|  ax10 leaking shock caps
I have a kit ax10 with the plastic shocks. And the caps keep leaking. Are there any other shock caps that fit. I do not want to buy new shocks. But I need a cheap fix. THANKS |

are your shock bladers in corectly? also if the caps are too tight they can mess up the seal of the balder.

I'm with you man, I have the AX10 plastic shocks and they suck, as much as I don't WANT to replace them, I'm pretty sure I'm going to soon, anyways. I'm getting tired of those things falling apart for practically no reason. I was thinking about the Losi crawler shocks or the integy ones. I want a slightly shorter shock (4 inch) for my new chassis, and I've had people suggest them both, so it'll probably depend on whats out there when I have the money to blow. |

Search rod end mod for mounting. Basically cutting the mounting hole part off the cap, drilling & tapping the center of the cap 3mm and screwing a 3mm screw on the cap to thread a small traxxas rod end to. | |
