I am loving this truck. I like how it responds to changes in setup, a small change is easy to feel on the track. Now for some bad news, while changing shock fluid today, I noticed the rear shock shafts are showing some pretty heavy wear for the 5 packs that I have ran through the truck.

The fronts show no wear, the picture is of the rear. Both show the same wear pattern. I'm not complaining, I just wanted all owners to be on the lookout. I will call Horizon tomorrow and I'm sure they will take care of it, like they always do.

They supposedly fixed them, and I waited quite a while to replace them on my buggy because they said it was a running change. When I got the new ones, they showed scoring shortly after. Looks like the same old situation with the truck.
I wonder how much it would cost TLR to make shock shafts like they did 10 years ago. Too much I guess
Sorry, still love the vehicles though!

Heres a pic with my old beat up skin from my 2wd. Ill post a pic of the new mounted buggy one on the truck once i do it. In the second pic it's my 2wd on the left to compare to the truck on the right......In pic 3 u can see how short it's in the front but once the bumper is on its not noticeable.... It's only a couple of mm.

what O rings are you running?? i know i had a problem with my buggy till i went to the low friction O rings. the stock ones have alot of friction. for my truck i went with the low friction inside and a stock one outside. you will notice a difference in the performance also. you can do low friction inside and out but the shocks will leak a little.
