Buggy I can't say I recommend them for the front with my setup as they don't offer a spring as stiff as you are currently running. For the rear White or Yellow.

Truck. Same problem for the front. Rear maybe start with the gray based off spring rates.

Tried my 22 today as a mid motor, it was great.
Can't wait to race it on a high traction track. I was using a frank root setup.
I loved how much better it was entering high speed corners. Still loose on exit though

Default Shocks!!!

I am having the worst luck with oil leaking out of my shocks. I have the rtr 22t which has the silver shock shafts. I upgraded to the gold tinitride shock shafts after hearing so many people having success with them. Now THOSE are leaking!!! How do I fix this problem?

Fwiw, I use the clear Kyosho x-rings, bladders with the cap vented (just leave the screw out), and have basically zero leakage. The oil stays super clean as well.

Yeah, the tekno guys are doing the same thing on the 4x4 trucks. I assume it allows the bladder to move in and out because the cap is not pressurized. The bladder keeps any dust or dirt out of the oil. but you may need to clean your caps out when changing oils.

Gray ones should not leak much. Did you replace the o-rings with the shafts? You could have a damaged o-ring or two. It is always a good idea to replace the o-rings when you replace shafts if not more often.

Yah, I do it because I can easily build the shocks with 0 rebound, they don't leak at all, and the oil is clean. If the cap is plugged with the bladders, there is air pressure that builds up and causes a small amount of rebound.

About xrings,if they are the org03X they're too small for the 22.I'm using these they're the correct size.
