The part number for the bottom o-rings is axa1179. There are 2 o-rings in the bottom separated by a spacer. Make sure to use the green slime on the o-rings when installing them and to be slow and gentle while pushing the shaft thru the o-rings. |

I saw someone mention there was a Traxxas o-ring that was a tighter fit and cured leaking. I cant remember which o-rings they were though. My fronts are leaking like a sumbish.

I tried a traxxas blue x-ring but couldn't get it to fit in place of the stock orange o-ring. I ended up leaving the x-ring on the shock shaft and screwing the cap back on with all stock o-rings in place still. It won't screw on fully, but it has stopped all leaking till i get new shocks.

I used the correct axial o-rings and instead of useing the spacer I used one of the old o-rings in each shock as the bottom seal and havn't had a problem with them leaking yet. I did it about a month ago and taken it out for a few good runs. |

Are everyone's leaking from the top or bottom? If from the top, bleed some oil or quit flipping your rig on it's head so dang much, lol.

You could always stop putting oil in them. Really for the 5mph mine goes I'm not going to bother with the oil in the shocks. |

As for proline shocks.. that's personal opinion. Like most things.. I rebuilt two of them with 3 o-rings an building the other two with green slime.. I'm goin to see which lasts longer. I'll report back once the first one leaks. | |

Looking for anything new someone is trying.. I'm running 3 o-rings an slime on them. Works good, I just run a slightly lighter shock oil to compensate for the nice snug fit of the rings.. |

I have this same problem with my SCX10 Rubicon kit. Oil leaked out before I even drove it.
