I don't remember if the stock Axial shocks have a bladder in the shock cap. If not, then that is what causes your problem with the shocks turned upside down. What happens is that the piston will not be covered with oil when the shock is turned and that creates an "empty spot" in the first few millimeters of the shocks travel. A shock with a bladder, like the Traxxas Big Bore that dude26 is using, will allow you to fully fill the shock body with oil and thus keep the piston covered with oil regardless of its position.

If your shocks have bladders you need to rebleed them carefully and see if that helps.

Thank you, that makes sense.

I just have to have a set of those wheels for my XR10/BJ4, two things I'm finding hard to get answered in my searches, what width wheels are you using and what hubs?

[dude26]

hi,

I'm using 0.7 wheels front/rear

for the I'm testing now .725 front and .800 rear

just a few pics from this afternoon

Man those wheels are cool! Very jealous of your places to craw, looks like a blast!

[Stormin2u]

Looking good man, how are the wheels working for you? Done any role overs with those wheels?

[frdtrkguy]

Just a quick question..

Do you remember your track width with the LCC wheels?

Thanks,

[dude26]

thanks guys

Stormin2u: I love these wheels, need to work a little on the foam but they're already a good start ( HB rover are easy to tune versus to the losi BC )
for the rollover, it's depending of the situation, but I'm used of running light wheel + knuckles weight

and no sorry I don't remember the width w/ LCC wheels

[dude26]

mod of the day



I found this idea in the thread of Delmonte
and I want to give a try to this... first test (moving shock in my hand many times) and nothing leak

[Matt,]

What is the advantage of that? Let the bladder flex?

[dude26]

that's it, the bladder flex freely, there's is pression in the shock, w/ this mod the sock is really smooth

[FireFrenzy]

basically rebound is fully and forever reduced to 0...
