You can buy high quality x-rings (~$7.50/100ct.) from mcmaster-carr if you know which size you need. I think 006 works for most 1/10 shocks.

Anybody have the x-rings they could put a micrometer to and get the ID and thickness? Be careful not to compress the ring when taking the measurements.

Is anyone running this car outdoors on tracks that favor DD's, holeshots or tazer type of tires? Like a watered outdoor mixed traction style of track. I am sure it will work great indoors.

The traxxas ones worked well in the V1 big bores. Not the new V2's. As for the kyosho ones....Those too worked in the V1's i believe, I guess we will find out if they work in the V2's.

Nope. I ruined them following somebody else's advice to work the turnbuckle in and out with a drill--i.e. screw it in and out over and over again to free it up. I went too fast, and even after the ones I didn't ruin doing it that way were still too tight.

Drilling them out and reaming the ends makes a huge difference. At a very minimum, ream the ends out with a body reamer so they aren't dragging on the turnbuckle. If they're still too tight after that and grease, then drilling out is another option. Honestly, it was very easy to do though, but it would be easy to destroy them if you screw up

Full size servo fits fine, the car was designed to use a full size servo.

I do not see why they will not work, I also bought the red o-rings as well just incase. I know the kyo x rings worked great in the serpent shocks.

The same reason you can't use the new orings in the old big bores. The diameter of where you place the orings has changed.

The bore diameter has been reduced slightly for use of the new Factory Team o-rings and also better performance with the older red o-rings. Therefore to answer your question no the Traxxas o-rings no longer work like before

Chad Due

You could say that because the bore diameter of the seals was tightened the orings that we all used previously (traxxas) will no longer work. Looks like you're going to be the guinea pig on this one.

Should I be using the diff lube for greasing inside the tranny like the manual says or use some sort of white silicone grease i've seen people get from auto stores?

Thanks for the advice on length of ball studs.... As for the cups popping, I think I will try to drill them out.. I have the same issue on my 22-4 even after a good greasing and i hate hate hate it.

Not new to building/rc but new to tuning/racing. Built a scte 2.0, sct410, 22-4, and 2 scx10s within the last year so I know my way around.. Plus my old T3 back in high school
