Thanks ittybitty
Oh.....Your Tire combo is very sticky and hooks the rock well
Thanks again
What springs are you running in the rear?
Guess I find out tomorrow.....
Hey Jeremy......
Yes i am using the stock o-ring but my tolerances are so tight I wonder if I have to.............hmmm
May have to try one without to see if it leaks
Shipping you some next week ;-)

I was swapping out the oil in a few of the Velvet shocks on my Sportsman truck the other day and noticed that it didnt have the o-ring in the cap....I guess I accidentally left it out last time I opened it up. It hadn't leaked a drop. "thumbsup"
Oh, and thanks. ;-)

I've run the Kyosho shocks on my SC10 with the bottom screw in retainer for the o-ring pack on the collar for a full 7 minute race and didnt leak any oil, so not having the upper o-ring would likely lead to similar results, Kyosho builds some very nice tolerances in.
Rick, truck looks great...though we need to try it on the Vert rock from hell. So far not many can, but I think yours will be good on it with those tires. (Also more importantly you got an important email in your inbox "thumbsup")

WOW....:shock:
That's good to know
But are you running them upside down?
I'll let you test........;-) lol
Adding a supprise with your Shock Caps (Hint.....look below)
I've been at "Larry's" every day since I got her done
3 to four hours a day practicing with "Old Tim" and "XJFarmer"
If the "Vert Rock from Hell" is the one at the corner of the course, then
I can tell you that I was finally able to get over it several times today.....8)
But its no easy task !!
"Old Tim" & "Farmer" have helped me dial in my radio based on "Harley's" setup (Thanks Harley) "thumbsup"
And I think I finally have the gist of things but I need to practice more and more to be able to hang with you guys ;-)
Got the email...............Cant wait
Best Regards

Jeff (mustangboy_347) showed me some cool spacers at the last comp
so I made up a bunch out of 16th" Brass as I needed to space my wheels out
about a 16th to keep my tires from rubing on my steering rod ends........Thanks Jeff ;-)

A few ppl have PM'd me asking for the "EYE to EYE" measurements on the
KYOSHO shocks in the Compressed & extended posission.......
So here ya go ;-)
