I'm loving them on the truggy. They really do make the shocks more consistent. They're recommended for both cars.

And the shock was pretty much new, alan gave me a new set of shocks when i had mine modded, he has great customer service btw
Air pressure behind the bladder changes as the air heats up. This makes rebound change and in turn ride height changes as well. Losi cars are very sensitive to ride height changes. When the shocks heat up in a long race without the vented caps, the ride height changes during the race. This will change the way the car drives from the beginning of the race compared to the end of the race. In other words the car isn't as consistent as it is with the vented cap and foam compensator. The whole goal of the vented setup is to provide more consistent handling. Not necessarily better handling, but more consistent handling, which to me is a huge win.
