There are two new brake levers on the parts tree with the new radio tray, they have a two on them. They pull forward instead of push backward.

8 hole conical piston maybe a stupid question but is the tamper face installed going on the up travel of down travel.

Big thanks to Absolute Hobbies. I made an order Wednesday evening and got my parts in the mail a few minutes ago. Thanks for the decals also.

Tapered bit goes down. You can actualy mount it both ways for different characteristics, but I think 99% of the drivers mounts it tapered bit down.

Go thing I askedcause I had the tamper installed upwards meaning looking into the shock body your see the tamper portion. Will make the change.

So you will have a smoother compression when she absorbs correct. I bought some 8 1.3 con pistons having a lot of chassis slab bought some purple spring for front and rear plan to try 37.5wt front and 35WT rear.

I'm sure it's been answered before but the search feature didn't result in much. Who handles the swapping out of the v1 radiotray's for the v2?

So the tampered side will face upwards. I had it correct you will get the smoothness on the damper. I bought some pistons off ebay it doesn't have a grove for the washer. So if your looking into the shock the tampered face will face you.
