RC8 bog bore shock mounting problem
I just ran my first day on my big bores on my RC8. The problem I'm having is that I can't tighten the shocks down on the tower very much. The locknut sinks into the shock cap so far that you can't get ahold of it to get it off. And if you don't tighten it down very much it puts to much strain on the screw.
I'm putting a blue bushing on the inside of the shock cap, and a locknut on the outside. That's how I was told to do it, but it either leaves, what to me seems like to much play like that. Is there a better way to mount them.

The Dynamite brand and the ones from Hobby City, both fit with no problems as well. The whole design they used is a little strange to me too, were the nut is almost completely hidden.
