XRAY - Model racing cars

With the exception of a new silicone O-ring (Part #971031 Pink in color), I'm not aware of any new 0-rings being used. The only things I can think of, would be:
1> Damaged O-rings
2> Bottom cap not twisted on completely
3> You've mistaken the Xray O-rings with another brand. (I did this once, I learned my lesson )

The new purple O-rings are listed in the XRay product list (try via the T1FK parts list). But also make sure you check the thin larger black O-ring as it is crucial to prevent leakage at the bottom.

(Jilles is now lying on the floor laughing remembering my attempts to build new non-leaking shocks after forgetting to put the black O-rings on. It took me three days before I figured it out.... )

hmm, i never recall having a black oring that was part of the seals..only one for the shock collar.

where does this black oring go?

also, do you have a Part # for these new orings? ive looked on teamxray.co.uk but can't find them

The part number for the new o-rings is 971031 (see: http://www.teamxray.com/teamxray/produc ... egoria=859).


The thin black o-ring I am talking about goes onto the bottom of the shock body and together with the o-ring on the shaft helps seal the shock bottom. If you forget it you will get major leakage (at least I did ).

thanks, i might order some of them if they are actually better.

i just look in my destruction manual and it does show to put the black o rings into the bottom shock cap thingy...but it appears that my shocks doesn't have them in (damn you jonny )

thanks for your help Tonyv

Don't mention it. Like I said, I made the exact same mistake only a couple of weeks ago preparing for a big event (guess when ). Fortunately I figured it out in time!
