TRF Tastic, I like blue blingy stuff as much as the next man but if said blue blingy stuff means my shocks don't work as well as they do now I think I'll pass on them I've not had a problem with the bottom seals on the shocks so far, replacing the shock shafts with Yokomo titanium nitride ones and filling the bottom cartridges with green slime (associated stuff, not the product of a cronic cold I had at the time... ) they seem absolutely fine. Not leaked at all. I fitted a Nosram 6.5 brushless to mine today, eventually managed to crowbar the speedo in but I need a smaller spur gear cos at the moment it's geared with a 19 tooth pinion and it accelerates up to about 3/4 throttle while standing still then the tyres grip and off it goes It's quick...
