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?

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.

Put some scale stuff in there to get the 6 points. Not gonna run a spare to save weight. Just gotta finish the interior sometime.

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.
