Hss bits can be sharpened to a scary sharp edge. Carbide (and other bits known to keep an edge longer) can't be sharpened as well. They just start out duller but keep their dull edge longer. Hss bits can start out sharper but need to be resharpened more often.
Lol. I think I misred HSS as HASand was like "what?"

Only way to positively make a leak-proof scx shock is to find a used set of discontinued egressor shock bodies or buy the new Rcbros delrin bodies which are the same as the egressors.
You can use thicker o-rings but they will still leak and that will only make the shock stick more during travel which is a big no no esp when the rig is vertical and on the verge of unloading.
I dont mind refilling them once a month or so until I decide to switch to the delrin bodies"thumbsup"

Glad you got the CF! Can't wait to see it on ur rigs..
As for the shocks.. just use the green slime an 3 o-rings per shock, instead of the little black spacer(how I run mine with 0 problems). Or even a thicker spacer could work.. I saw someone post that up. Either way, it creates a tighter fit for the o-rings an keeps leaks away.
