Hi there i would really like to know.....

The competition o-rings are shit. By the time you're done adding shims to stop them leaking, they operate the same as conventional orange o-rings.
There's the "whities" from some shop I cant remember the name of which I'd like to try out, but the conventional ones work just fine. It could be that my shocks are getting a little worn (1,5 years old), but I have to add a shim or two in the front shocks to stop them leaking completely.

I use the clear orings from the TRF416 touring car and assemble with a little AE green slime from new. They 100% dont leak and feel much smoother than the std ones.

I tried the orange orings initially and i found them to bind a little before the piston moved. Its as if the orings are a fraction too large. I spoke to Lee about it and he says he uses the std orange ones but he was going to check out the clear ones when he had a chance. You can use the TRF blue ones but they are both pricey and they leak unless you compress them with shims within the shock body.


The o-rings i use are here ( you need 2 packs per car )

And dont forget the TRF guide set for your 511 ( the 201 comes with this set as std but the 511 doesnt ) - one pack per car

Lastly, these help stop the long screws that mount the tops of the shocks from bending and also take all the play out of the top mount of the shocks. youll need 2 packs per car - they dont come with the 201 either.

Yes they do, I've used them before for tamiya bits.

They even said if I had any issues with navigating the site just email them the part numbers and can do the transaction over email/paypal.
