As I said before, it cant be that much of a problem as no one else is complaining about it.
How I saw it though, is if I got into a bad tumble/roll or landed badly on one wheel, that shock will fully compress, which will put the whole weight on that piston, possibly causing damage to the piston (and maybe score the inside of the shock body).
I dont know how I can explain this any clearer.
Of all the other RC's I have/had I have never seen a shock/build like this.
As with a few other things I've noticed with this kit (previously mentioned), its an awesome buggy when built but the build quality could be better.
Also for all the parts bag that gets checked for being complete?
Mine was missing a few screws and something else I cant even remember now.
Now I may have high expectations but I honestly expect better QC and tolerances in parts than this.
I also thought some of the plastics were pretty poor aswell, although should be fine aslong as you do not abuse or over tighten any parts, especially the little plastic shims (I noticed a couple of other bits which were quite soft but cant remember what they were and I'm pretty sure it was just small stuff).
I can kinda understand why they did this though, they offer the aluminium shims as an option part.
I'll leave the subject alone now though, I'm not gonna start an argument or anything over this.
