quick question guys
for the front shocks
the top nut that screws in from the front of the car
when screwed in all the way(nut inside the shock cap), is that a lot of play in the shocks? i can move mine a good 3-4mm back and forth =/

Your bushings are worn they should spin not move forward or back

the bushings are staying put, the cap itself along with the shock move

Same link they also include the Shock standoff's which are what the bushings go over and there is a lip to keep the bushings in place. Maybe the shock cap bushings hole is reamed out to where it's going over the bushings and the lip of the shock standoff.
Here are the standoff's

yes it does need to be flanged .they do wear out and its the flange that wears,so they get sloppy.i also use a nylon washer before i put the nut on,seems to keep them tight longer.dont forget theres a front and back to the shock caps.they only fit really good one way.

for those with leaking diff problems. I have used a gasket maker. Right now I am using some yamabond from the motocross days. A thin film on the gaskets and no more leaks. Dont use to much so it dont squish into the diff.
neither the slash or rc8b leak now

So I finished putting my kit together today, wired up the speedo and the motor... noticed the center diff was leaking. 
So when you guys sand the diff sealing surface do you just sand on say, emery cloth on a flat surface? Or a bigger piece of fine sandpaper?
Is there really any type of torque spec for the diff itself?
