Not dissing them but it is like the auto companies, they cut corners at every oppertunity instead of doing the right thing.
If it aint' broke...don't fix it...........

Yah but they only made a new mold because the old ones were getting bad. It would of been more economical to design a new shock so they don't have to double mold because those are really expensive.

nothing is wrong with what they have, they got rid of the older molds so they stick with the new ones. basically the ring signifies that they are new, not much of a hassle putting in a little step to make a ring. there isnt anything wrong with them. although they are fairly basic, they get the job done, and with the new rebuild kits they get even better.

Does anyone have any suggestions for wheels for the B4 other than the standard dish white/yellow?
Noticed the white rulux wheels, would LOVE to get a set of black rims (even dish) but would prefer anything not dish and not white/yellow.
B4 front & back.
thanks

Do the new rebuild kits work as well in the old shocks? Have shocks from kits from a year and two years ago.

yes, same question. wouldnt want to have to sift thru shock rebuild kits. i usually go with orings only. but at least a fresh clip is nice.

The new shock rebuild kits work in the old shock bodies and have very little leaking compared to the old kits.

p# stayin the same as well? should i order em thru frank to assure that i get new pieces (this, towers, carriers, arms, steering stuff etc) or would LPH have em by now. dont feel like buyin any more old parts in lieu of this all.

the sc10 motor guard is complatly diffrent that the T4 one...
just going from my used t4s and my new SC10
the plastic that the chassis, arms, tower, etc is diffrent than the my older T4s. everything seems to have more slop in it now too

assoc is correct, most lhs's should have them by now. and above, there isnt a new shock body, some stuff and its a world of a difference

the sc10 motor guard is the same thing, same part number and it fits, associated is making one mold, getting rid another mold, and its nicer to carry around from the rear
probably carbon...

So you know , the Sc-10 bell crank plastic is more flexible then the old plastic....

Your opinions... for a FT B4.

I've never owned either Tekin or LRP before, only run Castle products. Any advice?
Am currently leaning toward Tekin w/ a 10.5, but am very open to suggestions.
