Who has the most packs through their truck? What does the long term durability look like for this thing?
I am one who loves to go to practice and slam down pack after pack. I know things should cool, and I do wait a little between runs. I take good care of my stuff I just like to run like crazy. I had a hyper 10sc that I ran alot and gave me little problems in the durability department (just handled like crap on the track). I will be running mine in a few days. Sold that hyper months ago in anticipation of this sc10. The rx8 and sc4x should be here today in the mail...cant wait!

The new shock orings we have installed are ridiculously smooth. 
Testing went well as there was a very slight sign of wetness around the lower part of the cartridge (possibly due to the lube during assembly).
Until I get these under a few more battery packs and through a few races I won't give them 100% approval. If they do pass muster then we will have them for sale on our site. Somewhere around $2.50-3.00 a full set.

I didn't take my shocks that far apart but I looked at the manual and it appeared as though there is no o-ring that seals the lower cartridge. I could see that as a problem and I could see Teflon taking care of any leaks there if that's the case. Are there any o rings or something else that seals the lower cartridge against the shock body?

hey guys and gals, i seem to have been a little generous with the black grease when building the cvds and after a few packs at the track, they are getting caked up with grit. I can see this leading to failure, as I am a low maintenance kind of guy. has anyone tried dry chain lube like pedro's ice wax from cycling to lube high friction, exposed areas? I might try it and see how it works.

I think I have a decent sway bar set up.
I used sway holders from my Xray T3 2011

Some parts from a Losi Ten SCTE sway bar kit.

and I bent some 2mm music wire. You can even use set screws and yes the bumper clears. I just finished the front and will do rear tomorrow.
