Also, is there a step by step write up on the C-Hub process? Sounds a little complicated, im still learning. :D

Yes, the Traxxas top collars have a little slop. But they are cheap. The Avid collars are much better and are easier to adjust.

The c-hub mod is easy. All your doing is shaving the bump where the inner ball studs go. They have instructions included if you buy the Associated ones.

Was up bone, when u bleed the bypass shocks do u do it as normal? Well I guess a better way to ask is how do you set them for rebound?

I have a strange situation. Last night I was running at the track and came into something I've never encountered before. Basically I had the truck running as normal in the first heat. The second heat came and the truck lost a lot of power. The power it did have was being sent to the left wheel causing the truck to pull left. I haven't been able to take it apart yet, but any idea on what it could be? It's a ft truck FYI.

As for bleeding air? I do it as I would with the stock pistons. Then bleeding the extra oil using the bleeder hole, I do it normal as well. With no springs, I want no rebound. Just like the instructions.
As for bypass piston and valve setup, piston goes on first with the valves on top.

Check your diff, cvs's and out drives and hub bearings.
Diff may just need tightening or a rebuild. You really can't tell until you take it apart. The cva's and hubs are much easier and quicker to inspect so start there.

They are meant to slide over the AE threaded collars and set screw onto them.
