I would just like to know why AE didn't make the BBs exactly like the shocks used on the SC10 4x4, those shocks are great. I would also like to know why AE can't just put out a high demand product that just works. I know, bitching about it doesn't really help anything, but it's 2012, come on AE really. It should also be noted that I have had confirmation that the clear Kyosho x-rings do work. So that MAY indicated that there are some quality control issues where the components are manufactured. I don't know, just bummed that instead of seeing posts on how super awesome these BBs are, there is nothing but debating on how to get them to simply work properly. What a bunch of horse sh*t. For those of you not having issues, sorry for the post.
