XRAY - Model racing cars

rcnewb drives a Caster brand truggy, it is on the right my XT8 is on the left





I'm running the 6hole 1.4 stock pistons with 60wt Trinity up front and 50wt LOSI in the back, that's what I had on hand at the time. I run Gray springs up front and silver in the back. I'm still working on setting them up to my liking but the good news is I have pounded them hard for about a gallon and they feel like the day I put them together.

That Austin track is one of my favorites, there is a little bit of everything there, the off camber out in the center is mean.

You were able to run the same oil a gallon?

Man that is going to be nice since I had to rebuild my EC shocks every race or every other race due to those dead spots felt in them. Not sure how to expalin it but with little use they started to feel funny and not smooth as you pull/push the shock shaft.

The guy at my track that fitted these shocks to his EC said the same thing and was able to run the shocks several races with out them feeling different.

If you turn E.C shocks upside down after 1 or 2 heats you can feel the big air gap.
I read a release note from xray saying "this is normal". I say, no its not.

My mates hong nor shocks (big bore not super bore) don't leak. The o-rings are a better idea, they have a flat edge up against the shock body.
It stops any chance of rolling over and doesn't deform as much if you think about it.
The E.C shock is a good one for about 5 mins, it's just very high maintenance.

From today....
