Cheers A Great video. I've noticed that when my shock oil level is just right it's almost flush with the top when I compress the shaft after the air is all gone. Bloody good video, lots of good info. Cheers mate
In all the instructions I’ve seen you’re told to fill the oil to the point where you put the cap on and expect overflow, which would indicate a fully filled cylinder, would it not?
Hi. Nice shocks. I like the 4mm shaft. Perfect for 1/10 monster cause springs are too strong for crawlers. First I'll try ~850 CST (will see later) ... Holes in pistons are really big so ya maybe 5k are too fluid ...
without spring installed, shock shaft ideally should not rebound much, which is it is designed for. It only rebound just a little bit due to a small air chamber on shock top.
This video is incorrect. You have to tighten the cap when the shock it's fully compressed. The reason why, you can't fully compressed the shock, is because, you have air in your shocks.
Problem in this video is the thickness of the oil, the oil is so thick it can pass the holes in the piston and now the damper act like a spring. Bit of air in the shocks is ok, air is compressible, oil not. The damper has to slow down and control the movements of the spring.
Yeah oil is not going to keep it from going all the way in air has much more pressure pushing against the damper than oil. This will not allow the car to ride or land as smooth as it should
Hello, I understand that if the piston does not enter inside it is due to excess oil and that you have to remove a little and so I have done, but when I put it inside the piston does not come out, what will be the cause?, it has been days and I cannot solve it, I will appreciate your comments, Thank you.
I think you want that compression from the damper so it doesn’t bottom out. So you did it right the first time and didn’t need to take out any oil. Correct me if I’m wrong.
I usually leave a little room before the shocks bottoms out, and i like that good rebound for my rock crawler since i need the tires on contact at all times
Hello It's very interesting thank you for your video When you screw the caps back on, do you keep the stems stretched as much as possible or do you pull them up a little while screwing them back on? Thanks for your advices :)
If you leave what you are doing, likely you will not be able to resume what you are doing the same way. At least not with shocks or anything that requires you to take apart to tune or maintain.
Gonna drop you a link for the direct replacement upgraded delrin spur for the maverick soon, been torture tested on 3s 60C with a blx100 and spektrum 3100kv motor and it’s bullet proof, sounds good too, from a well known company so get them before they sell out, keep ya eyes peeled for link mate 👍
I made it as show in a gmade manual... And it's overfilled because If I do it as shown the cap pushes against the oil. I need to open them again. It's clearly to much
It's been 2 years since you asked the question. Please don't give up on the hobby. I have the same question but I am not going to wait 2 or 3 years as I could be dead in that time. I do think that some use a different weight front to rear, but others don't.
Which one better, make a zero rebound (before put the bladder and cap shock, push the shaft shock all the way up) or rebound like in this lovely video?
Possibly, but what He's saying is to not let the piston come up over the oil because it will allow air to get into the oil. So,properly filled to the level needed allowing a few millimeters from the top so the bladder can go in the shock without spilling over. Hope that makes sense.
This is totally wrong the spring should be staying compressed once you push them you have put too much oil. you have to screw the cap when the spring is compressed.
Quite bad instructions...🥶 Way too stiff oil, too much of it because piston is out when filled, should not rebound, even the lighting is poor. Zero points.
Excellent and detailed explanation, very useful. Congrats & thank you for sharing!
Thank you best shock fill vid I've watched
Thank you sir! strong work! what i was looking for
Strong?
i see the mistake on my work not leave the shock for an hour just like you did, thanks alot for this great tips my friend
Thank you so much for a great video for a "noob" like me😀 Now i can begin to fill my cars properly!!🤩
Cheers A Great video. I've noticed that when my shock oil level is just right it's almost flush with the top when I compress the shaft after the air is all gone. Bloody good video, lots of good info. Cheers mate
Bloody isn't a cuss word in America. It means you injured yourself and it is bleeding.
5000 CST is not shock oil but diff oil
Thanks for the tutorial! Really helps a lot of us newbies 🙌
Too bad it’s not proper info
@@delvpf6671 What is the proper way then?
Nicely done 👍
In all the instructions I’ve seen you’re told to fill the oil to the point where you put the cap on and expect overflow, which would indicate a fully filled cylinder, would it not?
Good video 👍 keep coming,
good video mate. Just change oil in mines. 550 on front and 500 on the back. Thanks.
Great video. Thank you from a newbie

Thanks , Should the oil be filled with the shocks compressed or extended in terms of the level?
Compressed
Good information my dude
Thank you, great video!
without spring installed, shock shaft ideally should not rebound much, which is it is designed for. It only rebound just a little bit due to a small air chamber on shock top.
I thought all shocks that have a bladder are supposed to rebound? Only the shocks that don’t have the rubber bladder do not?
This video is incorrect. You have to tighten the cap when the shock it's fully compressed. The reason why, you can't fully compressed the shock, is because, you have air in your shocks.

Why 5000 cst i have some 500 is that any good? Also why not replace the oil in the stock shocks what makes these better? Cheers
Will it still work if fille half way

Its amazing tip

Can I ask you for the outer diameter of the oil chamber?

got a link for a metal pinion as well?
What if you don’t have a stand for the shocks?
Make one :)
I made it as show in a gmade manual... And it's overfilled because If I do it as shown the cap pushes against the oil. I need to open them again. It's clearly to much
Should your use the same weight shock oil in all 4 shocks? Im just learning.

Looking for a solution or a fix I think I'm hitting the bottom plate of RC car 🤔
awesome
Which one better, make a zero rebound (before put the bladder and cap shock, push the shaft shock all the way up) or rebound like in this lovely video?
so if you see the piston pass the top of oil does that mean you should add a bit more oil?
Possibly, but what He's saying is to not let the piston come up over the oil because it will allow air to get into the oil. So,properly filled to the level needed allowing a few millimeters from the top so the bladder can go in the shock without spilling over. Hope that makes sense.
Omg I'm doing mistake😅 my oil have more air bubble, it should take an hour before close the cap lol 😭😂
Is this accurate? Other videos make it look way easier.
Hey men thanks for the video but I think you are using differential oil rather than shock oil.
Not shock oil
5000cst you having a laugh ? That’s more life diff oil 😂 I bash and I use max 850cst which is 70wt
This is totally wrong the spring should be staying compressed once you push them you have put too much oil. you have to screw the cap when the spring is compressed.
There is no spring, do you mean the shock needs to be compressed.
😢I’m new at this so I just replaced this and just didn’t feel no deferent so now I have to do all this sh is all most to much 🤦🏻♂️
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
U doing it wrong brother
Got a video for us then?
🤣🤣🤣
Whats Wrong with the back of your hands dude???
