My new kraton(used twice on pavement) when pushed downward it doesn't return ,,,,but noticed the front right shock sticks down,,,have to pull it up manually. I cranked the spring at different heights with no results. Everthing is stock out of the box. Rear end returns fine. Do I need a oil or spring upgrade? Maybe that shock is dry? This is my first big truck and am at a loss. Also, if I have to remove that shock,,how is that done,,,,no sure,,don't want to break anything.
Love this truck- thanks guys-- TAZZZZ

First guess = bent shaft?

I'm taking for granted the shock was not sticking like that after unpacking the RC. Bad/hard/wonky landing?

Only one thing to do, and that is take apart the shock(s) to look at it/them. A, ever so slight bend may not be too noticeable, but if you roll the shaft itself on a flat surface, you will soon see if it's bent or not. I'd swap shafts and pistons and see how they perform in opposite shock body.

That's all I got besides to make sure the battery is fully charged.
