Is it ok to use the safe diff spring, thrsut bold and small plastic parts from my old diff in my new diff?

This happens when the top seal around the cap is letting in air. If they are brand new unscrew the top and make sure the seal doesn't have a nick or something allowing air in.

These AE shocks have been the easiest to properly bleed out of all the ones I've tired so far. I do as Cherry recommends also, put the screw in, pump around 10 times, check rebound. If I don't get a dead shock, I unscrew the bleeder screw, let a tiny bit of oil seep out, try again. I've never had to do that more than once.

TLR shocks are more finicky by far, I love these AE units

Well then that makes me wonder if I'm sucking air in at the bleeder screw because I took the o-rings out based on some comments a few pages back.

I still use the losi bleeder washers

I have'nt used a bleeder oring since day 1 and my shocks have been perfect. Check the oring the cap sits down on. I guarantee it is letting air in. Also you dont have to crank the cap down. Thumb tightened is sufficient and wont bunch up the oring.

Hi All so I'm looking for a 1/10th to beef up my 1/8 nitro buggy skills and was wanting to know if the B4.2 would be a good practice ride for that? Or would it be better to look at the B44.2 seeing its 4wd like the 1/8th

B44.2 IMO. I find the switch from 2wd to 4wd (B4.2 to B44.2) to be huge in terms of how they corner and jump. I don't have 1/8th experience but one of the fastest guys at our track (we have a pretty deep and strong 1/10 4wd class) came from 1/8th and was just telling me he found the transition from 1/8 buggy to the B44.2 was much easier than 2wd.

If you can drive mod buggy, you can drive anything. The issue with 4WD is that people tend to overdrive them. The 4WD helps keep you out of trouble, but it can serve as a crutch.

The balance that's required to run at the top with a mod 2wd buggy will help you drive anything else.

I get what you're saying about keeping your car in top shape at a big event...I do the same thing. But doing such an extensive rebuild when it isn't needed, it just opening up you/the car for operator error. The old analogy "if it aint broke, don't fix it" really comes to mind here (or the KISS principle lol) I too run 100's of laps a week, club race twice weekly, and usually a full day of practice as well. (I haven't been out of the top 3 in any of the classes I race in, for quite a while...I owe all of that to how much time I spend on the track) And when I practice/race, I don't sit around and BS..I'm there for a reason and one reason only lol.

I'm just saying, if you know that the maintenance you do, or the amount of racing you do, is REALLY excessive vs the norm....then why recommend doing the same thing to casual racers?!! Even with putting 100's of laps on my cars I don't even come close to needing to do that much maintenance. (i've literally put 1,000's of laps on my stuff between the rebuilds that WC does weekly/every race)

Ever wonder if the reason you need to rebuild/maintain your stuff soooo much is because you are rebuilding/maintaining it sooooo much?! lol

I haven't run the o-rings on any of my 4 sets of AE BB's since I took them out of the package. Not a single one of the 16 shocks leak or suck air. It's funny because the ones I have seen leak/suck air...are the ones owned by 0-ring fanboys lol

i have both a RC8b and B4.2 and don't think it's hard to switch beetween them, at least on high bite. But a friend of mine finds it really hard because the 2WD has needs much more break but much less gas at the same time.

Is it fine to use the same thrust bolt spring and t nut in my old diff and put it in my new diff? Or will the spring be to compressed?

I run mod buggy, second week of it lol, and it is insane, there was some of the guys making 18.230 laps, my fastest was like 19.890 and my average is 20.400 so I am not even near good enough yet hehehe but I am begin the hang of it, but after driving mod buggy I was in rtr sportsman with my sc10 and I TQ'ed (first time ever) and took 1st, after driving my buggy the sct seemed so much more easier lol mayb just me!!:/

It's perfectly fine to clean and Re-use all those. I would only re-use the spring once tho.
