Default Leaking shocks

I had two that were leaking when I pulled them out of the box. Thought it was just from factory assembly, installed and ran anyway. However, they were leaking. What I noticed was; 1. caps were a little loose 2. bleeder screws were loose (which has no effect running bladders). I then pulled all of them apart and started from scratch and used green slime on the o-rings and made sure caps were tight, but not too tight as to ruin the bladders and put locktite on the piston screws (as two had none and were a little loose). So far, no leaking

Default regarding your leaking shocks question...

All four of mine were leaking badly - but not from the top as expected. I needed to tighten the grey plastic nut into the blue metal section. You need to use the two wacky wing nut looking wrenches that they supply.

Mine needed some torque on them, did not turn a lot, but enough to tighten them down and keep them from leaking.

If you're using the receiver box, you'll need 24cm of servo wire if you don't want to use an extension. The Savox 1267 has 20cm, the 1256 and 1258 have 25cm... Not sure on other brands.

Default DONT SLEEP ON THIS ONE GUYS!

Orion experience 2 pro 3750 kv motor and esc combo. clearanced at stomer hobbies for $99.99. Fantastic in my ae 4x4 indoors and out and probably best combo i have used in my kyosho scr. Insane speeds, butter smooth. You would never guess its not sensored. Nobody at the track that has driven either truck could tell.

I have good luck with mine so far. 8.5 does all the big jumps fine. Feels a touch slower than my 4.5 550 that was in a jammin.

The 965MG doesn't need an extension if anyone is wondering. That is what I am using in the truck.

Yea it kind of felt like a car with a large turbo that took forever to spool.

Sounds like it... I do have an extension I bought when I was reading it needed one, but the Hitec I use doesn't require the extension, fits perfect. I can go measure the wires if you want.
