That sounds like a plan Champ...

Did you buy them new?
Did you follow THESE instructions. I see he doesn't say much in the ways of leaving them a certain small percentage empty, but he does say compress them.
You may not find another bladder. It's not a common upgrade. I have seen people run Losi 1/8th scale shocks on these trucks with success. |
Zack... I think you are onto something here... I totally over looked that section... I was always building the shock to achieve 100% rebound...
according to this instruction, the shock requires much less... Tonight i will rebuild with the instructions below:
iv) Refi ll to the top.
v) Screw the cap on 1-2 turns.
vi) Fully compress the shock. You need to blead off the excess. If you tighten the cap
with this much oil in the shock it will hydrolock (fl uids are incompressible) and blow
the seals out. Do not do this with the spring perch installed, you want FULL travel
on the shock.
vii) Unscrew the cap a little until the pressure relieves and oil bleeds from under the
cap’s threads.
viii) Tighten the cap down. Wipe clean
