Use the O- Ring only...... fill the shock with the oil and cycle the piston up and down 5-6 times let it sit upright for 10 min to let all or most bubbles out ( Micro fine bubbles are moving to the top) now fill the shock all the way, i even put some in the cap.with bleeder screw out... put cap on tight... slowly push piston to top... it should push out all air left in. now put that lil screw with washer back in ( carefull dont strip it) and then move the piston in and out should have zero rebound. if has rebound just open screw and then close again mto bleed a lil more oil out. . Hope this helps, Glenn

Hey guys
Just wanted to share an experience I've had with my scte
Im running a rx8 and 4600 pro 4 combo, I have the tlr tuning kit. Tlr chassis, ti turnbuckles and am running a 14 pinion with the stock spur. I'm running 7-5-2 in the duffs and emulsion shocks with 32.5 front and 27.5 rear with associated oil.
My problem is with killing batteries, I've puffed up a Orion carbon pro 6500 may 90c and then a reedy 5500 60c the following club race, my temps are not terrible (175) but it seems the pro4 is pulling too many amps for the batteries??
The esc is set up with no drag brake, 80 current limit, tp3 (linear) with timing profile 1, the lowest
What are you guys experiencing with this tekin setup, should I drop pinion size, i see some pros running 12-13, and then others running 14-15 with similar setups

WOW!!!
I'd drop your charge rate. I've been running a Trinity RevTech 6500Mah w/ 65C with no problems. Also been running a Trinity RevTech 6000 Mah w/ 35C. Ive actually been shoping for new batteries cause I been running them so much. They are expensive, but great. And they replaced mine with no problems when I did have one go bad. I'm also running a Viper Copperhead ESC w/ a VT 5150kv on a MIP Chassis. 5-7-3! So maybe I should stick with the Batteries I have??? And find them else where. Cause right now they don't make my batteries anymore. Trinity is going to the Titanium Batteries and the highest Mah is 4400.

This past Sat I raced my scte with new Hobbywing Sct Pro with the 4700 motor. Thanks to Gary O for you help with the advice with truck. I need to look at getting the tune up kit and other improvements for truck.

Love it! Jameson anyone???
I dug into my SCTE over the weekend trying to find out why the rear end is getting so loose. The suspension seems free enough. The chassis actually has more flex with the plastic braces than I remembered. Then I got to the shocks. The shock shafts are really dull. I chucked one up in my drill and buffed it up with metal polish. It was shiny and smooth and felt much freer in the shock afterward. I've ordered the TiN shafts, so this was just to prove my theory. Next up I noticed that the oil was pretty black, I had changed the oil recently but I thought that the seals were just bad and letting dirt by. I cleaned the body with mineral spirits and looked at the bore. There is a large spot on one side where the piston has worn the anodizing away. I'm sure that between the rough shafts and worn bodies I'm getting a lot of friction. So now I've got the HA bodies, bleeder caps and TiN shafts on order. I'm sure that will help quite a bit.
I also tried taking the rear brace off the truck to see how much more it would flex. I might try running without it. I think I'd also like to try making a rear brace similar to the Fioroni 8B brace that will allow the chassis to flex a little more but keep it from bending in a crash.
