I would imagine Traxxas stuff is metric.

The MIP seals are actually really low friction but part of that (way back when I used them) is because the I.D. is slightly larger than Associated/Losi seals. As a result, they leaked sooner and more than the stock red seals. I haven't tried them in more than 8 years so they may have changed since then.

The GS silicone seals that I've used are metric so the I.D. is smaller than the 1/8" Associated/Losi seals although I didn't mind the lack of leaks after 5 months of sitting in my closet and then throwing it on the track for a day I'll have to build up a set with identical piston and oil but with different seals and see if there's a difference between them.

How well do the gts rear arm fit on the T4?

I am thinking of put the RPM arms on the rear because they work so well in the front

Also wanting to know how often to change my slipper pads

cheers, matt

It wouldn't work, gas truck shocks mount to the rear of the arm, while electric's mount to the front.

Slipper pads should last pretty much for life, unless you run it too loose for too long & glaze everything over

The front shock towers on the T4 and on the GT2 have different part numbers in Associated's listing, but I've looked at them up and down and can't find a difference

Basically the same, i am running it. The inner camber link mount is a little lower from what i understand so you have to add one washer to get it to the same as the stock one but its hard to tell the difference by looking at it. They look identical.

I think its .060 lower, but .030 for sure. It basically allows you a little more adjustment, such as if you wanted the truck to push you could run the GT2 with no washers and it will take some steering away.

Probably been covered many, many times but I didn't have time to read the 160+ pages. For those with RTR T4's....what kind of battery packs are you running? What kind of run times are you getting out of them?

The CF one that i want has 6 shock mounting holes on each side (so 12 all up) it also has 4 ball stud holes on ether side (so 8 all up) and that means that the ball stud holes dont matter in this one

What? You're in the forum for T4s and B4s. Post your questions here. Or better yet, search this thread for your questions. I'm sure they have been answered 2 - 300 times already.
