I'm going to start rebuilding my Moog Trugg for the indoor season. Maybe I'll pick a set and give em' a try.

Any tips on building them (i.e. piston / springs / oil) or is that "classified information"? LOL

That's cool.

Did all of those springs come standard with the shocks or did you have to buy them separately?

comes with 2 sets of springs and 2 sets of brass pistons, brass bushings (instead of plastic), bodies, caps, retainers, you need to use your little plastic bushings in caps, losi bladders, and your shafts and ends, then they use mugen orings and retainer clips from the old style moooo shocks.

Niice chad.

Ok to I took the mugen out to lh today which is beat up... Rear end was real loose. What can I do to improve upon this? I tried gators and lugz and it did it with both.

Oh and do mugens usually fly cockeyed? Wouldn't stay level (left/right) for anything...Might have been the jumps though.

check for a bent hinge pin or shock shaft dude, 2.75 or 3 rear toe, -3 camber in rear, 400,350 in shocks, i am sure the "beat upness" didnt help either.

Ok. I'll check that tomorrow, probably change oils.

I was running a x.4 swaybar up front, instead of x.3 (x=i don't remember) could that make the car be more spin out-ey?

well the suspension wouldnt compress as much theoreticly, a stiffer front will transfer more traction to the rear, so I've been learning from Forza...but I dont know if it has any application here. ^_^
