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.

What are the guys like Maifield and Caverleri doing to get their BB's working?
I am sure if they had problems they would have told AE?

So why aren't yours fine hmm. Maybe you don't know how to build a dam shock Jesus stop complaining about it already team associated wouldn't put something out on the market if it didn't work. Deal with it and build it right maybe the instructions will help.

If factory drivers are pulling them off of there cars after I a couple if runs, we can't really put the blame on lack of knowledge, can we? I know I called AE out on this, but there are enough customers and factory drivers who seem to know their sh*t that are having issues to merit "bitching" about this. Thanks for insulting everyone who is having issues. That helps, no really, it does. Awesome.

Also It wasn't pointed at you. And FYI I don't think any ae factory drivers pulled the shocks off of their cars because of problems.

The Big Bores work amazing and are built extremely well!! Having to rebuild your shocks on race day is normal for the guys looking for the perfect run!! I am assuming the o-rings will swell over a couple weeks and there will be no more air intruding the shock body creating rebound after a night of racing!!!!
