Shocks binding
While changing shock oil recently, I noticed that on 2 of my shocks if I twist the shaft 1/4 turn it won't move in and out freely and seems to bind. If I rotate the shaft back about 1/4 turn, the shaft/piston moves in and out like it should. It feels like the piston is rubbing on the inner shock body. The other 2 are fine. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, what was the cause and fix? Thanks in advance.

hmm, as you are seeing the issue as you turn the shaft it almost seems like a bent shock shaft, but I would think regardless of how you turn it it should be consistent on how its binding. The other thing that may be tied to that as well is could you have both a slightly dented shock body and bend shock shaft? It may be just slight enough that went you turn the shaft a certain way that has this slight bend, it then in turn contacts the slightly dented shock body enough to see the binding. Could also be one of of the shaft guides is off.
I probably woudl try a known good working shock shaft and piston combo first on that shock body with the issue. Confirm you still see it. You could also try the shock shaft guide as well from the good shock body into the questionable one, and see how it goes.
Probably need to isolate the problem that way.

one funny thing I noticed on my rebuild was that the previous owner must have been king of bent hingepins as I saw a whole bunch of them in the spares box. Me being me I just chucked all of those, still a good amount of good ones included but all I could think is man that much be one tough track he races on lol.

I'm not a newb to RC racing but I have a newb question. Why is it that setup sheets for the SCT show the heavier weight shock oil in the front (lighter rear) but the 1/8 scale buggy has heavier rear shock oil but lighter front oil?
Is it because of the weight of the SCT over the buggy?

I remember back in the day with at least the nitro buggies around here some common setups when they ran the same pistons front and rear they had heavier rear oil. Maybe something to do with the weight in the back versus front at the time.

If you looked back at the legacy .2 buggies, which shared the shock package with the SCT, you would see the shock weight match to heavier front with lighter rear.

It's actually due to the abnormal shock package on the .3 (And the new .4) buggies. Our buggies run the same shock package that our truggies do.

Oh yes, that makes sense. I didn't think about that. I haven't messed with any of the .2 stuff, its all been the .3 vehicles.
Thank you

hi guys,
I'm thinking about buying a SCT410 and I was wondering if my Tenshock 3500kv would work in it ? (running 3S lipos)
I'm worried it might be too many kv and cause overheating, what do you think?
thanks for your help !
