Default shocks sticking

ok so when i built my kit the rear shocks were sticking only when installed on the truck. so i found if i loosen the screws that mount the shocks to the chassis and axle it stops binding so am i missing a spacer or something?

The original scx10 had a small black plastic spacer on all 4 shocks, where they mount to the shock hoops. The instructions for the scx10 II does not show these spacers being installed, but the spacers are in fact on one of the parts tress. So I would try them and see if it resolves your issue.

I noticed this issue as well. I never had an original SCX10. What do the spacers look like... or what parts tree?

Thanks.

Its the pieces on the ends, I'm sure some nitro fuel tubing, washers, or cutting the ends off spare rod ends would work

I had this issue too. I don't know what effect it will have on the truck, but I moved the rear shocks to the other mounting hole and it fixed it up. I might look into the spacer though.

I also switched holes at the back; but, the front didn't give me any options. I'm going to try the spacers. Using Pro-Line Scalers on the RTR.
