Optimum: Did you do a little grinding as well as the 1mm spacing on the shocks?

Looks like Dustin is using Endust instead of Pledge? Maybe Endust has less drag coefficient?

You just opened that debate again. Pledge vs. endust vs. WD40. This will go on for 2-3 pages. Thanks..

I took the sc10 battery foam and cut in half and it seems to work pretty good, takes a little bit of force to compress the foam to push the battery in but not too much to worry about cutting more foam off.

With the softer springs that should be less likely to happen

At sdrc, not sure if i already told you what im running but kyosho white front, 32.5 ae oil, #2 piston, 3 limiters. rear kyosho gold, 30w ae oil #2 piston, 2 limiters. If you need even more steering try the pink kyoshos. Note on the pistons im running ghea tapered pistons with the taper facing upwards. Not sure if its better then stock ae pistons or non tapered gheas but its what i had and it works but i need to compare to stock #2 pistons.

Im sure in the next month this will be discussed a lot. Im going to guess you will run the same springs as you would run if you are running the big bore springs that are on your v2's. As far as oil that depends on what pistons you are running.

Seeing that the only people that have them are the team guys maybe this question will be best asked again in a week or two when everybody else gets ahold of them.
