|  my integy shocks are almost frozen up!
I bought some integy shocks from a local shop in town. i went from the stock axial shocks to these integy ones. they are 98mm so they are much shorter than stock. i acquired some killer cog by the way! im running 20wt oil for the front, and 40wt for the rear and they are mounted upside down for clearance issues. after about 2 months of use i have this problem. about 10 mins into crawling, they get super gummy to the point where i can push down on my truck and it stays down and comes up super slow if at all! i have asked a couple of local shops and they told me to call integy.... hahahahahahaha! thats a joke. their customer service isn't the best, to say it nicely. also, my shocks aren't super dirty, maybe just a little dusty. i don't swamp them or mud them up or anything. if anyone has any ideas please let me know. all info is greatly appreciated. thank you |

If you do a quick search here you will see that integy shocks are crap. You should save yourself the headache and more wasted money & time by getting rid of them and replacing them with the 4" Losi shocks. You could also wait a couple weeks and get the new metal bodied Axial shocks, the early reviews look pretty impressive.

The integy shocks arent THAT bad. you probbably have something blocking the hole to allow fluid to pass back thru the shock piston. Now dont jump my a$$ everyone I know it is INTEJUNK but there has to be a reason the shock mesed up. I would clean them and try again. I have never used there shocks, but i do use there bent links and they are holding up very nice. I in no way support there stealing others designs and making profit, but i have seen the use of there "air" shocks and they work great!! But if you wanna spend a little green upgrade to the losi and throw in some green slime, they wont leak. |
