Those shock pistons sound like the deal Giz !! The X-Ray forum boys on this RCTech site are going on about some new magnetic shocks coming onto the market soon. They use opposing polarity magnets to dampen - I hear they are pretty good too. All this new technology is wicked. We are lucky to be involved with this sport in these times.
You had a legitimate excuse for the MG66 mate - your engine expiring etc (plus it was your birthday too

) If one of my engines was even the slightest bit suspect right now, there would be one sitting in my buggy next week !!

Can't wait to get some reports in on the 66's once they have been broken in.
I reckon they are going to turn a lot of heads
