I put the triangles orange ones in my rear for the un-Stuck and used 2000wt oil, you would never even know it was that thick but so smooth. | |

Do those knuckle weight require special wheels? Did they require any modification to fit the rc bros hangers? which pistons are you running? Very nice.

I know Barry went with 10,000 and he liked it on the two pros hes done. I wanna say though 2000 felt like 70 in my pro rig with the stock machined ones for comparison but smoother. The diff fluids dont seem to thin out with the heat like normal shock oils or maybe its just because theyre silicone based. And Im running green springs like you. Interested to hear though what you think of your choice once you get it together. | |

Lookin' good! My un-stuck skid didn't look like that..... time to put it on the mill! The different shape pistons remind me of old (1990ish) buggy shocks. They would have an octagon design for oil passages instead of holes. They wore out very quickly in racing conditions. |

Ok, i got side tracked building styrene shop stuff...... but got some time to cut and tang some uni's, and do up the electronics... Also got a set of BossClaws for it, soon as i got them, i narrowed them up.....  also got a bit of motivation to make some 1/4" alum. links... saved me about 32 bucks that could be spent on my berg or scaler...  i might go for the Wraith VP weights, dont know yet.... thanx for lookin............ |
