1) Correct, the key item is the silicone o rings
2) Yes, apply green slime or some other grease that is compatible with silicone. You would apply this to the o ring, the inside of the rod guide, and the rod where the threading is. Putting a generous amount of green slime on the threads will help prevent damaging the o rings.
3) I don't know about the red/orange o rings, I have never used them.

edit:
Can anyone explaint o me the love for the red o rings? Why not use these:

Aren't these blue O rings the TRF419X's stock O rings that create the oil leak issue in my dampers?

Hi,

So the tamiya TRF blue competition O-Rings (P3 size) are better than the clear O rings in terms of preventing oil leak and durability? From the description in RC Mart of this product, it requires additional shims (Tamiya #53586) for clearance. Is it really necessary to get the shims if I were to use this blue competition O rings instead of the clear O rings?

Thanks.

I have just noticed that the bd7 belt is 172 teeth. Tamiya is 171. Is this a big enough difference to mess up front and rear wheel speeds?

You were in fact correct. I thought it was the xrings because I've had leaking issues with the xrings.

I use X-rings with 4mm shims. No leaking and super smooth.

Hi guys

May I know what is the overall length that you built for these TRF419X's Super Short Big Bore ("SSBB") shocks, when piston is fully pulled out, with the caps and everything on, except the spring?

I didn't managed to find a good answer on the Internet and it isn't indicate in the assemble manual too.

Thank you.
