I have seen team drivers during Indoor EC using bladders with lower height than usual and they told me that xray is about to release them any time soon.
I have trouble building plastic shocks. Always loosing oil. That's why I used to use Tamiyas. Now with the aluminum ones I'm very happy and have no issues at all

Yep, they fit fine
I put the foam and bladder into the cap and then fill completely with oil and then screw the cap on a few turns. Then I push the shaft into where you want the rebound and then slowly screw the cap down all the way.
I find the Tamiya bladders allow the oil properly out of the bleed hole in the cap.

I have a few questions......First, should we purchase the ECS drive shafts or get the knock off ones? Any difference?
Also, does anyone have a picture of their shrink wrapped drive shafts? When you put the shrink wrap on and heat it, do you heat just the portion that touches the top of the pin or do you heat it up all the way around? Also, being that the wrap goes around it, doesn't that creat a little bind in the movement of the shaft?
Also, the reason I'm using the shrink wrap is because my pins keep backing out. I never had this problem before. Should I just switch to the pins with the flat spot on them, lock tight, and don't worry about the wrap. Or save my money on buying the pins with flat spot and just shrink wrap? Thanks.

SPEC-R GEAR DIFF
Ok I ran 7 packs through it yesterday and it performed flawlessly. I had to take it apart and resand the gears one more time as it was still a bit tight and after doing that, I ran with 500much more oil and it was silky smooth. I had no timing but the laptimes definitely felt quicker and the car stayed consistent all day.

Thanks for sharing this. I just put shrink wrap around the stock ones, came out nicely. I also bought a set of ecs and pins with the flat spot. Wish I knew I didn't need them. I guess I could have use those pins in the stock ones but I heard of people not even using set screws with shrink wrap.

yes it is true but the 2 hole arm is longer than the 1 hole arm.

Is anyone going to start producing kits for this and selling them?
