I was talking about your new shocks. In the pic you posted two are shorter and two longer.

Status: offline 		I had the same problem..2 different solutions that you can go with..#1 run the smaller front shocks and use the longer ends and dont screw them all the way in (this was not really a solution that i liked due to some reliability issues..bad crash shocks ends pulling off) Or #2..Using the longer shocks in the front and using spacers to limit the down travel..The last thing you need to remember is THE CASTER IS NOT A MUGEN..The Mugen uses towers that are more up right and the Caster has Towers that are more layed down this is why the differences in shock length..I know that the KMW shocks are nice but I'm not to sure on the parts stuff though.

These were the latest versions. One did not even run because a diff went out. The others had broken a-arms, front knuckles, a rounded out brake disk etc.


Well I have ran my K8T pretty hard and only problem I have had is the e-clips coming out of the hinge pins which I just installed the captured ones. It has taken some HARD hits and cartwheeling and nothing broken yet! Seems pretty tough to me. Maybe the changed some things since you guys ran them. Just wanted to let you know its been great for me.

You can put the truggy shocks on all 4 for the buggy. Might work, might not. Some people do that I think because it give the front shocks more volume or something.

I ran my K8T yesterday again for about 4 tanks just practicing and it was great. I sealed some of the places air leaks can come out on the Picco and it ran alot better than before. I am going to try and lower it more, think it sits a little high and has some body roll in corners more than I would like. Might move the shock mounting positions to do this. Took some more pretty good hits and Nothing broke. My friend already broke a arm on his mugen he bought at the same time.
