I've seen the ones of Kyosho ST-RR and they are indestructible, do they fir on our car?

Do they weigh much, as they seem to be thick rubber.


in the X1 days those little foams would fill up with Junk and scratch the crap out of the shaft....I would personally not recommend those Cups.

They make the truck jump better. The wind tunnel test confirms it. And they improve turning less Co drag on the arm. And you are guarenteed a podium finish there's a gold cert in the package.

Man I'm JK

The best benifet is that they fit without any mod and no additional holes needed.

Your brake pads will last longer, since you use less brakes.

I used them for the first time two weekends ago at JBRL Round 3. They fit perfectly and kept all the mud and dirt off my rear arms and shocks. Great product for sure.

Hell Frank. I knew there was a reason why I haven't been driving well lately!!! This must be it. We'd better keep this mod all to ourselves.

im with you, anytime i do the shocks i replace them, one thing that helps is putting ae green slime OR some kind of lube on the shock end, it slides right over the end.

also ive noticed since getting the shock mod done the fluid stays cleaner longer too. Ive rebuilt my shocks twice now since getting the mod done and the oil has been pretty clean so thats less i gotta rebuild the shocks unless i notice handling difference

This is a setup that was run on a Euro track, should put you in the right direction.
