Crawler Canyon Build-A-Long Episode Two: SCX10 Pro (Bags B & C) 

Saved the negative attitude for the comments section, then? If you think that the layout of the instructions for the 10 Pro are acceptable in any way, then-- and I sincerely mean this when I say it-- bless your little heart.

The Yeah Racing seals are the next best option after Traxxas X-seals. I have a fair number of shocks here rebuilt with spare Desert Lizard o-rings, because I've literally never had to replace one.

The gearbox is a big pile of question marks. Everything else is pretty much fine.

The Basecamp shocks never even get to the point of leaking for me, as they're easily 10mm too long for the chassis. They're on Scarlett now, upside down, with Big Bore seals in them.

Never go in dry!

Oh, Associated/Element by a lot. They make the only other leak-free shock after Traxxas (not counting exotics like Kroniks)

Because no one knows what a g/mm is. If the world had taken a different turn some years ago, they might be. Also, the little springs are indeed 10mm ID, but virtually all of the "standard" size springs are actually imperial, 1/2" or 9/16" ID. The measurements are all so close that we just fudge them to fit whatever system we're using. The bore in most "10mm" shocks is usually a letter X drill size (0.397") The world, much like my brain, is a haphazard mish-mash of imperial and metric.
