also the stock shock setup was sooo soft and all i had was some 50wt a friend gave me and now the truck has no rebound and handles like crap. whats the best setup for small big jump tracks?

Well I run 5,5,3 on a indoor tight track and it works. Went to 3,5,3 to see how it works out.

I would drop back down to 30wt oil and get the racing spring set and change out the stock springs to whatever stiffness you like. IMO 50wt is way to high.

I run the STRC shock towers, they were a good upgrade. Since the losi graphite towers don't offer any different holes to change the geometry, I figured these were just as good and less expensive.

Where are you guys having the leaks from the outdrives or gasket?

Hello,
I will check this out when getting mug O-rings and report the conclusions to this thread after some testing.

Haven't done that sanding: maby should?

Is there a part number for just the shock bladders? The manual lists LOSB2906 but its really a rebuild kit which I don't need..

You'll have to buy the whole rebuild kit to get the bladders.

I hope you dicks are happy because I just bought a tekin pro4 4600. I still think it's too much motor for 90% of us including me, but for the $95 I paid (used) I will check it out first hand. Maybe. Or maybe I will sell it and keep my 5.5 550 trinity monster. We shall see.
