Yes, just take's much longer, along with the obvious mess involved.

I'm not wild about downstop screws in 1/10th scale 2wd offroad. I like the overall simplicity of the vehicles as compared to 4wd and 1/8 scale. Also, I once I figure out how many limiters I need to keep the spring seated without adding preload, I never change it again. One less adjustment to double check before a race. 4 less screws in my car to come loose. 4 less holes.

I would prefer them as if you need to see how a downstop change would work, you can quickly do that and then later add in the shims to the shocks if you like, versus having to tear the shocks apart to do the same thing.

standard set-up for the front shocks on a T4 is 5 limiters. You're just doing what you're suppose to do..

Standard set up is 2. http://www.teamassociated.com/pdf/ca...ndard_2009.pdf

I had to purchase more limiters to increase the amount. RTR does not include additional limiters.

The FT kit may call for 5 spacers, but the rtr only comes with and calls for 2.

Either way, I'm glad to know I did it correctly without knowing anything about the FT set up.
