One of the best and Cheapest DIY upgrades you can make for just a few cents
using M2 O-Ring and Teflon Tape you just need to be very careful with Teflon because it dissolves when it come's in contact with oil!
After the Mod we Rebuild the shock and assembly it back to the car
it's pretty amazing that the stock shocks are almost ready to hold oil and just need a few o-rings and Teflon tape and oil of course

You don't have Pay extra it's still the same old price!
It just helps to pay for the channel bills... Thank you for your support
I wish I saw this video 24 hours ago before I bought "oil filled shocks" from Amazon for $50..... I could have spent $0.50 on a couple O-Rings instead... GOOD TO KNOW for the future! Thanks!
I like doing this as well. Very nice vids. And if you put teflon on clockwise it won't bunch up on you.
Not sure if you guys gives a damn but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all the latest series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my brother for the last couple of months =)
@Kylen Brock Definitely, I have been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself =)
@Kylen Brock Definitely, been watching on instaflixxer for since november myself =)
Next time put the tape on the other way and it will not bunch up as you put the cap on.
This is a wrong instruction.
You can not fill the shock absorber with oil to the end without leaving air.
There must be a lot of air, because only the air is compressible. The oil is not compressible. And when you fill the cylinder with full oil, when the piston is extended, when the plunger is inserted - the oil overflows to the other side, but there is less space - because there is a rod and the oil does not fit - so the shock will get high pressure and somewhere unsealed to push out excess oil. And it will be leaky. There must be air bag above oil!
How do the O-rings stop the oil from leaking out if they aren’t fixed to the cylinder cap?
simple the close of the opening around the shaft the Teflon tape stops the leak at the cap
I also don't understand the purpose of the orings. They will move inside with the shaft and won't help to seal oil from leaking out of the metal shaft hole in cap. Unless... I'm missing something? I ordered this rc car (wltoys 12428) and thinking about adding oil to existing shocks or new oil filled shocks.
they are fixed actually, there is an extra plastic ring there to holld it from going to the cylinder. so the rings are held between cap and that plastic ring
I get dyslexic to when putting Teflon tape on lol good video going to upgrade mine to thanks
you must see me when I'm drunk lol
Great job. The only thing is you wrapped the Teflon tape the wrong direction but overall thanks for the tips. Great video
hehe ye your right thx for the tip and watching :D
Great tip, just ordered the 0 rings and will upgrade my Virhuck V02 shocks.
that's nice i'm glad my vid was helpful
thank you for your comment really appreciate it :D
Killer walk through. Saved a bundle on "upgrade" shocks.
yes you did good upgrade shocks are expensive compared to this 50cent upgrade you just need to bleed the shocks a little bit to get use all the travel the shock can give
Thanks for the info DIY Shock upgrade...and where to buy O-Rings!
I'm assuming that these O-Rings will fit most shocks, such as the Wltoys A979...Cheers! 😎👍
Link of the O rings is in the description
Great video and nice tutorial 👌
Thank you is a big improvement and Simple Mod
Sweet mod
If you can't get the o-rings (or can't wait, like me😉), you can use any dense rubber material. I used some 1 ½" rubber anti vibration washers from a refrigeration compressor mount. Just use the shock body to trace out the shape, cut, and install.
👍
hy, i love your videos, but i try this trick, and the oil is licking :( , i don't understand how the oring will stop the oil licking, has they are not fixed on the bottom
when installing the shocks i turned them upside down and it works no leaking
@@HowToDIYRcok i may try that
i follow the tutorial and when i compressed the shock all the oil squirted out
Corey Henderson aaand he just hearts your comment without a explanation. Lol
it hurt watching you put that teflon on backwards
It hurt watching him do the whole thing wrong like filling it to the max with the bladder. The shock won't even compress all the way.
Jess & Josh Wyatt yes it will, just it would have a difficult time depending on the oil.
Hi brother, is it M3 O rings or M2 what you used? Thank you for the video!
