Good deal, did he mention what was taking so long? I know he is in the middle of race season, but still should warn people.
Yeah 1st week he said he was at an event and he would get it out week just passed. I still never received a shipped notification so I emailed him yesterday to see what's going on. Ordered on 7/31. He hit me back and said he was out of them and should be getting more this week. I told him to go ahead and cancel. I think he was BSing. Can you tell a difference in the 2 bellcranks? I just checked my stock one and it feels smooth so I may just keep it??‍♂️
 
Those MOD shocks big $$$$?

Yes they are, but this last set was worth every penny.
Had to go through most of this losi, found a good amount of screws lose, and one shock was leaking like crazy. Opened it up and it was missing the top bladder seal lol.

Either way I put some thicker fluid in them, waiting on the bladder seal to assemble the last shock.

Fired it up last night, idled ok but couldn't get it to rev, would just bog and die out. Adjusted carb both ways no luck. So tore it apart this morning and gave it a bath, and reassembled. See what happens later.

Well found the issue..... much worse than I wanted it to be ???

Base, and head gasket are leaking AND has metal shaving in the case. So honestly not sure what the fiddlestick I'm going to do. Likely send the case to be cleaned by john and assembled I guess, or try cleaning it myself?

Oh no ? is the top end ok? I'd send it to John at Detroit performance . Did you buy it from RCMAX /Detroit performance or a private seller?

Sense the head gasket was leaking ,it could have been a clearance issue ,from an improper head shim you think?...:unsure:
