    When building shocks I always use green slim on the o ring seals. Good stuff!😁😁👍👍

    I run desert lizards with losi mini t springs in the rear and desert lizards front setup in full droop with the longest softest spring they are just as smooth as dravtec shocks.

    • @GrimSpeedFPV
      @GrimSpeedFPV Před rokem

      For a gen8 9lb setup what you recommend? I'm running soft short droop and medium soft springs on top. 4 hole pistons with 25w oil. Seems about the best for feel I've gotten it. Didn't want truck fully collapsed but I put medium stiff springs in it hurts full flex. Playing with but looks like first my best option

    Did your mounting balls in the shock ends fit snug or do they move around. Thinking my Hot racing came with the wrong mounting parts
