Probably with enough tweaking, but having a D8 I found I preferred Losi shocks over the D8 shocks so much I put Losi 8 shocks on my Hot Bodies D8.

Not needed at all.Upgrade to the new scte shock parts and never look back!If Your truck has not been lightened and You run a very rough track with 1/8 scale jumps and 1/8 scale electronics(3 cell and 1/8 motors) than Maybe you will see some advantage!

No one Said Anything about running Mobile 1 Style Grease in the diffs.

Red and Tacky #2... nuff said! Besides I have seen it for myself after opened Mobile 1 grease will separate if not used after a while. Make matters worse is it will then leak it's less viscous contents through the gun and onto the floor.

It puts the lotion on the skin...

Try the 2.0 rod ends , use the 2.0 ball mounts that go to the shock towers , then use the HA balls on the rest.

The HA ball set will drastically increase the life of having very little play in your ends...the stock ends are good, its the balls that wear too fast. Get these and it should alleviate most slop for a long time to come.

I've tryed the low friction 22 tlr orings in the SCTE shocks, they're too loose and let air in and oil out.I'm going to try Kyosho P5 or P6 o-rings.

My rear diff is starting clicking loudly on hard braking, as if the mesh between the ring and pinion gear is off. Are the necessary shims availablye without the aluminum gearbox inserts?

Check your rear drive shaft pinion bearings. Thats causing the clicking noise. The bearing may be worn out, causing your drive shaft+pinion gear to wobble, making your ring and pinion gear "click" on hard braking and hard acceleration.

mine did that for the longest time until i got the aluminum gearbox inserts... part of the problem is that the diff will twist a little under hard braking...

Same thing just happened to me and I can confirm it was the inner pinion bearing.

Thanks guys, there really is more play in it than before, I'll change the bearings.
