| Losi Crawler Shocks
Do these things leak more than any other shock on the planet or did i get a bad batch. In droop they were only a little leaky. Switch them to sprung and i had 4 empty shocks both times i took it out to tesk them?

If you have the 2.2 shock set, then you need to crank down on the shock cartridge, they can not be hand tightened, you need to use a wrench or pliers. If you are using the Mini Shock set, you should add the second set of seals that are included with the shocks. Both these should solve your leaking issues |

| From your title I assume you're talking about the 4" Crawler shocks. How did you build them?

I had the same problem in less than a week i drained one and the others had a little left, so i filled them up and took pliers to end caps and havnt leaked since.
