I only get the littlest of weeping. I top them off ever 2 weeks and the oil is always clear like new. didnt do anything special in the build. Just green slime and the tlr22 bleeder washer.

I've been running Kyosho's X-rings. The regular red ones with good results. Many locals are happy running 1 o-ring per shock, and using the spacers to compensate for the one that's missing.

Can't complain about the FactoryOne upgrade shock bushings/orings ;)

I dont get any leaking from the bleeder, but I do get a little fluid around the inside of the bottom shock collar. I built them with a good set of shock shaft pliers, and used green slime, does anyone know what might be causing this (heat, humidity, something out of spec?)

Yep, mine good too. I usually don't check mine that often but I should. I am going to rebuild and go with taper pistons and going to stick with stock build.

lunsford TI screws. Cav always runs them. I think maifield does also.

Edit: Got beat to the punch.

Lunsford. Highest quality stuff, but $. I have built a car with a Lunsford kit before. Hard to justify it if you are adding weight for setup. That said, I don't run any weight, and I run a shorty too. I guess I need another Lunsford screw kit. I need to throw my car on the scale to see how far from legal I am.

what front springs are you running? i'm assuming your running white rears?

Wild Cherry 07-14-2013 08:17 PM

Like it or not ....

B4 was designed for the old NiMH ...

Still needs a certain amount of weight to perform at its best ....;)

Eagle

Whites Front & Rear
TRCR is medhigh grip right now , can use baldies or ghost tires ..

So a stiffer spring helps , heavier rear oil helps as well ...


If med traction ?

would be using Green , Front & Rear spring.

We run JConcept Barcode (gold)

AKA close cell inserts (red)
