Hey everyone,I'm using the csi blue Pistons on my truck and buggy right now,they seem to work pretty well. Is their anything to be gained by using the fiorini two stage Pistons on a rough outdoor clay track?

Did anyone post a shock/diff oil comparison chart?
Maybe I saw it in another thread. Planing on using Losi oils

This will get you close when going from CPS to WT and WT to CPS:

PT Racing oils has a nice chart comparing losi oils to there oils rating.

There are also a few guides out there for AE oils to losi oils, and AE also puts both ratings on there bottles.


speaking of which, if anyone is looking for a lot of Losi oils, shoot me a pm, converted here and will be selling a variety.

Not sure of the source of this. As far as the AE to Losi, this does seem to conform to what I hear others claim.

Yeah, if the PT data on other brands is correct, it's a bit disturbing. I have a bunch of the PT on the way to try.

Here is the one I use when talking Losi to CST. And as mentioned above, AE puts the CST rating on their bottle.

Anyone knows if the SCT410 turnbuckles are the same for the EB48.2?
Anyone tried Lunsford titanium kit?

OK...NEED HELP!

Finishing up this build and have an issue with the clearance of the nut on the end of the screw that goes through the steering arm and through the hub. It gets stuck on the A arm. When the car is sitting normal without compressing the shocks it looks like the following... when I push the chassis flat it clears without a problem. I checked the and rechecked and I believe it is assembled correctly. Per the instruction, the initial bumpsteer setting two washers above and below the steering ball link. I took one washer out from above and below to see if that would help, but it didn't... I made sure I am using the correct ball with the flange faced correctly. I hope I explained it correctly and the picture helps. Thanks for any help you could lend!!

The nut isn't seated in the hub properly. It should be much deeper.....

It's a loose fit, and might have popped out when you put the screw in, then partially pulled in when you tightened it. You should be able to just barely see the top of the nut when it's fully seated.

I don't remember the nut sticking out that far on the bottom. Is that a washer on it that I see? I thought the nut seats into the hub arm there...I will check mine when I get home.
