I have a new part for AE shocks that works well. Its a bushing kit that replaces the stock shock bushing with a CNC machined bushing that guides the shock shaft correctly. Stock shock bushing has over .030 clearance between it and the shock shaft so this leaves the orings to do all the work of a bushing. My bushings have a .002 clearance and are machined from a Ultra slick material. We have found that the car is more consistant and seals last longer as they do not have to hold the side to side movement of the shock shaft. Shock oil stays cleaner also.

Thanks Mike for asking the source. I agree that a larger diameter coil is more stable and less prone to buckling.
I need to check the larger diameter wire formula, because I'm pretty sure that a larger wire diameter increases stress. This comparison only applies between Losi and Avid because they are roughly the same body diameter. The larger the spring body diameter the lower the stress, therefore a larger wire diameter is needed compared to the AE spring for the same spring rate. |

It seems a few guys are/have been looking for a explanation as to why the larger diameter springs (i.e. Avid/Losi) would be an improvement over the stock AE springs. So, I asked the lead engineer of Avid Racing and here is the response:
Hi Mike- The larger springs have less stress on the wire and less buckling. Not to mention the weight of the spring is different. All of this adds up to a spring that keeps the shock operating smooth (and aligned = less drag) under load. Also the thick wire and lower stress helps soak up the small bumps better than a spring with thinner wire and higher stress. Coach |

I was thinking it was odd that you are running heavier oil in the rear than in the front

Yeah, like suggested above. Use the #3 piston and maybe even a thicker oil. 35wt. Is very common. Is this setting in you sc10 or T4?

Great info! That is a lot more intelligent sounding than my explanation of they feel better. :lol:

Hard pack, outdoor, wet, med+ bite. They are crazy good on my buggy too! I know guys who run them indoor, same conditions with no loam.
