I check the shoes and bearings about every 1/2 gallon of so, and if everything looks fine I'll scuff and clean the shoes, clutch bell and add a little oil to the bearings. I change the shoes usually about 2 gallons, there pretty cheap!

Check the shock shaft also, it could be bent and need to be replaced.

White springs, 25 wt front, 30wt back. Stock oil is thicker than that, which may be why it blew out. There's also a trick involving drilling the pistons.

All the shock oil's for companies are all slightly different. Here's an excellant page on what they all equal, its very helpful site.
[link=http://www.twf8.ws/new/tech/tip/shock.html]Shock oil conversions[/link]. As far as shockil on towerhobbies I dont see how you couldnt find it took me literally 2 seconds. [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0093p?&C=CMH]R/C Car Lubricants / Shock Oils [/link]

Well, i rember seeing them and their part number on the PCR site. and there was alsways a link to it under the OFNA.com links page, but the link isnt there anymore. Does OFNA not have association with Paul Coleman anymore?? You should really try calling OFNA and getting the part #, they probably wont be able to sell voer the phone, but if youve got the part number they can be found preatty easily.


wait are these them???
