So do all kits come with alum shocks parts now ? I ordered with my kit all the aluminum parts for shocks to find it all include d.

I think the buggy always has, the 410 comes with the plastic cap etc...

you're using the same wheels i used !! even the same color !
it's a great wheels no question.

Lol its my only set of those. I have every kind made I think even some mismatched sets...

has anyone else had a problem with the shocks sucking air with no rebound? i cant even get the spring retainers on without the shocks sucking air. almost done building this kit. i built these shocks the same way ive been doing shocks for 10 years. is there a trick to these?

+1 on the VTX8. I have two of them now for my EB48's.

It remains to be seen if the RX8 Gen2 is as smooth as the VTX8.

Added some new goodies...mwahaha 6lbs 6 oz (6.375 lbs)

R u sure its not the boot Ur hearing suck air ? U fill them up with full extension put on cap and bam ur done . if u want less rebound push them in a little before tightining cap but

Does roar rules make E buggy class run 4s lipos? Or can we get away with 2s?

yes they do i would prefer to use a lover kv motor and higher voltage but roar only allows 4s hardcase i believe.

Fill the shock. Let air bubble out. Compress the shaft till about 10mm of the shaft is exposed above the eyelet. Put bladder in place, making sure it is seated on the shock body. Some oil will ooze out. Pull the shaft out of the shock about 5mm. This will suck the bladder tight to the body. Carefully screw the cap on. Before releasing the shaft, make sure the cap is tight. That will do it. If you hear some squishing noises, it is probably the bladder squeaking. I drove myself crazy trying to cure the squeaking, don't worry about it though.
Good luck!

Based on what I am seeing in the rule book:

My first impression is that as long as you are not using more than the maximum, you are fine. I don't think by the specifications of 3S and 4S lipo they mean that is all there is you can use as long as you don't exceed the maximum, so 2S would be allowed, it probably was not thought of since at the time, lipos were just not up to snuff, and who knows, may not be now.

The big thing though is that minimum weight is 3200gm.

its definitely getting air in it somehow. i build mine the same way, with green slim and all. it will be perfect right after building it. but after installing the spring it sucks some air in.

I was running into the same problem. I always tried to build my shocks with zero rebound. I found if I leave the shaft sticking out about 1/3 of the way, rather than only 1/4-1/2" like I was doing, it doesn't get that little bit of air in it. I think if you try to build the shocks with too little rebound it makes the shock have alot of negative pressure when you extend the shaft. Zero rebound just doesn't seem to agree with my shocks. No problems at all since I started leaving a little more rebound in them.

Definitely a light weight car.

Care to list all your hopups to get it down that low?
