Anyone knows what is the weight of the AT42-1 with the oil in it (just before putting the AT40-1) so the correct amount of oil is in?

Do you need to worry about exactly how much oil goes in? I usually fill to the point where I expect some oil to bleed through the bearing hole to make sure that there's no oil inside the damper itself.

Have a look here:

There is no need to weight the oil.
I highly recommend to follow this instructions for perfect build dampers.

Hey guys, quick question, I'm building my Aweso car for USGT and will be grabbing a set of Ti turnrods, does anyone feel the Lunsford set is better than the T-Worx or vice versa?

I’m trying to get more rear traction out of a long arm mmcx-a on lower traction grey carpet, and the long uppers used only on the rear did seem to work. The car is a bit unbalanced in dynamic events now though, I may try the long uppers on the front too. Just trying to wrap my head around how less camber gain is netting more traction ?

Longer top links provide a notceable increasing of the side roll. This is due to the effective roll center goes down more with longer top link than with shorter top link at car's side roll.
