With the Jconcepts blue rear hex's did you guys take the blue spacer off the rear? I have the spacer and the hex on currently and I can see some of the pin so im thinking that the spacer should come off.

Yep, like Brent said, the spacers come off. The instructions that came with my adapters said to remove them, and they seem to work just fine

I think you might have the o-rings swapped. If you use the o-ring that goes in the threaded preload nut (on the outside of the shock body) for the cap dealio, it will squeeze out of the cap as you describe.

+1 I bet this is what happened as well. When I was assembling my FT SC10 shocks, I almost did this... but I luckily caught it at the last minute. But, it's an easy mistake to make

Default weight

When going off a team drivers setup and they are running big mod motors and such as 7.5 for example, if I'm running just stock should bi use the same amount of weight they are useing such as 3oz with the batt foam or should I scale down? Help needed

Does anyone play with roll center on the rear? If so did it help?

I currently have two washers on the front and two in the rear.

I'm looking to get more rear traction on turns. Already got .5 hubs.

TIA

Hmm, I have no experience with the b4, but sounds like a transmission issue like a broken tooth or something. Have you checked all your gears?

When my sc10 was clicking and I couldn't' figure out what it was, it turned out to be the dog bone slipping out of the hub just far enough to cause it to hit the opening of the hub with a loud "click" then slip off and keep spinning the wheel. It took me while to figure it out since it only happened to the inside wheel on fast inside turn with lots of grip.

It shouldn't make a difference if your running a 7.5T or a 17.5T motor. The weight on the different motors is quite similiar as far as I am concerned, the stators are just different turns, everything else is the same. I have a 10.5T motor and run near 3oz. of weight in my battery foam, and it works perfect.
