Dear Kobiwon, What is the reason to not like the plastic shocks? |

I like the shocks that come with the 007, they perform extremely well; however with a metal adjustable collar on a plastic body there is an added concern of cross threading. Although this is address in the instruction manual it is always a concern. There is a part number for Alu/Teflon shock bodies of 308320 however, I am not sure it is fully compatible with the original hardware. I doubt I will change to alu shock bodies, there has been a significant amount of thought, design and engineering gone into the 007; why would I want to change to older equipment (308320 Alu/Telfon bodies are from the T1 series). Saying that I do know how good alu and anodized bits look ![]() |

Hi Jaxgough, If you put just a little shock oil on kollar or on body shock there is no way to cross threading. I used plastic shocks same as all our team drivers and we are extremely happy with them. Although we have as an option aluminium ones, nobody whom I know use them. Why? because nobody concerns about plastic ones. |

The shocks being plastic really isn't what I meant. I just was told there there are better performing shocks than the ones that come with the Xray. I have a post on the '007 thread in which I am having a problem setting up my '007 for low bite tracks. I am just trying to think of anything I can that would help me. Some people I race with said there cars were night and day different (better) when they put other brand shocks on their cars. I don't know, I am just really frustrated, because I sold my other brand car which was awesome to get a '007 and I can't get the car to handle. I feel like I made a mistake. But I see all team drivers doing well with the car so it has to be a good car right? I mean I know driving has allot to do with it, but you have to have a car that can handle to drive good. Maybe the car doesn't do well on low bite tracks, I don't know. |

So, problem must be in the set up but I am sure not in the shocks. So please, how your car feels, no traction? What kind of tires do you use foam or rubber? I will try to help you because I am sure that our car can be comperable with others in performance. |

I looked at your setup that you've posted. You have DROOP of 1mm and 1.5mm F/R, or you have DOWNSTOP 1mm and 1.5mm F/R. They are different, but I think you already know that, just to make sure, because I did spent a lot of time fighting with setup, only find that at the end I have no droop at all. I also suggest you loosen up the diff. (front and rear). I run rear diff slightly looser than front diff too. I run a similar setup, with stiffer front spring and more camber angle, and it runs great, actually slightly loose all around too. Try running a few laps and check your tire wear, maybe you need more camber angle. As for your problem, I guess you mean your car is understeering (pushing) on throttle? Can you hear your tires spinning (free spinning on the track) when on throttle cornering? |

Well, it pushes going into the corners more as well. |
