Hi guys,

So, I spent a lot of time doing a scavenger hunt around the internet and stumbled upon:

Teflon Coated Shock Bodies made by a company called Atomic

They were once upon a time sold at SpeedTech, but I've never seen them in stock. So I did a little digging...

I found Atomic's site and searched through all of Atomic's distributor websites around the globe and found them for sale in Spain of all places. Anyway, they cost about $40 US for a set of 4, plus about $10 US for shipping.

I wanted to share the wealth, so here is a link for those interested in upgrading their Xray shocks:

Tamiya shocks. Much easier to find, much cheaper, much easier to build, cheaper. There's really no downside to them. Ask Alvin

Haha!

Good point, Peter, good point. But it was fun doing the scavenger hunt nonetheless

Tamiya shocks are pretty awesome. Sam feels a little silly now I guess I'm a sucker for the adjustable pistons, I just think they're cool

Anyway... see you guys on Wednesday!

Peace,
Sam

I have used the Atomic teflon coated aluminum shock bodies numerous times. IMHO a very good upgrade over the stock plastic shock bodies. I found my shocks didn't require a rebuild nearly as often.
and they are an ok color too

That hilarious, gripgoat has been doing me a favor going to egr racing to get me some atomic stuff for micros (they are well known in the micro field).

EGR is the store front for atomic. However,looks like not in stock, but maybe another shop there has? Anyhow you'll have to ask gripgoat if he can or not. $40 is still cheaper than buying a set a new Tamiya TRF if they are $60+ ?

I haven't been getting it from EGR. There's a shop called Action Hobbies that's in the same neighborhood most of the other shops. Easier to get to.

Hey Guys!

So, I'm curious... is anyone planning to run Mod Touring before the end of the season? If so, I have a few questions:

-What motor do you recommend?
-What number of turns (for a Mod newbie)?
-What FDR for that type of motor/number of turns?
-What (if any) ESC settings need to be changed to run said motor?
-Will that same motor/number of turns be good outdoors as well this summer?

Peace + Burnin' Rubber!

Everyone's having to much fun in stock at the moment I think! Closer to the ECC you will see some wanting to race Mod

Thanks Kody!

I think you're right; stock is fun! Actually, a Reedy Sonic 5.0 was just what I was thinking in fact.

When is the ECC?

Peace,

Hey gang,
Good news, the bearing box is all topped off again except for the 1/4x3/8" unflanged. Swing by and see me Wed.

Hi Sean,

If you have any in stock, could you put an Xray Hard 6-Degree Right C hub in the Tub for me?

I ordered a pair of C hubs online, but the right one was for the T2'008 and so the hole in the hub where the axle goes was too small. The left one is fine. I guess Xray changed the mold in the past 4 years haha!

Thanks Buddy,
Sam

Here is the part number:

302375

P.S. If all you have are the Medium composite ones, please bring a pair (Left and Right 6 degree). Thanks again!

"But you guessed Wrong !",The T2007 and earlier Cars, had the "Smaller Diameter" opening in the C-Hubs. The 008>T3-2012 are all the same!

And BTW, some Xray drivers think the Composite Shock bodies are just fine, and in some cases, a better choice over the alloy "Upgrade".........(case in point, Ralph Burch's 2010 IFMAR 200mm Nitro TC world championship victory in Texas July heat ! It's rumored that the plastic shock bodies are less reactive to temperature changes and the 1 hour workout that a Nitro Sedan endures in a A Main).
