prevents the batt from shifting front to back. The way they are taped down, the batt tends to move forward back quite easily. You then use the mount with the screw to give just the right amount of tension (possible because of screw) on the batt so it becomes solid. My batt doesn't move at all, side to side or front to back. I've been in crashes where I cartwheeled down the straight, and it stayed in tact.

Does temperature come into it at all? I kind figured 50 for winter and 70 for summer, but I always use AE Silicone oils. I've only tried the 50's so far in winter, and only a couple runs. My AE shocks didn't like the X-Rings, but my TRF shocks seem fine with them. I'll be trying them in my Schui shocks soon.

I'm using X-Ring for silicone oil. I find them just as smooth as TRF blue but leak less, they leak about the same as stock clear one I guess. Has anyone tried fitting with green slime or is this a bad idea?
They look like the caps from the TRF buggies. Bought some to try what Jilles has there but never bought the screws =s

Hey,
I`m planing to get a Tamiya 417x,
but looking at tamiya usa it is listed as discontinued.
Would it be wiser to wait for a new model or just go for the 417x?
This will be my first Tamiya pro touring, currently running 3racing XI-DH
Kinda ennoying to by the car if they release a 418 the week after :-)

I am having trouble trying to find a place to buy the thing. I notice the 417 Gear Diff Version II but waiting for the reedy edition. Anyone have any ideas where to buy it or if it's just direct from Tamiya?
