And if you weren't impressed or gave any respect to the guy that won the race with his SC10, seems to me like your hating once again.

i have been racing for over 27 years i know how the teams work . i have turned down sponsorships from various manufacturers . because i don't agree with how they do things .

Ok I've only been racing for a year, so does 27years of you racing give you the right to complain? I'm not trying to stir up anything, but it seems like it would be more ideal to thank those that are making/customizing/modding rc's instead of bashing on them.

It is purely ocrc and lrh now in the oc for me , and then a few hauls out to revelation in ontario when I really want to break some parts on their awesome outdoor track.

+1 on Danny running a great facility that is West Coast R/C. I too was bummed on the 1/8 scale ban as I had just finished getting my Hyper9E all together. I had only owned the darned thing for a month and got to only run it at West Coast once. But I understand why the ban. I was at the track when some one got nailed in the ankle by an 1/8 scale as full speed and that person got very hurt. I even witnessed someone get hit in the head by a short course when they were too close to a triple. Luckily they were not hurt. I have since picked up a B4.1 to replace my Hyper9E ( which is for sale in the for sale thread). I know there are other tracks that allow 1/8 scales but I enjoy the atmosphere at WCRC and the love the awesome track layouts that Danny and the crew come up with every month. So I never run my 1/8 buggy. But between my SC10, SC10 4x4 and my B4.1 I've got a lot to play with. Anyone looking for a 1/8 Hyper9E?

The Factory Team shocks don't come in the kit. If your shocks look like this:

You already know that shock bushings, or emulsion o rings aren't included.

Can't see pic but I'm running emulsion and my front shock leaks. I think it's the really small hole or the bladder hole with the screw. Any tips?

doug ,

just cut the inside or bubble part of the bladder off to make a emulsion seal, leaving just the ring so it still seals and reinstall.....

Emulsion

works awesome , more traction....

Seriously? You said twice now, The Wrong statement in regards to what I was trying to help someone with, twice! Then you ask a random question about shocks leaking in regards to someone correcting you a third time.

Are my posts blocked? I linked all the stuff needed and answered these questions only like 1 page ago, already. It's like i'm talking behind a sound proof window.

Has anyone been able to find the diff shims separetly yet. I took mine apart and the shims under the pin are like perfectly bowed out now (so good it looks like they came that way) and i would like some more to replace them. I only see them with the whole diff rebuild kit. I need some of the shims on the outside as well.
