I know a lot of people that run Tamiya shocks on Xray cars. If the new Top shocks are as good as people say they are compared to Tamiya shocks, then run them.
Interesting comments, thanks. I've been using Xray shocks for four years and haven't had any problems with building and maintaining them. I gave up on the adjustable pistons a couple of years ago and haven't looked back. Caps are vented allowing 0 to 25 percent rebound. Bleeding them out the bottom is easy.
Checked A-Main for available Photon springs. It appears there are two "13" sets (soft and hard). The "14" set has a decent spacing, but what do you do if you need a spring in the 23 lb/in to 27 lb/in range? It appears there aren't any; OR, the kit comes with two spring sets in that range?
The IIC is creeping up and really need to get a jump on this stuff before I get the kit. Thanks for any help.
