Since I have been back racing the past couple of years I have never seen anyone run Tamiya shocks on their car. The only person I have ever seen run Tamiya shocks on almost every car he has is our buddy Juan Aveytia. Even at the carpet nats I went around the entire pit area and all the cars I saw were using the kit shocks...and we had ALOT of cars there

Tamiya shocks have their reputation because children can build them, no shock builds so smooth with so little effort. I mean Xray shocks are nice for what they are but look at how many times have you seen people begging for a tutorial video on how to build them properly.

So i'm looking into getting back in the swing of things as far as racing, i'm going to use my 10' T3 and i'm wondering if it's worth the trouble of upgrading the parts to make it the 11' verison. Also, what is a good final gear ratio to use for a 13.5 class?

Screws
Does anyone have a titanium screw set yet ?

Given most of us are still adding weight to the car... I wouldn't spend the money on ti. I do use ti hardware on the bottom of my car. But they are left over mugen Ti screws I already had to make the bottom totally flat. Most are about a dollar each, The money is better spent on things like the new roll center mounts.

Whats up with the new clamps and the ball studs not screwing all the way down because the ball stud does not have thread all the way up to the top of the collar? You have to force it in if you want to run zero shims.
#1993
Because of the way that the ball studs are made you can't get the threads all the way to the top. The proper fix would be to back cut the holes for the clamps the distance of the none threaded part of the ball stud. Sort of what you doing when you force the ball stud all the way into the clamp, although the back cut will ensure that you don't bugger up the threads.

Ti
I just want to put the weight were i want . I already have the clamps and milled one mil off the height to get the inner link lower and used the ball off the shock with a set screw thread locked in so it doesn't come loose.
