| Cheap Shock Air Bubble Remover
Ok. Now I'm just getting way to lazy, but I've seen the air bubble remover Losi sells for like $45 and then saw somebody using a vacuum coffee saver on ebay for $12. Might have to try this as bleeding shocks takes me way too long as I'm way to anal |

Fill'em up, push the piston up and down a few times, then leave'em sit |

The best bubble remover is... gravity. Not only that, it's already in your toolbox.

| Re: Cheap Shock Air Bubble Remover Are you looking at getting these things for bladder shocks or emulsion shocks?

I'm still on the hunt for a shock that will work with linked setup for heavy rig but probably going with bladder as more rebound would probably be preferred for my setup.

I use the Tamiya RC Damper Oil Air Remover - Super Long ITEM# 54152. It's not cheap, but it really does work. https://www.tamiyausa.com/items/tool...-remover-54152 You can find it much cheaper on eBay if you wait for it to come from Asia. That's what I did. Tamiya 54152 | eBay I bet this food saver would be a cheap air remover if it's tall enough to hold shocks upright. FoodSaverŪ Quick Marinator at FoodSaver.com. |

I've been going through a lot of old junk and just tossed a vacuum pump food sealer. I think it's still in my main trash...I should pull it out and make something. The pump looks just like that Tamiya unit.
