No vapor lock, and the shock acts like there is 3/4 rebound.Ran at the track for another 6 1/2 hours today with no breakage or failure
I ran with my homade swaybars, and it made a big difference in the corner speed I could carry witout traction rolling. I noticed the belt had stretched a little more, and am now running the suggested set up from the manual. I ran Gladiators on protrac rims after the track had been watered and they HOOK UP with some serious forward bite. And I also bought and tried some Proline Snipers on Slash rear offset for the heck since the Losi guy runs the wider offset tires, and they do make the truck more stable. The Snipers are glued to the track when its dry.

On another note, I experienced some heat problems with my motor (1410 16/62) due to the slipper being to loose, too much slippage created some heat, then glazed the pads over. Got it all taken care of now. I will be at the track tomorrow
Isn't this the same as putting the cap on say half way (so the bladder isn't sealed to the shock body with the cap) and bleeding the shock through the bottom bleed hole in the cap? Put cap on, push piston up and then tighten the cap all the way..?
