Whats up with the O-ring on top of the shock threader?

Anybody quotes those ginormous pics they'll get 3 days off!.....for the love of god man.

It just covers the bleeder holes. Comes with the BB shocks.

LOL sorry, I didn't notice how big they are till right now. The pixels that comes from the iphone is huge which is why the photos came out so big. I just put them as links to save you guys from scrolling years xD

aw man, now you took all the fun out of it for me..

No, the oring that you have sitting on top of the threaded collars supposed to go inside the threaded collar. There is a groove that it sits in to prevent the collar from moving while driving.

3src is talking about the o-ring above the shock collar... why is it there??

......ya, what Matt said..

Wait does it go above or below the collar? I was wondering where it goes since it sat with no purpose.

EDIT: solved

It goes inside of the adjustment collar. Take the collar off and look inside of it u will see a little groove that the o ring goes in.

Just to be clear, what is the issue we are trying to solve on your buggy? I read that when your turning on power it just pushes?! Was there more to it?

Basically when I am doing a full lock turn and throttle through my turns, I tend to go wide unless I let go of the throttle.

I'm suspecting its due to the play that is coming from the ball turnbuckles as Waflet said about how the outer is locked but the inner wheel is wobbly.

When I drive, it just feels like my front wheels aren't as planted and I tend to go wayy to wide on turns and end up off the track >_>

What springs are you running? right tires for the track? make sure both steering links are the same length and adjust toe with both tie rods evenly.. aside from that, a little play from the inside wheel isn't a big deal and isn't your problem. Driving style with a 2wd buggy is much different than 4wd cars, it's more point and shoot.. watch other drivers and notice how slow and precise they make corners. It's actually faster that way even if it doesn't feel like it while driving

Nature of the beast really. It's not gonna turn as tight when you're on the gas. You can try loosening up your diff a hair.

I run black front and white rear. My tires are perfect for the track I run on. Tie rods are adjusted to be even both sides and are correct length. I have 2 other 4wd and this 2wd buggy. I can feel the differences in the car and I know for a fact I can drive my car. I run similar lines like everyone else if not faster. Just yesterday I was lapping people over and over and I was keeping up with local drivers who work there. Even though I don't get to practice as much since the track is located far from me, with a little time I can turn laps for a driver like me who doesn't go often seem unrealistic xD Even though I can turn laps quick, I just want my car to be set up as perfectly as I can get it. Although I know the play is not a fixable problem in the turnbuckles, but I'm just trying to see why I can't keep a consistent turns on the track. Just bugs me when I go wide and someone else can go on the inner line I was trying to run and pass by me.

Yup, not much I can do I guess. I'll be sure to try loosening my diff to see if I get better results next time.

Try this


advance timing to 40 degree
use 81/22 pinion
reduce EPA on Transmitter from 100% to 90% ..
install Triad

These changes will be smoother than a 8.5
