3) Do you use the black foams in the top of the shock bladder?
4) And how much rebound do you have in your shock please?

It's a hand modification a few of us have been doing. You have to drill 2 new holes for a standard toe block, so go in place of the pivot block. You also need to grind the toe block that you are using to allow clearance for the belt, and for the steering links.

By doing this you can adjust the width of the car from the hinge pins. If you go back a page or two, Hiro and I go more in depth on what this does for the car itself.

I use Losi oil, Hara says it's the best! I have no clue what it is equivalent to in much more oil. I've only ever used AE or Losi.

I'm running 100% rebound on that setup, and yes I do use the foams. If the car seems really edgy and such, go thicker on oil or use less rebound.
