I just used some old AE O-rings. Don't recall exactly what part they were, either a 1/8 or 1/10 off road... The ones I used fit just snug in the outdrive. They limit the play a bit, but no too much as you need a decent amount play for chassis flex. The O-rings just give a soft cushion for the center shafts to bounce off instead of metal to metal. It's worked good so far.

I have wrote about this subject many times over within this thread and many others, so I don't want to blow it anymore in this particular thread.
But long story short they are capacitors made to hook to your ESC parallel to your battery input terminals. They will reduce voltage ripple and will keep your electronics more stable and much cooler over all. It is cheap and one of the best things you can do for any ESC on any electric RC platform period.
And here is a link to one of the better cap packs offered IMO, due to it including a diode on the board as well to prevent voltage spiking from reversing polarity.

I know I put the ESC backwards from the way most of you do...

This is my experience as well. I just live with that slow 1/2 rebound that results. I have not been able to achieve 100% dead. An experienced 1st place racer told me how to do it but I wasn't able to get perfect dead. I'll have to ask him again or maybe we'll just build one at the track.

I had difficulty getting consistent results with the stock shocks. The edge of the bladders is fairly thick which makes it difficult for me to snug the stock plastic caps consistently. My solution is different bladders. I have found that Mugen MBX6 bladders work very well as a substitute. I get consistent results every time. I am able to achieve 0 rebound, and the bladders work well with the stock pistons for my needs. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the Tekno bladders. All I'm saying is so far I get better results this way.

Vented shocks have the hole drilled on the top. The bleeder hole is on the side. If you slowly screw on the cap allowing the oil to come out and continually wipe it clean you should be able to get 0 rebound. Screw on a little and wipe, screw on a little more and wipe. This method works for me.

cap
mines setup same as yours with the cap pack taped to the floor in between the motor and speedo.. theres just enough room
I'm considering adding the HW cap pack just as a precaution. Haven't had any problems, but can't hurt right? Question is, where do you put the cap pack? Space is tight on these cars. Just zip-tie / shrink wrap it on the battery lead?

Do you happen to have a picture of how the cap is installed? I tried finding info on it and haven't had any luck... no idea how to install the damn thing.. ><

cap
yep will try take one later when home, but it is easy to do, the red wire from the cap soldered to the + battery post on the esc and the black - wire soldered to the - battery post on the esc.

cap
its hard to photograph as its tucked under the wires stuck on the chassie with a bit of double sided esc tape and the wires run up and are soldered to the top of the posts

Thanks a lot for taking the time to take pics and explain! I'll finally get that setup this weekend, thanks man.
