Default RTC shock rebuild?

Is there a rebuild kit offered to rebuild the shocks on my RTC? After about three weeks of crawling they are starting to leak pretty bad. I wounder if it is even worth it or should I just upgrade them.

At the shaft seals, three of the four shocks are leaking to the point where it will drip off of the rod end after it sets over night.

So is it like a cartrage that threads into the bottom of the shock body or is it some stacked up O-rings that can be serviced?

The last set of shocks I built were a set of RC-10 shocks with the snap rings, and the o-rings, and the plastic washers, and oil everywhere!!!

i cut my bladders on assembly, can't remember if i got the new ones from TCS or RPP.

there's a cartridge in the bottom with 2 o-rings inside it. mine leaked between the cartridge and body, not around the shaft though. check real close to see if thats where thier leaking as teflon is all it takes to fix it.

Will do, Thanks for the help!!

I just checked the Axial site where I posted last night also, they say use an o-ring package to rebuild. One pack should do all four shocks.

Part number# AXA1202
