Yes, preload is in mm.
Was this last question directed toward me? If so, the 5 hole with lighter oil will handle better in the turns and when its not moving too fast through the oil but will give you more pack on the quick movement, like landing jumps and hitting bumps, etc...

Do you have to run a stick pack in the 808 or do regular hump packs fit?

If you have a small receiver you can run a hump pack where the receiver normally goes and the receiver in the battery compartment.

: ).. that would explain my theorem the guy I talk to about geometry and its affects runs only 1/10 buggy.. I know it makes sense some things dont cross over to 4wheel.. havent spent much time with the xray book... but I used to run 19 on tight and 22 on sweepy tracks and loved it it was one of two changes I made to a base setup....
Hope I didnt throw any body off.. thanks Rocco!!

Great looking pieces, but the only upgrade I think that may be necessary is the adjustable suspension holders. I can live without the engine mounts and aluminum shock towers. I know my local track is rough and blown out. I tried the aluminum stiff braces back on my 777 and it was tossed around way too much. I wish Xray would develop pivot braces like the 777's for a little more flex.

I agree 100%, one off the many reasons the 808 drives the way it does is because of the chassis flex it has. The two optional Alum. parts I will try are the suspension holders (Like you said) and the steering plate when its announced to the public.

Rocco, Are those aluminum? What would the advantage be going to those? Or just comedic?

These torque rods are aluminum it allows the chassis to twist side to side but not so much front to rear. It's what I ran on my XB8 and TQ until the plastic braces came out, but I'm going to try this on the 808 when I get un-lazy enough to put it on my car, haha!

The stock setup recommends using 0 rebound. What is the advantage of this and when and why should you use rebound?
Cheers.
