no you put big bore springs on your v2 shocks. I run the losi springs alot of people are now going to the avid springs i guess they are better. You have to buy different shock collars and springs cups to put these springs on.

The stock bushing has over .030 clearance between the shock shaft and the bushing. This means the seal is supporting the shaft. This means the shaft is supported by the orings alone with makes them do double duty. When you compress the shock at a high rate the shaft wants to move sideways. Because of this the shock compresses the orings to the side and causes minor sticktion. My bushings are made to support the shaft and let the seal do what it was designed to do. Just as in the full size world. If you take a MX shock they do not support the shaft with a seal but a bushing.
The bushings I have are cnc machined out of PTFE Pure Teflon so they are ultra slick. This also adds to the cost but if your going to make it right pick the right material.

Pegasus is the track. I asked around the other day, but most of what I was told went over my head. I am pretty new to setups.
The track is dirt and I am running the correct tires for it (Holeshots). Would adding some weight to the chassis help? I tried things like loosening the diff and the slipper clutch but it didn't seem to help. I borrowed a Proline Bulldog wing and it helped quite a bit but I still feel like I am leaving a lot of time on the track with my loose rear end. I am only running a 17.5 and thought I should be able to pin the throttle going down the straight (if I pin it coming out of the corner before it, the rear end comes around.

Easy throttle, tip toe corner exits, carry corner speed before the triple. ymmv

I have GHEA collars/22 buckets on my SC10, my 4.1 uses traxxas collars and buckets no problem. And Avid steering.
