Hi Neil

Yeah i have got the Rudebits Lipo tray with two of the three centre sections fitted. Its more the fact that the springs are partially compressed even with the collar fully wound to the top. Im used to my TRF shocks on my touring car and the springs are slack if uncompressed allowing you to use the collar to set the ride height pretty low if desired.

I have wound the ball end right the way onto the shaft too, again unlike you do when building Tamiya Touring TRF shocks.

I do hold my hands up and admit i dont know much about buggy shocks though - maybe they are all like that ?

Im tempted to fit a second oring within the shock as a limiter to prevent the shafts popping out. Hupo runs his on the inside at the bottom on the rear according to the TRF UK website setup sheet thats all.

Cheers for the input mate.
