Agree. Slipper springs cannot be over compressed or they wont work right. I wouldnt recommend using other slipper pads tho. The xray pads are the most consistent ive ever felt. Any others always feel different by mid and end of run when they are allowed to slip much. These dont change. Makes for an easier to drive car when it doesnt change thru a race.

Hi, may be this can sound silly, but while i was doing the shock i noticed that the progressive spring got more coils on one side than the other side.More coil=softer and less coils=harder. Is that right?. If that is right more coils on top and less on the bottom of the shock.
Could anyone please tell me if i am wrong or right?
Thank you

NO.....that is incorrect !
A spring will always compress the same regardless of which way you mount it.
There's no way of applying pressure to just one side of the spring.
Put 2 dampers (without oil) with springs in a shock tool (like Losi's) with the springs the same way, compress and observe, now flip one of the springs the opposite way and compress again.......then get back to me
You're not alone in thinking this though.........it's a VERY wide spread misconception

I've ordered some of these:
TSR "Pro Seals"
Haven't got them yet so can't comment on them. I've used their seals on my durango 4wd short course diffs and they worked great. Hopefully they work just as well in the xb4's diffs.

. I don't own anything from kyosho, but I do love they're o-rings. I always replace my x-ray o-rings with kyosho ones if kyosho have the same size o-rings available.

stupid question but im ready for answer..i just order some avid machined pistons.. 2X1,6 and 2X1,1 = 4 pistons and the other package is 2X1,5 and 2X1,1 ..so at the end this is 8 pistons..does i have to sell some or i really need 4 pistons as back up? thanks for hint lol

You could also get a 1.7mm bit and drill out a set of pistons so you have a variety.
In my car I'm running 1.6 and 1.7's and it made a huge difference over the stock pistons
