Rig is looking good. How do the kyosho shocks feel to you? I am looking for a nice shock for my scaler.

They are nice shocks, smooth, leak free, and good looking. I ran them on my comp rigs for a while before going to scx shocks for their size.

Not to sound like a dick, but its the best stuff I've ever put out. Still, I'm never happy. Always room for improvement.
