I run on a small to med size indoor track that has a little clay my set up is this fr,55 27.5 red springs 3mm limiting middle top and bottom 25 and 5 c/l is in 1 w/2mm and none on caster block alum bulk head and brass kick shim, short batt w/ alum batt brace all the way forward rr, 55 25 unscrewed 3 turns mid on top out on arm white springs 1d w/2 mm under both ball studs trans raised 1 mm and for tires ive tried pink bk rr pink taper fr and pink tapers all around and green jcons barcodes v1 and v2 rips and barcodes on fr it seems no matter what tire combo i run it drives the same it has more rear traction than all of the rest of my friends 22's thanks for the help .
and no bladders
and no bladdersDoes your car do everything else ok? How much rear toe? Anti-squat? Does your car jump fairly level or does it take a method to jump level or easily done? and any weight added?

Elumsion (no bladder) has been prefered on the offroad side as it tends to make the car land better off jumps and handle the rough stuff a little better. We are finding the bladders are a little soft on the 22 shocks and as a result on hard landings the bladder gives and lets the oil move as a slug up a little in the shock which takes away some of the pack in the early stages of the shock. In onroad since you don't typically see the high impact loads on the shocks the bladder shocks work really well as they can be made to be very consistant with no air in the shocks and the bladder compensation. We are finding in the 10th scale shocks they tend to work better emulsion style for offroad due to the improved landing characteristics and better bump handling.

thank you very much for sharing this info to me! Once I get my 22 running I will definitely be trying this shock setup after the bladder setup..
does anyone use the emulsion setup on short course trucks? I was wondering if this would help handling on SC's too?

We have been running elmusion style with the SCTE for a while now. The alum upgrade shock caps come with a bleeder hole like on the 22 alum shock caps now.

Can someone give me the length of the front threaded kingpins. I just bought a set and they seem really long.
Never mind, I don't know what I was thinking. I was trying to put them in the arm instead of the kingpin.

jonski, hope you got the kinpins and not the rear outer hingepins.
Last time someone around here told me they got long "kingpins" they in fact were the rear hinge pins, not the kingpins.

I am looking to try a gear diff right now for the time being just to try one out. What oil would be best to start with? Looking to have it setup properly in the race track conditions. Track is usually watered heavily and locked down fast by the time 2WD Buggy gets on the track.
I've been reading 2k a lot, but thought I'd ask. Thanks.

Try filling it with AE black grease. Doesn't have the leakage of the oils and runs very consistent. Forgot how long I've had it in there. I want to open it up and take a look but I want to run it a bit longer and see hom the grease holds up. Currently running indoor clay. I've played with 1K fluid, 80wt shock oil, 60wt shock oil, and the AE grease. Also ran all weights with complete diff and with 2 gears removed for more steering. I prefer all gears with the black grease. I pushed with the 1K sor I decided to start going lighter. Everyone seems to be running 2-3K on here so maybe I'll give that a shot.
