I think you're missing the point. It's supposed to be cheap and simple with limited adjustability. Then again, with Hobbyking marketing a 4wd CF mini for $89, there seems to be no excuse for the price of Tamiya kits.

Anyway, rebuilding my dampers and I've just noticed the lining on the inside of the cylinders is completely gone in the area where the piston runs. Might be time to buy some new ones. I got these ones used in 2008. I don't think I've ever bought new dampers before.
