Fred you know better than to dump a good book ! that nerd stuff is awesome.
I remember when I got my hands on Kyosho gold shocks with bladders. Wow were they a great shock. Of course there were aftermarket bladders for RC10 shocks so we used those too. They were butter smooth and seemed to hold there tune a little longer. Funny how times change.
