it seems to squueze the oring out the sides of the housing on top. How do i fix this buy a smaller oring? Can anyone post pics on what they did? Sorry im just a pic kinda guy.

Is it more of a click, or a squeal, or a vibration?
