Hi guys, the 1/18th AE shocks have worked great on my 12th car. They don't leak or fall apart after a hit. If you think that it's made to be durable enough for an off road car, then it will certainly be durable enough for a 12th on road car.

As for end point adjustment, I have the steering travel set at 100%, then adjust the end points just below the amount needed NOT to make the servo buzz at full lock. Then I steer full left (with the car on a tape join or something similar) and push the car 180 degrees around. Then I turn the car around at that point, steer full right and then push it back to where it started from. Hopefully, it will return back to the original position on the tape join. If not, I turn down the side needed and do the whole thing again until the car returns to the start point. I then turn the steering down to about 75% and do the whole process again just to check that all is well. When I get to a track, the overall steering is set to get around the tightest corner so not to scrub any speed off by having to much steering lock. Sometimes this means that if I have an accident and end up facing the wrong way, I don't have enough steering lock to get the car facing the right way!
