Hey Lee,
Me and Dan did a lot of running of the X-6 at Bury especially at the first stages of getting the car. We found with the shock limited that going down the fast straights the wheels were leaving the ground, made the car quite "on edge" in a straight line.

Then taking out the limiters and putting those tiny shims on the inside of the axle ment it rode the bumps far better, but then we both suffered with driveshafts coming out of outdrive - not regular, but just doing it once would chip the outdrive where it mattered.

Putting Losi shocks on means can get more droop, can always limit it, but ive never felt any need to reduce it.

Running BK2 or drilled axles means the bone is further in the outdrive, and i feel that even if no more droop is required, this can only be a good thing if it means you won't fail to finish any runs you start due to bone falling out of diff.... and its never happened again to me since changing to BK2 axles.

Chris
