My Posts This: Topic Forum | It does compress them somewhat, but I ran them in a similar fashion on my Trexs too. It does add some load to the thrust bearings, but not enough that they will become notchy. The red dampers are not like a rubber oring, when you compress them the shims will indent and deform the dampers, which leaves a permanent shape in them, taking the load off the thrust bearings after the dampers wear in. Trust me, it does work.
The stock orings have a good feel to them too, I just felt that they wore out pretty quickly with high headspeeds and aggressive flying. I get about 3 flights on the Orings, and about 20 flights on the red dampers.
If you look up my name on youtube there is a video from Efest flying these in my Beam.
