Does anyone know if these are for the shock body over the threads? Or for the shock cap. I am looking for a ring seal for the cap so o don't have to cut up a bladder.

It may be our track but hard on the throttle it starts to plane on top of the dirt. Had to go with 4 To get it to dig.

Is everyone shimming their rear differential/bearing inserts as the manual states? I am building my second e 3.0 kit and it came with waaaayyyy more shims compared to when I bought one last December.

I have one on the front gear side and one on each side of the rear. At least till its freed up some. Only got around 12 packs on it right now and still snug.

BTW I am running 573 but tomorrow at practice I am going to try 575. Just for the heck of it. Then I am going to try 572 this weekend. Hopefully I can make up my mind which I like best before I invest in some heavy duty diffs.

I just finished my other build and installed all AVID bearings from the get-go and ended up with two small black rubber shielded flanged bearings left over. Looks like the Ackerman bearings. I'm wondering if AVID supplies 4 of those because of the TLR kit containing two ackermans.

Maybe you could get some pics up. I would like to try it if its not to much work. I would like to see how they did it. Looking mine over last night appears to be some tricky work? My gut says to leave yours the way it is and it will handle more like the 2.0. My 2.0 out turns the 3.0. MHO is that that the 3.0 is a better kit but only lacks the off power steering of the 2.0. if the mod is a lot of work I am just going to buy the brass weight for the front with the battery forward.
There was another guy at the track with a 3.0 and he still had everything in the stock position and was running the brass weight in his. I didn't get a chance to see how his was doing or ask him what he thought of it before he left.

It's not a must do option but when I was running a truggy motor in my 2.0 I ran these. I am picking some up today. Mainly I like these in the center.
