Default shock bladders

Has anyone found a different bladder that fits these cap well. The stock bladderes seem to be too stiff and hard for my taste. Seem like a softer more flexible bladder would offer better performance. I like a bit of rebound in shocks so am sticking to bladders for now

I know Krio used a Caster 13mm shock bladder on his. They are definitely more supple. I plan to just stay emulsion.

I just got my MTK basket in last night and it looks great. I have my truck tore down and getting ready for the winter indoor season. I put the outside slipper dish and it fell right into the basket but I have not installed it on the truck yet. I have pics of it in the basket so I hope u guys can open them up I dont know how to put pics on here like everyone else.

edit: sorry for them being out of focus I used my cell phone

I'm not totally sure what your question is but the outer slipper pad should have an OD that is small enough to fit inside the basket like in your photos.

No question someone had a pic on here a few pages back showing his not lining up right but I think it might have been his spur gear that the basket,disc and outer plate not alining right.

Received the chassis brace from Billy and installed it last night. It is hard to believe the difference. Tried the push on the shock towers with and without the brace while the belt covers were removed. Wow. I cannot help but think the setup for the truck with the brace will need to be drastically different compared to without it.

Are you liking your 4000kv 540 4 pole tekin motor? Any want for the 4600? I want to get 1 or the other. I'm running a 550 4.5 right now, I like it a lot but I just want to try the power of a 4 pole
