Status: offline 		Talking about filling shocks, I have the biggest problems in filling up mine with absolutely no air whatsover... (I have an Evader BX pro)
I tried everything, wait 15mn for air bubbles to surface, twist the piston gently as you push it down, put some drops of oil of the top cap (inside part of course) before inserting it, followed the instructions to the smallest detail, etc... and I still can't get them to be 100% air free.
I even took my car to the LHS and even the "veteran" guy over there couldn't get them to be air free after 20mn of tries (but he admitted he never worked on bottom filled shocks before).
Could someone give pointers or even better pics/videos?
BTW, once the shocks are filled very properly (100% air free) are they supposed to stay this way or will air eventually find its way in?

Status: offline 		Once you get the shocks done you need to get some sort of shock covers. (some use balloons) The seals start getting sand in them and will let air in and oil out. I read somewhere that the duratrax seals aren't the best out there. They kept refering to blue seals if that helps any. I don't know who makes them but they said tower sells them.

Good luck

Status: offline 		The "blue" seals are made by MIP I've been using them in my shocks and they work great. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXAX28&P=7

BTW, I have removed the off topic posts that were in this thread, if you want to discuss bikes try the OT forum, if you want to sell stuff try the marketplace.

Status: offline 		I'm ordering some new stuff since i broke another servo. My limit is 150. I wanna go fast, but i need other stuff, so it's tuff. I def. need new radio system(mx-a) and a mg servo. I think the cheapest 12t esc is the streak, but i've had bad past experiences with it, so i dunno. For a 12t i won't spend over 40 most likely so i have only a handful to pick from. I want deans plugs, but to replace everything i need like 25 of em, so i don't think i'll do that yet. Wait, i have 46.50 to spend on a motor kuz i have a little credit. I want the cobalt or team checkpoint, but may be a little too much. I wonder how the epic intense mods are? Pretty cheap. I'm hoping to get my truck up to 35mph. I haven't broken anything, but it may be because i can't get over 4 feet of air with the motor i have now. Well, i gotta decide in like 3 days so if anyone has some motor info or suggestions i'll listen.
