    I've heard the same. I did however run some piggies from Progressive Suspenion for quite some time on my T4. They were awesome, the reservoir contained a closed cell bladder that would collapse when the shaft displaced the oil on compression, resulting in no excessive pressure on the seals. Rebuilds lasted forever, thank goodness, because building them and getting them right was a major pain in the ass. I finally just said screw them.

    ^^^ Should be fun!


    Just ran all 3 lipo packs through my truck. The 5800 ran for about 35 minutes. And that was running it pretty dang hard the whole time. Seems like the new metal tranny gears are sort of "broke in" now and spinning more freely. The only thing that's giving me trouble now is one of my dog bones. If I take take a turn or land a jump just the right way one falls out. I would say an extra o-ring or two would probably fix this.

    Yeah, traded a bmx gate I made years ago for nothing, so technically I got it free :D

    The guy never had a lipo in it so as soon as I got home I threw in a 2s, set the esc for lipo and went out in the rain and bashed it a little bit, took it under water through some puddles, its gonna be my new bashing truck.

    We had our first track night Sat. from 3:00pm till almost 1:00 am. Tons of fun was had by all, six guys showed up. We ran everything, truggys, 1/8 bugggys, stadium trucks, 2wd buggys and 4wd buggys. Sorry no pics as I was busy wrenching or driving. We went to a new track today and burnt a few batteries. can't believe how fun this dirt oval was.
