Since October when the car was released the only thing I have replaced are 2 front arms and a couple bearings. The car is very solid just like the nitro cars.

Anyone knows where I can find a setup for large outdoor loose dirt with medium jumps ?

Nog.
I replaced front shock tower, front A arm and centre diff (due to a loose set screw in rear diff).
Love the car !

What is the difference between part # 600110 and 600421
Those are silicone O rings. Aren't the outdrives on the buggy all the same size ?

Nog

These are the shock pistons that I made for my buggy. I'm going to try them out tomorrow.

Beautiful!! Love the countersunk piston holes.. Should be super gnarly on the track!!!!! Please do post your thoughts after you give them a good shakedown! I'd buy a set from you, without a hesitation!!!!!

Thanks buddy. I domed the top of the pistons,radiused the corners and ported the holes to reduce blowby on the piston under sharp impact. I will let you know how they work.

All new. I make them out of delrin. I just got back from running the car. Unreal ride. That thing is crazy fast and handles like a dream. The pistons worked out awesome. Im leaving them in. Extremely consistent and great feel
