Take the shock tools and see if you can spin the leaking one without it getting tight. If so there ya go. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately that's not the case, I also just replaced the whole bottom cap to no avail. I am going to call AE tomorrow and see what they say.

What is the advantage of the FT bodies? Is it really worth it?
12-29-2011, 07:06 PM
It's a polished hardened Alum. It doesn't rub the smooth coating off the shock like the blues. If you could look into your blues, the smooth coating is into the silver alum causing friction.
New Stock to New FT? Not a huge difference.
Old Stock to Old FT? The coating will still be on the FT far into the life of the truck.

They are so worth it. The shocks are much smoother, even compared to factory fresh stockers, and the coating lasts so much longer like coyote said. Its one of the worth wile upgrades for this truck in my mind.

Castle 1415 Install Guide
58t Spur / 22t Pinion: This gearing allows this 1415 motor which is designed for 3S and 4S to be ran on a 2S happily. There are other spurs from a RC10GT that are smaller that can help with gearing on this Motor. (thanks T-bird)
These red areas do not allow the Big ass motor to sit flat.
I'm sorry for the shitty Dremeling. I did this the night I got the Truck so long ago (7 months?) and haven't bought a new chassis to do this grind cleanly.
And there you have it. 1415 Absurd power on 2S I keep up with Losi Mamba Monsters and run ice cold. I 'adore' this motor. It's so hard to even think about getting another sensored upgrade motor.

)I see you are running the top deck how do you like it? Did you notice any changes in how the truck handled?

Hey guys,
I'm thinking of buying myself one of these trucks. I'm fairly inexperienced with these and AE products and have a couple questions.
1. What is the most common motor size/Kv used? I'd prefer Tekin..
2. Are there any immediate upgrades needed?
3. Will an MMP work fine?
4. Are there different sizes of front and rear wheels?
5. How is the build.. Any things to look out for?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Evil Genuis jr!
Anyone else have advice? Which kv Tekin should I get?

If you are going to go with the tekin 4 pole get the 4000kv. I have never ran a pro 4 but run tekins 5.5 2 pole motor and love it. Many people have said that this truck is to light for the powerfull 4600kv so the 4000 is a happy meduim.
