Voodo, I guess it all depends on how often you drive your car, how rough the driving as well as the track is and how good you want your car set-up to be.

i have one shock on the rear which always seems to be softer that the rest if i leave for a week or so i have checked it for leaks and the little holes on the piston seem to be the same as the others is this usuall?
Of course its not usual but are you using the losi shock tool to determine that it IS "softer" than the others?

P.S For 'D' i have run the new rear diff now for about 4 tanks and it has fallen to bits! it started with the 3 pins that hold the adjuster to the diff coming out all at one then diff moves from side to side because it seems to thin! Going back to the standard "No frills" diff maybe a bit rougher to turn but at least i know it will do the job!
Master D ... yours to answer!
