I have never run those seals on any of my JRX series cars and none of them leak. The shock cartridge's plastic seems to seal fine against the shock bodies.

Picked up the kit on Thursday and built it up yesterday night and today. For the most part the kit went together well albeit the manual was not quite right. So as I was building from both the old and new manual I started to make notes and suggestions on the new manual which I have here: https://driv...

Overall the build was fun. The instructions might not be 100% and the original instructions were far more detailed. Regardless most of the car went together fine. As I stated above my starting setup is hybrid between the old and new kit, the main difference between the setup I started with and what ...

Good choice on going with foams.

The Speed Hawg replicas in the kit are pretty good on pavement but they have a couple things against them. They wear fairly fast and the sideways are not stiff enough to take side loads. I'll go into more on my thread though.

Drove the car yesterday and added more about the experience above.

Really want to try this with some foam tires in the future.

I also might try moving the rear swaybar endlinks to the middle holes and see what effect that gives me.

Would've loved to hear those little tires screeching around the track, I have to do that someday. Glad to know the details about the DS tires, thanks! When you mentioned body roll, I was immediately thinking about the anti-roll bar adjustments. Looking forward to hearing what setting works for you ...

We're on the same page. At least they've provided a wide range of adjustability and it should be relatively easy to adjust at the track. FWIW, I probably wouldn't recommend using droop to limit body roll as it could entirely unload a tire and make handling unpredictable. It's probably best to use t...

I had good luck with all of the stock ballcups (the 40th was a different story), no popping off or slipping with the little AE wrench; once the turnbuckle rod had been threaded fully and backed out a bit, the stock cups adjusted very easily for me. https://i.imgur.com/iQiR7x2.jpg I re-read that rid...

Updated the manual to V3 to add the note about rear upper shock mount assembly needing to be reversed. Thanks @XLR8

I've grown incredibly fond of the Kyosho Turbo Scorpion wheels. I decided that my K24 and NRC24 need them too so I decided to scale some down for the 1/24 scale buggies.

You should try the Tamiya F104 belted slicks one day see how you like them.

It's on the list! Might see if there's any at the lhs this weekend.

One thing I've been wanting to do since I bought the K24 was to make scaled down Turbo Scorpion wheels for it to match it's big bro. So that's what I did yesterday. Measured and scaled down the wheels and printed them in some Sirayatech Blu Nylon resin. Screenshot 2024-08-26 211035.jpg IMG_20240827_...

Got the RPM ballcups on. I had to cut down the camber link ballcups a little bit and the inner front camber link location requires you to trim and file the cup side a bit to clear the nose tubes without rubbing.

Mines a small entry, and I mean really small. IMG_20240910_082337375_HDR.jpg IMG_20240910_082510939_HDR.jpg This is my NRC K24, a 1/24 scale Ultima Pro Replica with a lexan wing by Jason Cooper, paintwork by Dominator Airbrushing and custom mini 5 spokes by me. Really fun to drive, if not a bit over...
