straight froms pecks fingers...LOL..............

After each race I remove the body/wing, wheels, radio box, motor, and fuel tank. I spray 50/50 water/simple green in and outside of tank, then spray rest of chassis down not getting it in receiver or servos. then simply rinse off with water and blow off with compressed air. hope this helps.

LMAO, rince with hot water over and over, blow out with compressed air, let sit and dry over night.

what about dry gas?:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Bladders leaking is likely a large part of your issue. Bladders have a big impact on the way a shock functions. If they're leaking, you pretty much end up with an emulsion shock as opposed to a bladder compensated shock and that isn't ideal, especially if you're still building them like a bladder compensated shock.

I would also try some thicker fluid. 25wt is a bit thin in the truck from what I've found, especially in the summer months. I typically run 30, 32.5 or 35wt oil in the rear shocks on my truck. 32.5 is always a good starting place.

The best overall shock package I've found for the rear of the truck is 32.5wt fluid, #56 pistons, Grey springs and vented EU caps w/ foam compensators. The vented cap + foam goes a long way to making the shocks more consistent. Once you learn the way they like to be built they are super consistent and very easy to build. Just be aware if your bladders leak with the vented caps, all of your oil will go bye bye. You have to keep a closer eye on them when running vented caps.

That should take care of the issue.;)

thats what i meant is 35wt (stupid fingers). hopefully my parts will be here by saturday, if not ill race the AE rear shocks. dint do bad last big event, i normaly come in 3rd, buggy and truggy where hooked right up so took 2nd in both!!

RC racer almost 20 yrs, and really old, bout 61..

:confused:, your about 61?

Yep, ask Casey, know him well.

RC addition is tough one, just can't kick it.

Just asked Casey personally about cleaning inside the tank ,he even said cleaning inside with water isn't the best idea.

LOL, i dont know if i would beleive casey...:lol:, Race with him every week. he got me into pan cars for a minute, i bought a sweet somthing or other (he told me to buy) and he took me to a race a few hours south from gaylord, mi, i got lapped 3 times in one lap i did...LMAO!!! those guys where doing like 3 second laps to my 12 second laps! sold it on here the night we got back:lol::lol:

Wow ,since when is Tucson in michigan.

Funny, he calls me from his hobby shop anytime he need a nitro awnser. he has a number of customers that come in with questions about nitro and calls me while they are standing there waiting for a awnser. he does know anything and everything about electric cars/trucks but when it comes to nitro hes knows nothing, ask him and he will tell you. i set his nitro truggy up for him last year (for free of course, you know casey) but he dint seem to like the nitro to much, maybe to much work for the manager of mcdonalds...LOL

Are we talking about the same person? Casey Peck, Team Losi Driver.

thought you knew the same casey i do, he owns a hobby shop in upper michigan, his user name here is promatchracer.:lol:
