the threads on the bodies are dirty. they need to be cleaned with an exacto blade or a tap and then sprayed with motor spray or the likes. then dab some shock oil on the threads. I got mine together but 3 of my 4 cartridges threads got a little messed up from trying to install them right out of the bag. well see it if leaks or not but i think its good. AE doesn't claim the emulsion seals are in there so you can't complain that they were "missing" but i too would have liked to see them in the bag.

ok cool im sending my shock parts in after this weekend. Now I dont know if they can just do the inside of the shock body DLC or if the whole shock iteslf is gonna be DLC. Im guessing this paired up with the Trackstar shock orings should be butter smooth..

I'd check for binding, and that your slipper spring is fully compressed.
No offence to Mac, because I admire his inventiveness and entrepreneurship, but I don't think that the slipper basket is the solution for everyone's slipper problems.
I'm running HT pads on the inside and outside of my spur, 2 1/4" washers between the spring and slipper plate, and the spring fully compressed. I have zero problems with torque. Maybe my ESC settings and trigger finger are helping with this too, but I can go 3 full race days without having to rough up my pads....and even then, I'm not having any issues keeping up with the Losi and Ofna trucks at our track...
We have a long 8-pack of doubles down part of our track, and if you mess up on your timing, it makes it hard to get the speed up to clear the next set... since tossing 2 $0.10 washers under my spring, I have not had any problems clearing the next set, even when I bugger up the rhythm....

how far should i tighten the slipper, and where do the washers go?
no offense to mac either, but i'd like to use the clutch basket as my last resort.

yeap. running my sc10 4x4 from the first day it came out. I do have the HD slipperpad for the rear. I do crank up the slipper al the way, then I back up the slippernut 1,5 turns and it is good for my track. No slipper problems here

Guys Im looking for some insight on which pinion size you are all running. I have a MMP with C3800 running 32pitch and tried 14 and 16pinions with stock spur. The 14 was to slow, 16 is better but Im still looking for more. Is an 18 pinion going to be to much for this motor? Motor temps arent much of an issue and the MMP stays nice and cool with 16p.
