castle and losi deal is old news. A losi rep even confirmed this in this thread or another.

Can someone show where the bleeder hole is supposed to go on the shock caps? and what size hole is recommended? I want to drill a spare set of plastic caps I have to test the emulsion shock setup. I don't want to have to spend the money on aluminum caps just to see if I like it or not. Probably would get the ones with no holes anyway.....
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

Exact size isn't an issue. Its there to allow the air and shock oil to bleed as you tighten the cap. Ran the crap out of it last weekend and no leaks. Step up seems to work well. Nice and settled with no bouncing.

Nice. Thanks for posting. Looks like the Pro4 is a winner. Still not sure which one to get. I guess it won't be a problem for a bit since they are so hard to find.

Does anyone know of any locking/clamping hex's for the axles?

Losi should have their own come out soon (if it's not out already). Jammin has some now too at about $20 per set. I use the cheapy HPI Blitz Hexes. Which reminds me... I'm going to a race that observes ROAR rules in a month. What is the legal width limit for 4wd SC? I think the HPI hexes add a mm of width.
Edit:
Roar max width 296
Stock SCTE width 295.8
It looks like using HPI hexes will put you about a mm over the limit.

guys im looking for some help on my shocks. There were 4 scte tens at the track today and all but one seemed to have an issue with the rear shocks. The rear shocks seem like they are not rebounding, its not allowing the rear end to roll in off power. The one truck that was working well in the rear was a brand new truck. The other trucks had 3-10 race days on them. I changed my rear shock oil from the stock oil to 25 weight and it didnt seem to help at all. Im running 25mm of ride height in rear and 30 in front. I bought a rebuild kit to see if that is my issue but I honestly have no idea what it is to get the rear of this truck correct. What shock setups are you guys have luck with?

I also echo what Red Devil said though as I did in my original post on the subject. If all the other current Castle rebranded stuff is saying "Powered by Castle" then why is Losi choosing not to do so?
Seems curious to me especially since the Losi guys appear to be avoiding this topic. Must be some wild conspiracy about having the ESC made by Hobbywing in a sweatshop in the Hindu Kush by secret CIA trained Super Alpacas and Losi would rather we assume it's Castle then admit the truth.
Disclaimer: The above theory on the manufacture of the SCTE RTR electronics is a joke, if you take it seriously and flame me it's probably because you lack a sense of humour.
Ah well, only time will tell.

mine have been buttery smooth so far, running 35 weight on all 4 corners.
I run on a 1/8th scale track with some hoss jumps
