3) is there a site that shows how to use these shocks with M05 chassis ?

Thanks!

Hi Willis,

The black o ring slides onto the shock shaft so that it sits under the piston, you then push the piston through the shock body and then attach the ball link to the end of the shaft. The black o ring helps reduce droop. Some guys use just the 1 black o ring but I've read of some guys putting 3 in there. Hope this helps
