I built the shock is that way I put for the piston in the tube shock and the I cover the treads with a thin plastics and slide the Orings and the spacer in that way don’t get micro cuts and a notice the last longer with not leaking! That is one of the most important thing !!
Got some of these for my Axial Wraith Spawn along with the optional Axial Hard Anodized Aluminum Pre-Load Collar (2pcs) excellent quality at a good price cheaper than the proline ones I was going to get.
My SCX10 shocks are leaking already after about a month. I never understood why they used plastic body shocks. The whole rest of the truck is a very solid rig right out of the box but the shocks are just a bad design
I really really need your help I'm trying to learn to refill shocks but,my piston doesn't come all the way to top the piston comes about quarter to eighth of an inch to the top,I can't just pushed it to top and while shock oil off.can you please help.
Isn't the point to have as much fluid in a shock as possible, hence having external reservoirs? I don't understand only filling them halfway. If you fill them and one hydrolocks you just take a tiny bit of fluid out...right?? Maybe I've been doing it wrong?

Old video but more people should watch it before they crap on these shocks and buy aftermarket, Great tutorial sir!!
Thanks, chief! been refilling them all wrong every time! No wonder I get no compression.
Clear video, thank you. My build starts next week... SCX10II

Respectfully, this was a good tutorial on the RIGHT way to build Shocks... And, I will NEVER Build a Shock WITHOUT Green Slime!!! It's that good.
John your not the John Schultz from H-Street are you?

Hey John how do I get the pivot ball out of the eye lid ?
If you are with Axial, then why don't you teach those who build the RTRs to build the SCX10 III shocks right so they don't leak everywhere?
why do you only fill it half way? i thought you were supposed to fill it all the way to the top
you are recommended by axial.. rad
These shocks leak even with green slime used the tolerances aren’t tight enough on the o rings
what grease you are using bro? and what is the best oil?
