Default HELP CKRC 120mm threaded shocks

i just got the 120mm shocks from CKRC racamened for the berg and they are vary nice shocks but the are really stiff. like if you push them down it takes like 1 min for the hole shock to come back to normal

I don't know anything about those shocks but make sure the piston holes aren't plugged or drill them out for more action.

RC shock oil and vehicle shock oils are WAY different. just head to a hobby shop or order some online and try it. and also make sure the holes in the pistons are open and clear of any blockage.

One way or another your gunna have to tear those 2 shocks apart. When you take them apart, drain the oil, and then put the shock back together. If it frees up ,well its the oil or the oil holes in the disc, or the disc is to tight in the shock body, and is dragging. Hope that helps. Good luck...
