WARNING: NEVER OPERATE YOUR VEHICLE WITH THE SPUR GEAR COVER
REMOVED. SEVERE INJURY, DAMAGE TO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, AND
EXCESSIVE WEAR AND TEAR ON DRIVETRAIN MAY RESULT.
Shocks
Periodically inspect the shocks for smooth motion, leaking oil and dirt residue
build up around the shaft or caps. Do not allow dirt to build up around the shock
shaft and bottom of the shock. Doing so will reduce the life of the shock and
cause a shock to leak oil. Be sure to clean the shocks regularly with a clean and
dry soft bristle brush and/or rag.
CAUTION: NEVER USE SPRAY CLEANERS TO CLEAN YOUR SHOCKS, DOING SO CAN
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SEALS, CAUSING THEM TO LEAK MORE AND REDUCE THE
LIEF AND PERFORMANCE OF YOUR SHOCKS.
Signs to look out for determining if your shock needs to be maintained or
rebuilt.
• Oil around the shaft means the oil leaked from inside and needs to be
replaced.
• Persistent oil around the shock shaft or lower portion of the shock typically
points to damaged O-rings which will need replacing. See your local hobby
dealer for replacement parts.
Refilling your shocks:
1. Remove shock from vehicle, remove spring and top cap. Remove the bleed
screw from the cap.
2. With shock shaft extended, add oil to top of body (use only 100% silicone
oil) and reinstall the shock cap. Be sure the o-ring stays “seated” and does
not squeeze out.
3. Slowly compress the shock shaft 100% of travel using a towel or paper
napkin to clean up overflowed oil, then reinstall the bleed screw. Do not
over-tighten.
4. Check for free motion of shock. If the shock feels like it gets stiffer at the
end of compression, there is too much oil or air. Compress the shaft and
remove the bleed screw slowly to allow excess air/oil to come out, then
reinstall the screw.
5. It is normal for the shock to rebound (with the spring removed) after full
compression and release.
Replacing the O-rings:
• Disassemble shock and remove shock end and shaft from the body.
• Carefully remove lower cap by unscrewing from the shock body.
• Remove the O-ring and spacer and replace with genuine replacement parts.
• Re-assemble the shock following the refilling instructions above.
