I use ceramic dry bike chain lube. No issues with dirt getting stuck on the gears

Could someone are using Exotek alu bulkhead and shock tower with ssbb shock tell me, are 2 inner holes of shock tower are unusable since the shocks lean too much without make any rebound?

Best regards

Someone with Exotek alu bulkhead with shock tower could tell me if fits using SSBB shocks, in fact i could feel the shock towers are high to use shorter length shocks.

For the new SSBB shocks you can unscrew the bottom cup by 1.5mm. Cannot use the inner shock hole on the low setting because the shock will hit the sway bars.

I guess is better use original shocks again, i think use only low setting of tower is usable due high is unworth.
BTW, if use short spring need use those spring spacers of SMJ.
About cannot run inner hole?
This is difficult in fact i run carpet then o didn't notice it woult hit swaybars.
Anyway, thanks!

Little late to this, sorry, but I fold the antenna over itself (like an accordion) and use a piece of shrink tube and put it between the servo and Rx. Problem solved, nice and neat, too.

Yep! They are exchangeable.

If you’re running the awesome exotek bulk heads and still feel you need some more blue in your life.. you can now opt for the TB05 aluminium diff case 42324

Love this chassis so much, next to Evo7.
Hope, you will remove the grease on your gears. Not a good idea with open gear cases.

I rebuildt mine with the new aluminium bulkheads released for TB05.

Hey Tom, yes, don't worry - all the gears will be removed, prior to electronics going in, to be thoroughly cleaned up ( I almost always build a kit up per instructions, then go back and modify it - even if I have the hop-up parts already). I will then use dry chain lube on the entire drive train, and re-assemble, at least that's what I've always done, even with the Tamiya closed gear cases. I think that stuff just works better than the white Tamiya grease. I'm not even sure I will run these "beautiful" Exotek aluminum gear cases. They weren't super expensive, but I don't want to bend one and NOT be able to replace it. I have another TB Evo 6, and another one on the way (just got it off here yesterday) plus the TB Evo7 in the box that keeps screaming at me to build. . .
