We (Track Star) will be offering diff o-ring upgrades very soon. They were supposed to be here before the Nationals for us to test and get into the hands of some top drivers to see how they worked for them but alas they showed up Friday here at the shop. Sooo... we will get these installed and tested this week and report back when we will have these available.

On a side note Kody Numendahl was the highest finishing AE 4x at the Nats and was running our shock o-rings. Not that they specifically helped him get such a great finish but that they do work and are trusted by top pro's.

last weekend i could consistantly overjump the step-on-step-off triple with the clutch basket..get it and dont look back!!

Yeah, just use the same brand if you want consistent results. My LHS sells mostly Ofna, and I've been able to compare it to the FT oil...they didn't seem to be quite the same consistency even though they claimed 5000wt.

i heard they made the track more SC friendly, meaning smaller jumps.

Tekin Pro4

Thinking that I want to try one of these new motors:
http://teamtekin.com/Pro4.html

For the SC10 4x4
What motor would work best on a 1/8th scale outdoor track with big jumps?

What motor would work best on a tight indoor clay track?

I preordered the 4600 while keeping in mind you can always tune down a motor much easier than tune one up. But if you were too get one for each track specifically 4600 for the large tracks on 2s, 4000 for the tight ones on 2s, and 3300 for 3s applications.
