i'll give those guys a ring and see if they could help me out.
i really hope katsumi comes back and tells me that he was out of the country, or something personal. he was a great guy with quick service. i would hate to see that go.

Hey guys I built my buggy well over a month ago and didn't get much of a chance to run it but 5 minutes. Grab it from the bench today to find 3 of the 4 shocks leaking. Never have a messed up building shocks but who knows. I built them to manual spec with shock slime and all. Anyone else have this issue? Maybe it just needs to be ran. Also do associated o rings fit in the Yok shocks? Thanks

No leaks here, never used slime. Double check the order you put all the orings.and spacers in. Thats all I can suggest.
Cheers

Never had to rebuild or even refill them. You got to get used to that after three years of cheapish SCTs!

did you guys check the edges of the caps and anywhere else where the o-rings would be seated? sometimes there could be a sharp edge or a piece of metal sticking out that could nick the o-ring.

Selling a brand new in box BMax 2 that includes e new HD outdrives from Yokomo. Intended to make this a shelf queen but I'm moving and trying to reduce clutter so I'm going to sell it instead.

First test run with the Speed Passion 7.5R with kit gearing today. Did not change much from my usual set-up, just moved the shorty more to the front, and fitted some dBoots Multybyte with Schumacher Tubby inserts in the rear. I had to loosen the slipper a bit, but that was it already. The B-Max2 was still as easy to drive as with the 13.5R, but much faster, of course. Have I got to mention I'm in love with this car?
Shortly after arriving home, the package with my 1° hub carriers and some spares (that I'll probably never need...) arrived. Part quality of the hub carriers is typical of Yokomo - perfect! I hope the Associated TC5 servo mounts I ordered arrive soon. The servo saver loosens occassionally after an impact, and I fear that the threads in the plastic mounts will wear out at some point in time; oh, and some additional *bling* never hurts!
update: car is even better with the 1° hub carriers and 3° on the inside!

I haven't raced on clay/dirt for a while, but you could try some PL Hole Shots or Calibers or JC Double Dees. If the surface is rather soft, JC Goosebumps could work.
