Shock Recommendations

[bschimmel]

Need some ideas on shocks for my AX10. I have a set of integy but I cannot get them to hold pressure. I bleed them and they work for 2 or 3 movements and then they are flat!!!

Any suggestions?

Wait, you are wanting them to hold pressure? These shocks arent like the gas charged shocks that are used on some cars. Most oil filled RC shocks are similar to hydraulic shocks....they provide equal damping in both directions (in and out). As long as they aren't leaking oil, then they should be working properly.

I know what he was doing... You overfilled the socks, they maintain a bit of pressure until the o-ring decides it has had enough, not what these shocks are made for...

More than likely your shocks are fine, shoot us a couple of pics of your setup and we'll help you out with it...
