I think it's an alloy o-ring cartridge (V2 parts in manual)...i have just spotted an alloy shock cap on ebay aswell (V1 cylinder cap)

Can't see the point of those alloy shock caps as they are missing the holes for the bleed screws...

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...-Steve

I got home today to find 2 jiffy bags containing a set of eccentric tensioners, a set of anti roll bars, 2 sets of wheels and 2 spare belts, which was nice.
I'm tempted to try dyeing one set of wheels bright orange, they looked proper nice on my mockup DFR when I was in the planning stages of that... -Steve

The black wheels look sweet! I have not gotten off my lazy ass and try to dye wheels for any of my vehicles yet.
 How did you do yours? What rear wheels do you have on it? Are the Associated Ti turnbuckles the standard 6 that come with a Factory Team B4? What does the body look like? Ok, I'll stop now ... me =  <--- icon is more motor-mouth than mad!

Hey Aaron cool down man your gonna blow a gasket!!
The Wheels started out as a set of Losi 5 spokes, dyed black using dylon. the associated turnbuckles I got from microtech adn I think they are shorter than the b4 items, and they are a couple of mm shorter than the standard Tamiya items, but still good to use on the 501. As for the body...

More Q's For TRF Tastic
TRF Tastic - Buggy looks great w/ the alum. steering parts. Do you notice the difference (aside from the obvious BLING factor)? Also, what servo saver is that? If it happens to be a Kimbrough is it the full size or mid, a part # would be greatly appreciated. Does it clear the underside of the top deck w/ no problem.
Thanks in advance for the info. Seems Im full of Q's tonite. (Why is the) sky blue, grass green, do birds fly, earth round etc etc etc..... Edit: read AaronR's post after and seems I should of used the (unofficial motormouth) thingy!
