yessir..should i not push the shaft all the way in? ive never had this problem before

dumb questions...

You do have the bleeder caps right?
what weight oil are you using?

yes bleeder caps and 30wt....ive done this before and never had this problem

after bleeding the shocks, I vigorously pump the shaft in and out (that's what she said) , this mixes the air and oil and gives the best feel.

Back in the day we referred to that feel as, 'consistently sucky'. Still works great... haha

Best tip I can give on building your shocks to avoid these problems is to use the green slime Works great with my shocks and they absolutely do NOT bleed on me evuh!! XD

I still have the older shocks on my B4 and have no problems with them.. The V2 shocks on my T4 are definitely a whole lot easier to maintain and work on though

New truck/buggy bodies are coming in tomorrow Time to get a new paint scheme for the upcoming (but ironically 1/3rd done) 2011 season I might find some time to paint them this week so you'll all get a chance to see my awesome(ly terrible) painting skills!!

Hey, I know most everyone uses the velcro to keep their B4 bodies down but how many of you guys use velcro on the T4 bodies? I'm finally getting tired of using my body clips (though it took me about... 10 years )

I been using velcro on my T4 and B4 bodies since the day I got them...I have had occasional problems with the T4 landing upside down or hitting the wrong way, and the body will come part of the way off.So I started using body clips during racing, but in practice I always just run the velcro.

hey guys what are the main differences between a T 4.1 and a factory team T 4?

If you go back to page one of this thread (just hit the first button) you can see the start of the whole conversation of what was new Are you looking at buying one of them or are you thinking of upgrading?

Main differences???

Newly designed crappy plastic that has slop in it by the end of your first run.
New V2 shocks.
New V2 slipper clutch design.
New rear hubs.


Im sure i'm forgetting something but these are the main differences.

you forgot about the ugly 'hi flow' body that comes with it

So true...I would kinda like to see something like a low set body for a truck...I liked the older illuzion from jconcepts.

+1 I have one that I still use for practicing and I bought a second that should be arriving tomorrow. It sucks that you can't hardly find them anywhere... It's lame that instead of finding bodies that look cool they're making new ST bodies like the Bulldog and Punisher bodies... -.-

+1 I cringe every time I see one of the cab-foward designed bodies...ugh.
