How are the Nortech ones? Never heard of them... I use either stock ones (they don´t leak if you use the white plastic spacer instead on black spacer-shims-black spacer) or the Associated ones ( much smoother used with black spacer-0.4mm shims-black spacer).

Standard red ones. Makes the shaft move just fine and keep the oil in. No shims required.

I heard that the kyosho x rings (grooved) were a pretty popular choice at the euros. I had a few packs in a couple of days ago and only have one pack
left now. Will have more in soon!
