good stuff

you could also save money by filling your shocks and diffs with pudding (its alot cheeper than silicone oil and tastes better too)

stop buying expensive tire foam, you can fill alot of tires with just one can of great stuff foam

Good tips, I like to stuff the tire foams down my pants... I get alot of "attention" at the club with that trick!

Seems like the molded foams don not fit as well though...

Mayo would be better in shocks, IMO. That way when you pop one it would look really funny with the white stuff dripping off it.

Well the guy at my lhs told me that ketchup is a good substitute for 30w oil (true story) so mix up your condiments to tune your suspension :)

LMFAO!!!!!!!!

In regards to cups fitting/dogbones. I was helping my B'in law put together his new to him Emaxx FLM chassis. Magman, maybe you can help here - it came with what I believe to be a UE dogbone for the rear. However, it didnt have any cups with it. I happened to have a set of bent UE shafts, so I gave him a set of the cups for it. However, it ended up being just a little on the tight side. So I took apart one of his Traxxas center dogbones, and it was a perfect fit - suprised the heck out of me. I'm just not certain what brand of shaft came with the FLM.
