Here is a good tip like Q said if the collar is hard to spin up and down when I first build mine I put a little thin oil on the shock and on the collar thats seems to help and you can do that from time to time ...I spary my shocks with motor spary when I clean them so I put oil on them after that keeps them smooth...Later Drew

I have used the plastic bodied shocks on my 008's for the whole season and have only rebuilt them 2 times they are very good shocks

Well I made the switch to Xray and bought a U.S. Version for carpet season. I am wondering however has anyone used this car on Asphalt and what was needed for a descent setup, or is it never going to be as good and I have to get either the EU parts to switch it from season to season. I am glad however they are just tweaking some parts rather than building a new car for 09.

The US car will not work as well as the EU car on asphalt. You will need the EU chassis, top deck set and rear belt. The plastic parts on the US is harder than the EU. Hard vers extra hard. You can replace all the plastic parts also. The US uses 50mm drive shafts while the EU uses 52mm. You do not need to replace these. The longer driver shaft is to give more traction. You will also want a spool for the front. The multi diff is nice. But the plastic spool works well. The plastic outdrives can break. But some new aluminum outdrives will be out soon.

Also the new black springs are nice.

This is a less expensive conversion turning a US car into a EU car. Plus you have 2 different cars depending on what tire type you want to run.

Hi experts,

I'm going to race with t2k8 this winter in super stock (17,5T brushless). I'll race on technical course on a carpet.

Could anyone recommend me the range of pinions? I know this is not easy to say it.... thanks a lot
