Nothing is binding and I run smoother than all of the people Im comparing run times too so I know its not my driving style. I had a very basic Dynamite charger and just yesterday bought a new imax b6 ac 80w charger so Im hoping that solves the problem. Is there any way this can be a motor/esc issue? I have my low voltage cut off set at 3.4 but most packs were at 3.8 when checked after running.
Make sure your timing is set to 1 and lvc to 3.1-3.2
What kv motor do u run? My 5200 will use 6000+ mah in an 8 minute race.

You don't need to use grease. A lot of guys just up some shock only on them to lube them before a build.

I just bit the bullet and picked up the bleeder caps. Was really tedious to do it with the stock caps.

When you screw the cap on..... the hole..... is below the seal at the top of the shock body
