Do you mean the x rings in this kit?

my leaky Icon shock fix

I'm not sure if the internal dimensions for the ICON shocks on the G6 and the Yeti are the same ... but Axial only seems to have "ICON shocks" and "ICON big bores" so might be the same ... Yeti kit shocks not called "big bores"

Forget it. Yeti shocks use 3.5 x 2 mm o-rings versus 2.5 x 1.5 mm for G6. The x-rings at McMaster-Carr are also too large.

I swapped out the back ICON shocks on my G6 for Traxxas 3760s:
https://m.traxxas.com/products/parts/3760
You can get 2x for around $11 on eBay and elsewhere, they are a drop-in replacement, they don't leak (2x x rings each), and they are way smoother than the ICONs -- my ICONs never worked well, even before the oil leaked out. The 3760s even come with shock oil. Big improvement to the suspension. I'm going to sell my ICONs and get another 3760 set for the front. Alternatively, you could use Proline Powerstrokes for the Slash, front set. I have these on my nitro Slash and they're awesome.
