An alternative for the OFN32033

One other thing, fluids like this have a tension on its surface that flows up the sides of any container, I forget the proper terms and because of this even something with low vececosity like water can be filled higher than the lip of its container. Also fluid is uncompressable so not enough is better than too much.

yer +1...if i fill my e-maxx shocks to the brim they will pop if i land a big jump.
the shaft going into the shock pressurizes the inside...liquids wont compress so it pops out the bladder or pops the shock top off.
i know it sucks but leave a bit of air inside them....

I forgot about adding a little foam rubber to strengthen the blabber... I know it's not an absolute fix, but it should make a difference...

I hear that, but it contradicts all the principles of these shocks... if I have bubbles passing through the pistons, I don't see how they will perform well... I will also give this a try and see how it works...

Thanks guys

well yes i agree...the answer is piggy back shocks...the res will soak up the pressure...but they are more expensive.
