I'm in the process of rebuilding my shocks. Can anybody point me in the direction of the lower shock cap o rings? I bought rebuild kits but they aren't in there. Also, do shock bodies ever need replacing?

ASC31327 is the part number but those probably wont ever need replaced unless they just wear out or break... Probably why they're not in the kit.
You want a good "Bang for the buck" option: The Trackstar Turbo 120a ESC for $43!

Well unless it's just 17.5 stock but allows timing and boost so it doesn't have to be blinky 17.5 at my local track where I race

How's the buggy been running and racing?

Just bought a B5M Lite used but never used.
Did the build come with any extra's other than what goes directly on the vehicle during build?
For example:
were both rear hub links A & B included?
were both anti-squat inserts C&D included?
were both rear arm mounts c&d included?
spring cups - 0/5/9?
anything else ????
All I got what was the buggy itself- nothing else.
Thanks

I also found one of my rear shocks was completely out of oil but didn't come out from the top shock cap breing loose or something. So all that type of stuff has been ruled out by a ex sponsored racer but was in a rush so he didn't tell me how to fix it or if I have to rebuild it(which I have never done myself before, my buddy who moved 500 miles away recently built my whole kit for me.

Do you have the manual for your car? It explains the process well. There are also several videos on YouTube if you search for "RC Shock rebuild" or even "b5m shock rebuild" to get more specific.
Make sure the shock shafts are straight and in good condition. Also make sure to buy some shock oil if you don't have it. The manual will tell you which weight you need.

Roll the shafts on a flat surface to ensure they are straight.
The first page of this thread has a ton of links including the manual.
