i would of gotten the silicone o-rings, but those things are 9 bucks a bag for 50 of them. so for under 6 dollars, and for 100 o-rings you can't go wrong. it's not like we're racing these things in a freezer or on the sun.

I think the Buna are fine for the cap, but I tried them on the shock shafts and didn't like em. Wish I could figure out where MIP got his blue ones. I liked them!

Same here. I have a few bags of NIP ones that I found on the web a few years ago that I'm saving for some HG VLT bodies. :wink:

yeah for the o-rings i would stick with the silicone stuff. and with a dab of green slime the shafts will keep sliding lovely.

those mip blue seals were pretty popular. people still ask for them today. for me they were ok. but when i tried them, every once in a while, i would get one that would swell up and cause havoc with the shock. would piss me off, because i had to rebuild the damn thing all over again. and if you bought only one pack of mip seals.... so i just stop using them and stuck with the stock o-rings.

another tip for you guys if you didn't know already. instead of buying those little tubes of team associated green slime just buy a little tub of this stuff. it's same stuff as the green slime. noleen sf-3. and all you need is one. it'll last you for quite some time.

and stock up on those o-rings too while you're at it...

Yeah that was my bad. The 10mm rings would prob work much better.

There are o ring suppliers you can probably get in touch with to get the silicone o rings in bulk. Team durango sells blue silicone ones, 8 to a pack so not very cost effictive.
