Now i know some of you are chringing in your seats because i used Hot Racing, but in reality im a broke teenager with no job so yes they wrre cheaper but these HR ones will work just fine, i bet even a plastic retainer would do the same job just as well.
after i installed them had to check and make sure it had fixed my problem.

Yep! its good, after that i packed up my things in the back of my trusty Exploder and was off 
video to come, i has some editing to do =P |

IT STILL DID NOT WORK! so tomorrow if i get the chance i will make the long adventure to the hobby town USA (AKA Rip off town) and try to get some 50 WT oil and put that in the shocks and no springs! hows that for droop? xD |
QUOTE=Winner;34785]ok so there's more. the X5 body still is not here and if its not here by monday im calling the place because the tracking number they gave me has been created but not shipped like they said (evidently it shipped the 2nd)
