The piston/shaft would still have to be removed from the top so chainging limiters would be the same as before.

oh ya huh . my bad, guess the only way that would work is if the piston or limiter physically touches the o-ring cartridge, but the body is probably machined with a hole just big enough for the shaft (haha shaft) to fit thru.

In the Crcc setup it shows two limiters in the front shocks does anyone know what size they are? Also picked up the car used is there and easy way to tell 30deg caster blocks from the 25?

Each Limiter is .030", and the caster blocks would have 30 written on them if they are. the 25's dont have anything written on them.

And if your caster blocks aren't marked you can identify them this way

The 30 degree blocks, the hinge pin hole is off center, this is from having a 5 degree angle added to it.

I was going to recommend the new AE shocks but since he is just bashing, no need for them... at least not worth the minimum $50 to upgrade

If he doesn't take those turnbuckles, I'll buy them

Only the actual b4/t4 castor blocks are marked like this. The GT2/B4.1/T4.1 hubs are not marked.

If your hubs are not marked the easiest way to tell if you have 25* blocks is that the hinge pin holes are centered. Where the hinge pin on the 30* blocks is slightly tilted.

holy moly a 9000 for a b4/t4. NO WAY!!! i dont think it'll fit either since its a lil plump over the other JR HiSpd/HiTq servos in JR line.

hobbico has some really sneaky good (b/c they are less $) CS digital servos that fit the bill. some 8xxx series servos from JR are great. but honestly i love futaba 9550/9551 stuff. low profile, nice fit, never have to worry bout them failing b/c they dont.

it doesnt have to be LP, just nice if u want to stuff weight behind it. it can be a full length servo, my point is that the 9xxx servos are more plump, a tick longer and a tick thicker and beyond be overkill powerwise u might find it a headache to try and line up ur servo posts well when mounting.
