Hello guinness,
regarding your concerns about plastic gears.
here is a picture of mine after 25 battery use with a 8.5t on astro and grass.
i will put them back in and see how long they will last.

They still look pristine!

I had the same problem with the blue o-rings even with green slime. They leak badly already on the bench. No good as it will be impossible to get consistent rebound so threw them out immediately. Fitted kyosho red x-rings to mine as that is what I have used on TRF shocks before with great success. I have read good things about AE FT x-rings aswell so that might be worth a try if it is hard to find kyosho.

Hmm, mine has the Kyosho Xrings fitted too buddy, i need to strip them and take a look methinks, see what the skinny is. Rears are the worst, just slowly seaps down while on the bench.

Those are quite good... I use one 50 durometer on on the bottom and one x-ring on the top..... Also add an additional .1mm shim to what the instructions call for when building the shocks and I have yet to have an issue with the TRF damper leaking

ralphee · #**190** 04-08-2014

Thanks Dave, ill give that a go buddy! Lads Stella are now listing XMW parts too, i just ordered a lower deck and side rails, you never know i guess!

Bests.....lee

Have to say that my shocks are built exactly as kit and don't leak at all. No green slime either, just shock oil on the seal as I build.

Most leaking issues are caused by having too much oil (or not enough air) in the shocks.

patez · #**192** 05-08-2014

The new kit orings have worked for me aswell. Altought i needed to build fresh shocks a few times. The o-rings might not be seated properly on new set. So I fill the shock full and close the air screw too. Then i press the shaft down firmly so i get hydrolock and see that it doesnt leak or suck air. After that make your rebound setting, remove extra oil, air bubbles etc. And throw away that airscrew o-ring. It doesn't hold in its place.

What's the rear kick up with or without the 1mm spacer?
How about this spur gear cover?? Were to buy it? Thanx

Origineelreclamebord · #**194** 05-08-2014

Gear cover is DIY work with a body reamer, so you can make a nice pattern yourself

guinness · #**195** 05-08-2014

how about the rear anti squat?

guinness · #**196** 06-08-2014

First run was on sunday ,the car handled nicely with just the build stock setup ,straggling around the corners ...moved rear shocks up one hole on top and middle at bottom, front top went down one hole and car got better then only to realise at the end of the day that the servo saver was not tight enough lol,
Car was glued on the astro and won the B final, looking forward to the next meeting to see if the servo saver is now OK and will post a setup sheet .

I used part #19804372 for the correct spacing

just a update......it was easier ....faster..cheaper to get the non tamiya brand and they fit good

SiR_Dave · #**198** 09-08-2014

Great,

So I take it it worked out for you then

ralphee · #**199** 09-08-2014

Guys, Dave, can any of you give me a base idea on anti squat for carpet? Running kit settings on high bite, do you think i need any anti squat at all?

Bests.....Lee

guinness · #**200** 09-08-2014

If the track doesn't have a lot of bumpy bits 1 deg antisquat will be good plus you will gain more front steering.
I still have not find out what is the stock antisquat with the 1mm spacer as for manual,do u ?
