The fix I found was to make sure the holes are round and the right size by
drilling or exacto knife. Then replace the bottom oring with an Ofna 1/8th
shock oring and replace the top oring with an SC10 2wd oring packing both
with RED Mobile 1 synthetic grease.

This makes shocks smooth and free in movement and they don't leak.

Hope this helps you & others"

Thanks AE! However, the posts themselves have an odd 1/2 inch 'cobra head' offset, which pushes the Slash body either a half inch too far forward or rearward depending on which direction you install the offset. Straight posts would be perfect and all your old Slash bodies will drop right on without having to drill any new holes. I sure would like to slap whoever spoiled perfection by making the silly offset posts, lol. Does anyone know of any straight square body posts from another vehicle that would slip into the square hole of these body mount brackets?

Is there a problem mounting different manufacturers tires to the wheel? Just curious because I am going to load up on a variety of Proline tires and if there is no problem with the stock wheels, Associated's stock wheels are what I will buy instead of having trouble fitting other wheels.

If your slipper thrust spacer is thinner, than I would suggest finding some 6mmX1mm think washers and try adding them to the outside of the slipper thrust washer.
Hope this helps
