My B4 shocks squeek, My 22 shocks squeek. I think they all pull a little air. B4 shocks are no better or worse then the 22 shocks. I change the oil after 2-3 race days. I also hand tighten the cap without any seepage. Maybe I am doing something wrong but they work for me.

Nice build but something tells me that receiver is one nose dive away from a Futaba order.

But landings are softer with a loose slipper, Cherry said so.

AARRGG!! I missed that they were released. Guess that's why you have to read every post every day I know what I'm going to be spending $17 on in the next few days I really wish I had have seen that last week, I just ordered a bunch of stuff for the big race this weekend. They would have been a great addition. Dang it!

Question, just got this buggy last week.. I'm running Maifields setup on the same track his setup was for.. everything is great but I have an off power push in tight corners.. would open cell foams in the front make it push compared to a profiled foam?

Setup I'm running..

Open Cell front tires will give it more steering everywhere. How many runs do you have on your buggy? I would break it in a bit before tuning on it too much. Are the tires broke in yet?

What does one have to do with the other?

Ya I thought it would give me more steering as the open cells allow the sidewall to flex more.. have 3 heats on the front tires. I'm running 17.5 stock.. everything else is great on the buggy, I can full throttle out of corners and it stays straight and comes off jumps feeling very balanced. Would moving my battery foams to the front of the battery, so it is seated in the rear, help steering? I've seen some people running 14g or so behind their servo..
