It's always negative camber, that's why they don't specify + or -.

Fortunately I barely got the bit into the threads about half way up so it wasn't a big deal, the shock body just cleaned the threads up when I built the shocks. Get the bottom thread or two though and it will be a pain to thread on straight.

Why have I posted so many times today??? Oh, because I'm hangin at home wrenching on a few cars and my phone keeps beeping at me I need to work on not being a slave to the smart phone

fq06,

Do you run the Kyosho 8 x 1.3mm shock pistons? If so, which side of the piston faces towards the shock shaft? One side of the piston is flat, the other side is a little domed. From what I can tell from a Kyosho MP9 instruction manual, the domed side of the piston faces the shock shaft (faces down).

I don't. But dome side down would be like how you assemble the Tekno pistons. Makes sense, the flat side should have more dampening and the dome side should let the fluid flow better for faster rebound.
I'm sure someone that uses those will chime in.

By default, any piston that has a shape to it will have the flat or cupped side up and the domed or pointed side down. This gives more pack with faster rebound.

If somebody flips them, this is considered special and should be in notes in their setup sheet.

AKA, flat side up.

Sounds like I need to give them a try.

Oh, also... it doesn't matter functionally but the side holes to drill at marked on both sides. I didn't notice that and one is drilled on the opposite side of the others. Grrr was what I uttered once I noticed
(You only need to drill one per cap, not both.)

Ions are an amazing tire! If you are on a clay track make sure you get the correct compound. I used super soft on a clay track and they were bald after the first race.

I've been cutting and using a piece of fuel line tubing cut a little longer than the bushing. It lasts forever and works great.

I let go of the throttle right before I hit the top of the jump.

This is the car I bought. I didnt even check any of the specs on it and just gave it a run to see how it did from how the person had it set up.

Looks like a solid truck. So when you jump your front end lifts so much it's making you crash on the landings, that's a new one for me a bunch of guys are fighting the nose diving thing.
