Has anyone tried the emulsion style shocks versus the bladder style shocks yet? I'm going to try them soon...just wanted to see if anyone had any feedback on them...I'm guessing they'll give a little more traction overall. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks!

. Bladders should help give the shocks more pack but emulsion will give more traction.

Guys,
I did a search and could not find anything specific. I just got my front and rear swaybar kits. I currently have the kit setup on the truck with 5000cst AE diff fluid front and rear.
What color swaybars are you guys using for an indoor clay track with med traction, usually run a little wet and tacky?
Thanks for the help.

Heavy braking today and the belt flipped inside out in front and then over the top of the tensioner and drove it like that for a few laps wondering why it had no bottom end, lol. It feels stretched already even with both tensioners all the way down (19T pulley up front).
Also bent a front CVD somehow.
Tore it down after about 4 hrs of total run time. Diffs were basically empty, like they came in the box. I used green slime on the outdrives and the shock limiters should help. If I had extra diff shims that would probably help with the CVA looseness that allows grease out. I'm running this in a 2.4 hour endurance race in a few days.
On my wishlist if any AE guys are watching: CLEAR BELT/DIFF COVERS

I run mine near the front. I still use the stock rx wire placement. The rx wire just runs down the side of the chassis & when it gets to the mount I use a little dab of shoe goo to hold it there, it works perfect.

Use some black grease on the outdrives, green slime may encourage leakage after a few runs.
