Wow that's thick! I'm running 50k & 5k, 25wt all around...my truck is a little too planted for me at my track so I'm going to go down in front fluid to get it to rotate a little more...maybe try 30k.

During the main, the screw backed out of the front left shock, the shaft popped out and busted off the bottom cap of the cartridge. It's part of the 91054 list and I don't see anywhere I can actually get that part for a few weeks...all on back/pre order until the end of May.

I didn't find the cartridge in stock anywhere yet, unfortunately.
I have, however, rebuilt the shocks removing the lower x-ring of the cartridge on all 4 shocks. While doing this I have pretty much come to the conclusion that the bottom cap of the cartridge is only there to hold the bottom x-ring in place, so I've just re-assembled the 'broken' one and there seems to be no leakage. It's still not very smooth so I'll be replacing the cartridge when they are available, but at least it'll let me run the local 'big race' that starts tomorrow.

I don't know how many people will be there for this one, but I'll try to give the SC10 4x4 a good showing

thanks for all the guys that replayed. I had to go back and fwd with my building as I was missing the bag 11, and one of my shocks came with the shock cartridge seal cap splinted so it leaks and and doesn't hold the o'ring...... AE have it in back order..... Almost buying another set of shocks from other brand, any input on this?????????

This was my findings
The AE truck is just as light as AE originally said it was. 6lbs

If your running it in front of your house the stock tires will be perfect. If your racing at a track, the best thing to do is find out what tire everyone else is using. The stock rims work fine. I ran DE racing SCTe rims with some HB beams are they were super stuck to the track...you gotta know what you need first before you get it
.
.I realize that this dictates the type of tire but I would love it if you could link me to the tires you bought so I know Im getting the right size
Thanks

Size is 2.2/3.0 i think any tire that dictates SC fits. but the tread type also depends on your track surface.
