the chassis has to much flex in it. so when ppl make a nose landing, the beltcover is beeing pushed to the rightside, pushing the belt of the front pully.
my buddy made a little l-shaped carbon brace ( no pics sofar, sorry )preventing the beltcover from beeing pushed to the rightside when making a heavy nose landing. he has now no more problems with the belt coming of with hard landings..

since when do we need an excuse to buy something new to try????:D

WD40, for the record, is not a lubricant. It displaces moisture.

Water Displacement formula 40. Developed during WW2.

White Lightning is great for dry conditions. Just have to
Watch out for build up.

The belt tunnel plastic is deformed.

That was a final jeopardy question about 20 years ago....

D'oh!! I feel so stupid now.:cry:


Anyway, tried black grease as Botwoon suggested. Zero sqweeking. Runs like a charm.


Thanks!! :smile:

Especially if you plan on driving. :sneaky:

I disagree.

Two trackstar O rings have less sticksion than one X ring. Either way, they are just service parts.

Careful, you're showing our age...

I will say stockers plainly work.

Next time I rebuild my shocks I'll get some trackstar O-rings.

I think that's fair and reasonable.

+1...& they are only $3!

There is so much drag in these shocks with the stock pistons and cartridge cap it doesn't matter how much sticksion a o-ring has.

If you want less sticksion polish your pistons drill hole in cap larger and don't tighten cap all the way down. oh and modify your springs because they stick on the shock body. lol Just changin o-rings does very little with all those other problems so the whole sticksion argument is null

I highly disagree...the only thing I did was swap out the two x-rings for two trackstar o-rings & I felt an immediate improvement. I was forced to reuse the stock cartridges, the new ones I bought wouldn't thread on correctly.

Does anyone remember what page the chassis braces were posted on?