M2 mate
@@HowToDIYRc says M3 in video!?
Thanks subbing doing that with my wltoys
your going to like the improvement for just a few cents :D
do you have a test vid?
+justin rambongga not yet but we working on it😃
Thx for asking and watching🖒
How with xlh 9125 standard shock, its can to modif be oil/grease shock?
if they look simmeler than yes you can do the same upgrade to your shocks 😀
@@HowToDIYRc I will try..😁
i tried this butt it does not work, if shock is compressed oil will leak out becouse the internal pump does not allow oil to move inside shock, it is desinged to work with air.
I'm sorry jeroen you did something wrong the Teflon tape can get wet it needs to stay dry while your screw the cap on...
no the problem is that oil cant compress and it has no place to go inside the supspension. way too mutch force is needed to move the supspension. (perhaps this mod also works to seal the air better)
perhaps you can try it with just air and see if you like it, after all,
every terrein is different and the person driving it
indeed, thanks for helping me, your other videos are helping me alot like the differential dissasembly
Sure np Sir one tip you can perhaps also remove a few drops of oil and fine tune your shocks that way
where did you bought the oil?
at my local garage lol it's just normal car oil
nothing expensive for this cheap Rc rock crawler
what size of the 0 ring fits the same model of suspension the most? is it M2 O-rings or M3 O-rings?
+justin rambongga m2 are the correct one
We made a mistake in the vid
oh okie thank you! :).... i wonder if WD-40 oil will works too as a suspension oil
+justin rambongga you can always try
lol ill try as soon as i got my O-rings
WD-40 is light kerosine based like mineral oils and will fuck up your rubber seals. If you are to use something, then try silicone based oil
What weight oil did you use
synthetic car oil laying around in the garage
it's just for improving the shocks to have fun bashing the car nothing pro just fun
what if i dont use the tape?
Hi THERANDOMVLOGER if you don't use teflon tape the shocks while leak and won't work proper.. sorry
Could Loctite be used instead of teflon-tape?
i don't know Sir i think Teflon tape is better
Good helpful video. One correction: oil does NOT dissolve Teflon tape. It may look like it sometimes because when you are screwing on the fittings the threads sometimes cut small pieces of the Teflon tape. Then those little pieces get in the oil and it looks like they were dissolving. Just be sure the Teflon tape is wrapped around the threads and nowhere else.
great tip thanks your awesome :D
Very good explained! Thanx!
How to upgraderc rockcrqwler at home
good one é thx
What kind of oil did you use?
15w40 engine oil the thicker the better in this case
So when u tighten the bottom cap does it clamp the orings at the bottom of the shock body so they seal tightly around the shock shaft?
yep
Where do i get the rings from
read the description below the video there you find a link that while send you to the place where you can buy them :D
m3 or m2 O rings?
TheBlackBetta the link in the discription is the correct one
Sorry we made a mistake in the vid
Good tutorial mate!
Thanks Thijs rc any tips are always welcome
I think better filling with oil high viscosity
oke thx for the tip 👍
What size diameters o ring you used?
m2 the link in the disciption are the ones you need
Im going to need to fill 8 shocks when upgrading to aluminium shocks.. helpfull video
that's a lot of work hopefully you like the performance upgrade
How To DIY Rc i already have plastic shocks filled with shock oil, but i want almost everything to be made out of aluminum, it looks alot better and i expect them to be alot stronger.. i ordered 10 for around 10 euro.. can't go wrong with that
no that's a very nice price i paid 10 euro for only 2 lol
what type of shock oil did you use, and where could I find it?
I used special oil from my 1969 VW Beetle Kitcar a FT Bonito it's super thick oil
not mend for shocks but it's an improvement over air
if you really want to tune your car to perfection than check ebay for rc shock oil
sweet thanks for your input, yeah i got some 30W oil on its way, these shocks are just way to bouncy even for my gravel lot. great tutorial this helped me out a lot. Thanks
