I figured out my problem with the shock not returning. When I put the a arms back together I tightened the carrier too much and it wasn't allowing the rear to return to its riding position. My buddys revo makes the crackling noise too and and he said he hasn't hurt anything yet from it.

Have any of you used them before? I was going to get some for the slash but people were saying the smaller versions kept blowing seals and caps. Hes had zero issues with these ones

I asked about those not long ago and i think it was kenny that talked me out of it. He says they got the suspension right on the summit and the stock 1s are the best. They do look cool tho. Ive had no probs with the suspension so far in over a year. I can think of a better way to put $70 into my summit.

Thats kinda what I was thinking Ive heard zero complaints about the stock shocks just the springs and thats just personal preff at that point. The piggy backs might just be something to thro on there later down the road when theres not much left to do to her.

1/4 lbs isnt too bad how much would he be selling something like that for I know traxxas makes some metal roll cages for the slash revo and a couple other cars I havent seen one for the summit tho. The one for the revo is like $40 

another question I have is where do I want to put lube on the truck? only at the bearings or on all the moving parts or do I want to stay away from it as some of those lubes just become a dirt catch

I'm still looking for a spray dry lube I like

Edit +1 Beast, UR too fast, LOL   Ninja Posters

Have you tried the hoppe's 9 dry lube? It's a graphite lube I'm pretty sure I have use it on firearms and it does well.

Status: offline 		Stock tires with chains will get you further in the snow. Those are for looks mostly, and they DO look awesome. Same with the piggy back shocks. Pure bling, don't expect better performance out of them, just a cool look. One of my most expensive upgrades is one no one but me will ever see. Aluminum diff cups. If I had the extra cash laying around I would love to have an all aluminum bling machine like the one a couple posts back. But I would only run it on freshly washed and waxed surfaces, lol.
Few years back I totaly blinged out a Rustler VXL, that thing sounded like a tin can full of nuts and bolts rolling down the street it had so much metal clanking around on it. I ended up selling it, that thing was so freakin' fast I didnt dare run it with all that bling.
