I have seen the video and I understand the physics behind the theory but I still don't see that kinda heat being generated on a 30 min run. I'll definatly check it out. I'll run my truggy for 39 mins like in a main and then take the temp of the shock oil. Who knows I may be surprised. But I don't get the heat part.

Man, I don't know, but any change in air pressure behind the bladder for any reason will change rebound without the vent hole. Say you build your shocks in your cool air conditioned house, and take your ride to the track and leave it sitting in the sun on a hot day for a couple hours. I bet your rebound has changed. If your running vented caps it will be the same or very close.

honestly the 2.0 is better cause they made the changes for a reason!...but i personally have run both and have tried lots of different setups with both cause my buddy has a 2.0 and i have a 1.0 and he knows nothing so i pretty much have to hold his hand and show him what to do!...anyways back on the subject
the 1.0 can be dialed! and you can smoke people with thousands into their 2.0 it only depends on the driver and how the truck or buggy is setup!

Run more rebound when the track is bumpy or loose. Less rebound when on high traction and smooth tracks. I usually run 50% front and rear or 75% front and 50% rear on the truggy.
As for 1.0 vs. 2.0, the 2.0's do everything better. They're just better cars. They drive better and are more durable.

I'm loving them on the truggy. They really do make the shocks more consistent. They're recommended for both cars.
Air pressure behind the bladder changes as the air heats up. This makes rebound change and in turn ride height changes as well. Losi cars are very sensitive to ride height changes. When the shocks heat up in a long race without the vented caps, the ride height changes during the race. This will change the way the car drives from the beginning of the race compared to the end of the race. In other words the car isn't as consistent as it is with the vented cap and foam compensator. The whole goal of the vented setup is to provide more consistent handling. Not necessarily better handling, but more consistent handling, which to me is a huge win.

Have you guys watched the drake Losi video he shows how to build shocks with their new compensator foams he made it look so easy. Man when I rebuild it takes time maybe I'm going it wrong but to match them identical perfectly i normal have sucked down 4-5 beers for the set.
