XRAY - Model racing cars

I really enjoyed building my new XB4 16.. but I really wish XRAY would make the shocks better. I have a TLR 22-4 and the shock build on the TLR is better.

Otherwise, beautiful car, can't wait to drive it!

Hello

What do you think is wrong? I test a lot our shocks compare others and feel always our shocks are better.
Post here picture with coments what do you think is wrong.

Thanks

I feel as if they always leak out the bottom even if it's just a tiny bit they are leaking, they seem to get air in them very easy (most likely from the bottom) when bleeding them it always creates a vacuum (pulling up on the shaft after you are all back together) they never seem to get to 0 rebound. Other than that the car is soooooooo good you just have to deal with the crappy shock sealing.
I feel if they would use a small washer that helps guid the shaft into the body it would help. What I'm trying to say is washer oring washer oring then washer like AE shocks.

When i build my shocks I use grease on o-rings. If I am practice I don't touch my shocks and they are perfect all time. I think that grease will make also big difference.

That's strange. I went from 22-4 to XRay too and hated the shock builds on the TLR but found the XRay ones a dream.

I used a bit of grease too. Maybe worth trying.

Here's what I do, it's the exact opposite of what we used to do with the AE cars or years gone by.

I soak the orings in my thinnest shock oil for 45min so they swell up. Then I dry them, grease them, and build. Works for diffs as well.

Sometimes I'll polish the shock shafts with chrome polish as well. (I never run Ti Nitride shafts)

Just got he xb2 and the same thing happens with the shocks. Seems to only be the front ones. I'm gonna try a rebuild with green slime it's supposed to be for shocks so maybe it'll help
