The local points series started today. Not a lot of class 1 guys. Mostly class 2. But I did take first in class 1 today. But before I was running it I the house just watching and noticed the outside front tire rolling over themselves when turning. I don't think I have enough caster set on the axles. Can some of you guys post up a shot of your knuckle so I can compare to mine? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Update on the rsd shocks: They puked oil out before I could even run them. I just left them nasty for the couple comps I've been in now. They did ok but kept sticking. I thought I had them leaned out too much at the top because my body mount and my inner fender pushed them out. So I ground the inside of the shock tower thinner but that didn't really help. I took them off and rebuilt them. Packed them full of green slime and switched the piston the the one with 2 slots instead of 4. Still using 30wt oil. They feel a ton better. I was looking at the top ball and its plastic. It smashed when I tightened everything up and wasn't allowing the top of my shock to pivot. I swapped them for some aluminum ones I had from an old sawback shock. Fit perfect. The shocks work so much better now. No more sticking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Haven't really done anything to the truck except drive it. After rebuilding the rsd shocks again they haven't leaked. The piston with 2 holes is almost perfect. We had a local Crawler 4 Kids comp a couple weekends ago. I must have gotten something in my motor because it locked up before I even hit the course. Still took second with a smoking motor. But I realized I needed a smaller pinion. I bought a 12t and ran 3 hours yesterday on a Rc4wd 35t boost motor. Got a little warm so I bought a 10t pinion to try. I also got some ottsix 4.19 a/t to try. They are hard to clean out in mud but I bet they work amazing on dry rock. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
