Hi every body. I was working on breaking in my Volcano SV Pro and the hup pack battery in the truck wasnt holding a charge. Anyway the throttle stuck and the truck hit a concrete block and bent a shock. Can the shocks be rebuilt? Where can I order the parts? This is killing me I dying to run it but keep having bad luck. Now I'm in Germany and I'm limited to one place to get parts locally which is 2 hours away. Are there other brands of parts that are compatable to rebuild the shocks.
============================================
I have bent a few shocks-bent my new Tsunami's the second run out-So as I waited for new ones to arrive I went and straightened out the bent ones.Did it work-to my shock=YES it did.They are straight and do not leak and work perfect
Here is what I did:
Remove the bent shock-did not take any of them apart
Extend it all the way
Wraped electric tape around a set of Vice Grip needle nose pliers(so as not to mar the rod)-install right above the bend
Took another set of pliers,wrapped tape around the jaws and went just below the bend and make the shock rod straight
I took my time-looked-bent a tad more-etc
