I went three race days and probably 6 tanks of practice days and at the end of that it felt like the shocks were actually not rebounding at all. I had to crank the preload way up to get correct ride height, overcoming the stiction present. ( it was a pretty hot day and I was running losi 35 front and 27.5 rear)

I haven't un-built them yet, but I may tonight after work. I may try some of the losi boots I have and see if they fit.

I'm sure everyone seen these, but here is another option to help keep your shocks & filters cleaner longer. Also kinda nice to hide your springs at a big meet, if your competing with other racers who don't have the setup down yet... Dang copy cats.... :wink:

LOL!
